Jordan worked as a career coach through two rounds of tech layoffs before starting to write publicly about what actually worked for the clients they placed versus what didn't. They're skeptical of easy 'just learn to prompt' advice and instead push readers toward concrete skill audits and portfolio rebuilding. Their column often follows a single reader's transition over several months rather than offering one-off tips. They still coach a handful of clients on the side, which keeps their advice grounded in current hiring realities.
