Corporate Translation Masterclass: How to Market Yourself and Land Top Jobs and Promotions in 2025
Landing top jobs and promotions - quickly - is actually pretty easy.
There’s a unique approach to getting interviews, top job offers, and promotion selections that works even in a tough job market or when getting hired seems impossible.
And it can help you even if you’re going up against nepotism, people with stronger networks than you, or internal office politics.
In fact, this approach to career progression is how I went from a junior consultant that was getting close to zero interesting or meaningful opportunities to one of the most recognizable leadership roles in growing a high profile sports streaming service from $5M/Year to $100M/Year.
It also helped the rest of the MBA-ish founding team and I land prestigious roles in Google, Amazon, Bank of America, McKinsey, BCG and other Fortune 500 companies.
You see, the harsh reality is that it’s NOT your skills and experience that will progress your career (although those are great).
But rather, how good you are at speaking in the language and narratives of decision makers and marketing yourself as the type of candidate that is the solution to their worries.
When you get this right, not only does it become easier to get top job offers and promotions, but your standing in your organization improves as well - so you have the respect, leverage, and freedom to work the way you want.
But how do you speak in the language and narratives of decision makers? What stands out to them? How can you communicate in a way that makes them want to hire, promote, and elevate you?
Believe it or not, decision makers are actually NOT trying to hire or promote the best person for the job.
They don’t have time for that. They spend their days making stressful decision after stressful decision, helping put out fires, and being beholden to pressure from their own superiors (executives, VPs, board members, etc.)
So when it comes to offering an interview, making a hire, or filling a promotion, they are interested in a solution that is quick, effective, and sellable.
Here’s what I mean:
Quick - your resume, job application, or promotion case gets a few seconds in the hands of a decision maker to capture their attention. If you sound like everyone else, you have the same chances as everyone else. Standing out quickly meets their needs.
Effective - they just want someone who can get the job done, not create problems and not be a liability. Any candidate who can get the job done is good enough.
Sellable - decision makers have their own superiors whose approval they need. When they finalize a candidate to hire or promote, they need the candidate to be an easy sell to whoever they need to look good in front of. This requires understanding the inner world and language of decision makers and leadership.
Adjusting your communication so you can become the quickly outstanding, effective, and sellable candidate is the framework you must approach your resume, job applications, and performance reviews with.
This skill allows you to connect directly with the decision maker's ego, needs, and emotions, which helps you cut through the noise and gain a massive advantage over other candidates.
It’s the one skill that separates people who seem to effortlessly progress up the career ladder and those that stay stuck.
Once I learned how to speak in the language that would stand out to decision makers, I was able to land a top job that I applied for AFTER the application window had closed and another, more qualified candidate had already been selected.
And once the other MBA-ish founders learned it too, they were able to get VP and Director level positions at some of the most prestigious Fortune 500 companies in the world such as Google, Amazon, Bank of America, McKinsey, BCG, Accenture, Salesforce and more.
And over the past 10 years, hundreds of our private mentorship students were able land top roles in consulting, product, sales, HR, engineering, finance, marketing, and more - some of our students have even gone on to take VP or C-Suite level positions at their respective companies.
But, we had to learn it the hard way. It cost us 20+ years of our careers, hundreds of anxious nights, and a huge amount of frustration at not getting opportunities we felt we deserved, over and over again.
Back then, the only ways to get ahead were:
- To accidentally figure out effective communication with decision makers yourself
- Be well-liked by decision makers enough to have them help you out by teaching this to you
- Have an unfair advantage like a family member in a powerful role, good looks, charm, or being in the right place at the right time
Without getting lucky, there was no way for the average hard-working corporate employee to learn the language and world of decision makers and use that to quickly and predictably improve their standing in the job and promotion economy.
Until now.
We put everything we’ve learned about how to communicate in this corporate world so you can accelerate your career, from our experience climbing the ladder ourselves to now being the decision makers for our own teams, into one structured course that will teach you exactly how to cut through the noise, establish the right narratives and reputations, and land top jobs and promotions in 2025.
It’s called:
The Corporate Translation Masterclass
This is a comprehensive masterclass that will teach you how to communicate across your resume, LinkedIn profiles, job applications, promotion cases, and performance reviews so you can stay in control of how you are perceived, stand out to decision makers, and position yourself as the top candidate for your next job or promotion.
It’s made based on the exact principles that have worked for the MBA-ish founding team and our hundreds of successful students that have graduated from our mentorship into top roles at major Fortune 500s, including Exxon, IBM, Amazon, Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard, BCG, Goldman-Sachs, DISH, and tons more.
