Finding a new role at 50+ is not a competence problem.

It is a positioning problem. Who you are, what you bring, and why that matters to the right employer — this needs to be communicated with precision. With a strong CV that passes AI-powered applicant screening systems (ATS), a compelling LinkedIn profile, and a clear job search strategy. That is what we work on.

Who I work with

Experienced professionals the market no longer calls back automatically.

You have 20, 25, 30 years of experience. You know what you are capable of. But the job search stalls — because the CV does not reflect what you actually bring, because the story is missing that convinces an interviewer, or because the target role itself is still unclear.

People often come to me after a break: restructuring, redundancy, outplacement, a phase where things shifted professionally. Sometimes simply the feeling that the previous path no longer fits.

What we then work on together is precision: clarity about target roles, a career narrative that holds, and application documents — CV and LinkedIn — that function as a signal, not a record.

Dirk Aßmann-Staudt — Career Coach and Executive Coach Bensheim Germany

Why me

35 years in IT. Then coaching. Not by accident.

Over three decades in the IT industry — as a founder and executive in both mid-sized companies and large corporations. I know the difference between what a CV says and what a person actually brings. I also know the moment when you realise the path you have been on is no longer your own.

My training as a systemic family therapist has fundamentally shaped the way I work: I do not just work on documents, but with the person behind the facts.

What you need today

Job searching no longer works the way you learned it.

AI has fundamentally changed the recruiting process — before a human ever reads your CV, an algorithm has already evaluated it. ATS systems filter by keywords, structural patterns, and relevance scores. LinkedIn algorithms determine who recruiters get to see at all. Those who do not understand these mechanisms are playing by rules that no longer apply.

I have been working with AI on a daily basis for over three years — as a fixed part of my coaching practice, documented in three published books on the subject. That gives me a perspective most coaches do not have: I understand the systems you are up against from the inside. Your CV and LinkedIn profile will be built to hold up against the mechanisms that decide before the human does.

The Programme

Clarity. Presence. Results.

Our collaboration in three phases

Many experienced professionals describe themselves as a list of facts — convinced that more facts create more impact. The opposite is true.

This is where our work begins.

1 SweetSpot Who you are. What you bring. What is no longer an option. 2 Market Presence How you come across when it counts. 3 Execution CV, LinkedIn, job search strategy — precise and authentic.

Three phases that build on each other — and do not end with a CV. They end with you knowing who you are, what you can do — and how to show it. AI-supported where it delivers precision and speed. Human where it matters.
