The Problem
You Don’t Need More Career Advice, You Need Clear Direction
Advice is everywhere, most of it generic, some of it instant, and none of it knows your situation. If any of these sound like you, you’re in the right place.
“I don’t know which roles I should actually be targeting.”
“I’ve done more than my résumé says, and I can’t get that across.”
“I’m getting interviews. I’m not getting offers.”
“I keep applying and hearing nothing back.”
“I have an offer and I’m not sure it’s the right move.”
“I’m leaving the military and don’t know how the civilian market reads me.”
What It Costs
Every Month You Guess, the Bill Grows
A quarter aimed at the wrong roles
You apply, you hear nothing, and nobody tells you why. The market gave you an answer. Nobody translated it.
The offer you take because the clock runs out
The wrong seat costs a year to climb out of and a story to explain at the next interview.
Years of real work, sold at a discount
You aim a level low because nobody told you what your experience is worth to the person reading it.
You don’t need another year of feedback from silence. You need someone who reads the market for a living to tell you what it’s saying, and what to do about it.
How It Works
One Problem, 30 Focused Minutes, One Clear Direction

Scope
What We Will Work Through
Bring one of these. We go deep on it instead of shallow on all of them.
Career Direction
- What roles should I target?
- Is this pivot realistic?
- Am I aiming at the right level?
Positioning
- How should I talk about my experience?
- Why isn’t my background landing?
- How do I translate military or nontraditional experience?
Job Search
- Why am I not getting traction?
- Where should I focus?
- What should I stop wasting time on?
Interviews
- Why interviews but no offers?
- How do I handle the hard part of my background?
- How do I tell my story better?
Offers & Compensation
- Is this opportunity actually a good move?
- How should I think about the number?
- What tradeoffs am I missing?
Military Transition
- How does the civilian market see my experience?
- What roles map to what I’ve actually done?
- How do I approach this strategically instead of urgently?
This is career strategy, not legal, financial, or mental-health advice, and compensation discussion is perspective, not a data guarantee.

Why Adrian
Advice From the Other Side of the Hiring Table
Adrian advises hiring leaders, screens candidates, and runs searches for technical and leadership roles in defense and deep tech. Hiring managers approve 95% of the candidates ALAC submits to interview. That’s the judgment you’re buying: an honest read on how your situation looks to the person deciding, and the playbook that gets candidates through that door.
United States Marine Corps · 20 Years of Service
Two decades of personnel decisions where getting it wrong was never abstract, and a transition of his own.
Four-Time Talent Acquisition Manager of the Year
Recognized four times for the judgment you’re paying for: who fits where, and why.
M.S., Strategic Leadership
Trained to think about the decision, not just the document.
Co-Founder, ALAC HR Solutions
Recruits and evaluates senior technical and leadership talent for defense and deep tech companies today. He sees why companies say yes, and why they say no, every week.
Fit
Who This Is For and Who It Isn’t
This is for you if
- You have a real career decision or challenge to work through.
- You want your assumptions challenged.
- You want candid, practical feedback.
- You want to leave with actions, not motivation.
- You value the employer and recruiter perspective.
Probably not for you if
- You want someone to apply to jobs for you.
- You want someone to rewrite your résumé for you.
- You want guaranteed interviews or employment.
- You want ongoing coaching included in the price.
- You want to pay for access to ALAC client opportunities.
Separate From ALAC Recruiting
ALAC’s business is recruiting for companies, and a candidate in one of our client searches never pays us for anything. This session is different: it’s for a professional who wants Adrian’s read on their own next move, outside any search. It doesn’t buy representation, access to ALAC clients, or a place in line. It buys a diagnosis.
The Session
30 Minutes Can Save Months of Guessing
Measure it against another quarter aimed at the wrong roles, or an offer you took because the transition felt urgent. Those cost more than a conversation.

Career advisory is separate from ALAC recruiting and candidate representation. Payment does not guarantee employment or interviews, does not buy access to ALAC clients, and does not result in preferential consideration in any ALAC search. Candidates in an ALAC client search are never asked to purchase advisory support.