Here’s what you’ll get inside:
Module 1: Symbols of Achievement, in which you will learn three simple but effective ways to quantify your contributions, unveil your “hidden” contributions, and position yourself as a top performer.
Proof that it works: This principle has helped the MBA-ish team and I communicate our significant contributions and land roles and promotions such as CFO, CTO, Sr. Director, Manager, Analyst and more across prestigious companies such as Google, Amazon, BCG, Accenture, Bank of America and other Fortune-500 companies.
Module 2: High-Pressure Circumstances, in which you will learn the four types of circumstances that tell decision makers you can be relied on in difficult situations - and when/how to use each one.
Proof that it works: This principle helped MBA-ish co-founders receive superb ratings in their performance reviews and helped me land a very high-profile job as the product leader for Canada's biggest sports streaming product in just 7 days.
Module 3: C-PET Verbs, in which you will learn what verbs actually demonstrate the value of your work (these verbs are way, WAY better than Harvard’s verbs list, trust me).
Proof that it works: Recently, one of my students used similar C-PET verbs to earn a staff engineering promotion at Amazon. The MBA-ish team has also seen similar results because C-PET verbs show your true and complete impact unlike lazy verbs such as “facilitated” or “assisted” or “led” that everyone uses from the Harvard verbs guide which is mediocre and outdated.
Module 4: How to Connect Mundane Work to Strategically Impactful Activities, in which you will learn how to frame tedious or boring everyday work into contributions that impress decision makers.
Proof that it works: This is the most powerful way to stand out to decision makers. The more you connect your mundane tasks to bigger and more strategic initiatives, the higher the chance of you getting the highest performance review rating or the next role you’re looking for.
Module 5: The 80:20:100 Rule of Writing, in which you will learn how to convert bad resume and LinkedIn bullet points into masterful ones.
Proof that it works: My students and I have received lots of praise from senior leaders throughout our careers for being excellent communicators and leaders thanks to this principle. It’s opened up career doors for us and it will do the same for you. It’s at the heart of how to effectively communicate your impact so it doesn't get lost.
Module 6: 5 Bullet Point Structures, in which you will learn about the 5 different bullet points styles you can use and when to use each one.
Proof that it works: This principle has allowed MBA-ish co-founders to showcase their special talent that goes beyond meeting job requirements. And every time, recruiters and hiring managers have picked up on those special talents because of the bullet point structures that we utilized to communicate our talent.
Module 7: Reduce The Noise, in which you will learn how to distinguish between relevant and fluff information on your resumes, LinkedIn profiles, job application, performance reviews, and promotion cases.
Proof that it works: This principle is the one I have used the most in the last 10 years of my mentorship to help people improve their resume and promotion cases and help them get the jobs or promotions they want. When you write less, you confuse decision makers less.
Module 8: The 3 Silent Credibility Killers, in which you will learn the top 3 communication mistakes almost all professionals make that causes them to self-sabotage their reputation.
Proof that it works: This principle was developed from the MBA-ish founders’ and our peers' experience of skimming thousands of resumes and hiring and promoting hundreds of employees. We realized that all of us were keying in on certain credibility killers to quickly make decisions of who to interview and who to reject or whose performance review case made the most sense - and we all narrowed it down to these three credibility killers so you can avoid them and stand out against other candidates.
Plus, you’ll get these bonuses:
Bonus #1: The secret resume template praised by Google, Amazon & F-500 companies' hiring managers because of its effectiveness at quickly highlighting your achievements.
Bonus #2: The first ever Strategic Objectives Tree, designed to help you convert mundane, everyday tasks to higher-order company objectives and position you as an essential asset.
Bonus #3: The MBA-ish Resume Dictionary which you can use a quick reference guide to update your resume or LinkedIn profile, and enhance your job applications and promotion cases
Hundreds of our students have already used these principles and strategies to excel at work, enhance their reputations, and get top job interviews, offers, and promotions. Here’s what some of them had to say:
“Since taking the MBA-ish Master Class, l've secured three Director-level interviews with salaries over $130,000 (more than l've ever made in my life) with name-brand companies in my area. I did a career change months before the pandemic lockdown. I expected to start over in entry-level roles with $30k but I am glad I took this class and planned out a new strategy with 1:1 mentorship in the master class.”
Arthur U, Project Management Office, IBM
“I have learned more in this MBA-ish Master Class than in the last 10 years of my career with different mentors. It’s two hours of incredibly wise and smart advice, lessons and examples. I used the C-PET verbs and Reframe principles that you taught for my promotion cases and it made my document very impactful. I also helped my coworkers re-write their performance reviews with these tips as well and they were incredibly impressed. And yes, I did receive the promotion to staff engineer and I am actively teaching your principles to my direct reports. Please let me know when you release your next master class, I am really looking forward to it.”
