Job hunting is broken. So let’s take a break from it.
Applying feels endless. Every rejection makes you wonder what’s wrong with you. And even when you land the offer, you’re signing up to work hard for someone else’s goals.
A lot of smart people are feeling defeated right now. If that’s you, this workshop is for you.
Your resume doesn’t get you hired anymore. Your portfolio does.
If you want to break into product management, forward deployed engineering, or the newest hot role on the market, marketing engineering, here’s the truth: hiring managers want to see what you’ve built.
Most people trying to make the jump don’t have a portfolio.
They don’t know what to build, or what would actually catch a hiring manager’s eye.
“Is my background good enough?”
We’ve been helping people move into these roles for years, and that’s the question we hear most. Our answer never changes. Your background is your background. Use it as a strength.
What companies want right now is proof and the projects that get attention are AI agents that drive marketing and sales: agents that bring in leads, revenue, and customers.
If you can make AI useful enough to bring in money, you’re the most in-demand person on the market.
Here’s the part that should get you excited.
If you knew how to generate leads and customers for yourself, would you even need a job?
You could be somewhere warm. Bali, maybe. Living your White Lotus life.
The skills that land your next job and the skills that mean you never need a job again are the same skills. That’s good news.
“Why would I build a portfolio for free?”
Fair question. Most people skip the portfolio because it feels like unpaid work.
So what if your portfolio projects made you money?
You’d be earning before you ever get an offer.
You’d be earning before your first interview.
And a candidate who’s already making money with AI is a lot harder to turn down.
This isn’t another webinar where you just listen.
Most Luma events give you a few ideas and leave you on your own.
This is a hands-on workshop, and it’s the first in a series.
How it works:
Before Monday: I’ll post YouTube videos showing you how to get started right away. If you don’t like waiting, you can start early.
Monday at 7:00 PM ET on Zoom: We build together, live. Zero to one, end to end, fully in public. I’m not holding anything back.
After: More workshops in the series, so you keep building and keep earning.
I put the prep in the videos so our live time goes to building, not listening.
This workshop is for you if:
You’re trying to break into PM, forward deployed engineering, or marketing engineering
You don’t have a portfolio yet, or you have one that isn’t getting responses
You’re tired of applying and want to build something that pays