Curtis F, Engineer, Amazon
“I used your second principle about high pressure circumstances and I got through to the CEO within a week. This is after I applied for more than 300 jobs in the last 5 months and got very little traction. As soon as I used your second principle, not only did I get a recruiter call me within 48 hours but after speaking with me (where I used your symbols of achievements principle) she shared my profile with the CEO who I interviewed within a week. Huge improvement. I run a mentorship program for university graduates in Boston (Harvard, Yale etc.) and I have begun sharing your tips with them and they have found it to be very helpful. In today’s recession economy, your lessons are very helpful for us to land our next role.”
Xavier F, Product, Stealth Startup
“First of all, you need to charge way more for this course because that’s how valuable it is. I cannot tell you how many peers and friends have stolen my resume format that I got from you in this master class. It’s brilliant. When I went into my interviews, every single manager asked me about my achievements right at the beginning of the interview. It changed the entire narrative of the interview because of the brilliant resume template you shared.”
Stacey R, Sales, Microsoft
“MBA-ish, you are the corporate Rosetta Stone where you are letting me and others know how to speak in the language that works on corporate leaders. MBA-ish Masterclass course is an excellent investment for professionals seeking to gain a competitive edge in their careers. The strategies, resources, and coaching offered by them equip participants with the necessary tools to stand out as top performer and accelerate their career progression. Take their class and thank me later - you won’t regret it."
Benjamin, Marketing, HP
“MBA-ish really opened my eyes on how I should look at my own contribution to my company and how to market myself inside for a promotion and outside for a step-up career change. His advice is very deep and his tips helped me advocate for myself in a competitive industry.”
Rafaz Z, Consultant, BCG
“I found myself feeling undervalued and even questioning my qualifications. MBA-ish principles changed my entire approach and helped me re-write my contributions in a much more strategic manner so my performance reviews with my manager were far better than before.”
Luis M, Goldman-Sachs
“Course was incredibly helpful. MBA-ish was able to bring out so many of my own hidden achievements that I completely missed out on. Little things that I didn’t even know were important turned out to be vital in re-shaping my narrative and helping me stand out against other candidates. It’s been a game changer in seeking leadership roles in my industry where so many senior leaders are currently unemployed and the competition is intense.”
John P, Director, Top 5 Digital Media Publisher
“I graduated with my MBA from a top 7 MBA program last year, and we would have appreciated this in our curriculum. I finished the master class and have already learned so much about how to market myself and land my next career milestone role. The little details, the business writing principles and the interview strategies are based on years of experience and I have never heard of before. They are gems that have already helped me stand out across my resume and interviews.”
Katie P, Director Ad Ops
“I have taken courses and read books on how to be a first time manager. They all seemed very basic and written for people who want to be average managers. MBA-ish taught me more in one session than all of them in the past. My whole perspective changed and I feel confident in how to manage my new team. The best tip was to accept and inform the team we’ll have some failed experiments and some successful ones as we build new routines and goals - that transparent communication with scripts that MBA-ish provided have been very helpful to my team and I, and has already reduced imposter syndrome and increased trust.”
Angela D, Consultant, MBB
“Can you teach this course in our MBA program? That’s how effective this course is. From the 8 principles of professional writing to strategic terms/verbs to all the additional resources you have given us in this class to help us stand out in the business world - it’s perfect for an MBA course because way too many consultants, bankers and others get an MBA and never learn the art of professional and clear communication and how to stand out without being a kiss-ass loser.
Anil T, MBA, UCB
“This course was so helpful that I translated it in the Russian language for my students in Russia. The situation here is very challenging due to the war and my students have been relying on your lessons from my translations to restructure their resume to apply for jobs in Europe and America. You should charge more for this course - I take a lot of american professional education courses and this is in the top 3 I have ever taken - that’s why I translated it for my audience. Really appreciate it.”
Polina C, Human Resources, IBM (Russia)
“This course helped me land my next big role in a highly competitive industry. I didn’t know how to market myself but now I feel so so grateful to MBA-ish team for helping me connect my work to significant company achievements so I can stand out as the top candidate. I also appreciated their warmth and generosity in meeting several times and exchanging multiple emails until I felt ready for my job applications and interviews.”
Stacey, Senior Risk Manager, Walsh Group
“MBA-ish taught me how to reposition my entire resume to help me move from project management into product management. He understands career pivots very well like a seasoned leader. I forwarded his contacts to my work besties and they were raving about him.”
Raymond C, Product, DISH Network
