Still thinking?
Here's what's included:
The Curriculum
Action-based, step-by-step trainings and resources so you can confidently target jobs that align with your values and strengths and source interview opportunities.
Our signature curriculum is a one-stop-shop for everything you need to know about job searching for MBAs. You’ll be able to give Career Services some tips.


Career Coaching
You’ll have access to Career Protocol coaches to make sure no question goes unanswered and no step feels uncertain.
You’ll also have access to LIVE group calls with Angela and the Career Protocol team for on-the-court coaching, feedback, and answers to your tricky career questions.
Community & Accountability
A safe, transparent, and private community of MBAs just like you, seeking to make their next step with a flourish. You’ll have an open forum to share your struggles, ask your questions, and most importantly, celebrate your wins.

Our comprehensive curriculum is designed
to help you rise above the amazingly talented pool
of your MBA classmates in four simple steps.

Phase 1:
Take stock of your career assets
We start by chucking out your MBA essays and facing your professional future with a clean slate. Don’t worry, it’s not scary at all. It’s actually exhilarating!
We’ll coach you through the process of examining your experiences, strengths, values, and existing network.
In this phase, you will…
- Learn about the different types of relationships that benefit your career and remind yourself how many awesome people are already in your corner
- Take stock of your greatest hits – those 5-10 achievements that define you and the value you have to offer
- Explore your stories – dig deep into the choices you’ve made that distinguish you from every other MBA contender
- Take your first step toward mastering Communication That Connects, a core executive skill that you’ll use in every aspect of your career and recruiting journey
- Define your core values – the ones that will shape all your recruiting choices, networking conversations and interviews

It’s like a jet propulsion engine upgrade… but for your career
By the time you’re finished with the first phase of YOMO, you’ll know exactly the value you’re bringing to the table and the values you’ll seek in future employers and jobs so you can start building the bridge toward your best next step.
You’ll get:
- Our foolproof Professional Introduction Framework to help you confidently introduce yourself to any recruiter
- Our 4 Indispensable Professional Email Templates to activate your network
- Our complete Success Inventory Workbook with guided videos for cataloging your greatest hits, most valuable strengths, and core values
Phase 2:
Activate and grow your network
Opportunities come from people. In this phase we’ll coach you to activate your existing network and make new professional friends in an easy, low-pressure way. That way, when interview time comes, you’ve got friends on the inside at your target companies.
Even people who hate networking love this part.
You will…
- Reconnect with past mentors and champions in a warm and positive way that makes them eager to help you reach your next step
- Learn how to pass the airport test at recruiting events
- Master the magical art of the informational interview so you can get to know target companies and source opportunities without feeling needy
Because it’s not what you know, it’s who knows you.
By the time you’ve completed the second phase of YOMO, you’ll be confidently in touch with your network, creating new connections, and making a strong positive impression on recruiters and company reps you meet.
Phase 3:
Create inspiring targets
The beauty of MBA recruiting is that your next job will be a huge step up from your last job. Your goal is not only to maximize the value of that job (beyond compensation and also in terms of knowledge capital) but also to choose the opportunity that sets you most soundly on the path to your most fulfilling career in the long term.
So basically, get ready to dream big and swing hard!
You will…
- Dive deep into post-MBA jobs and learn how MBA recruiting ACTUALLY works so you can strategize accordingly when you get to campus
- Create your Career Bucket List: that honest set of achievements and impact your heart desires for your career
- Determine your Career Keywords: the industry, role, function, and dealbreakers that will guide your company research efforts
- Design your Career Game Plan: your roadmap to fulfilling your potential for impact and finding joy in your career
- Design your Career Game Plan: your roadmap to fulfilling your potential for impact and finding joy in your career
- As a bonus, you’re invited to join our annual Happy at Work Workshop and reflect even deeper on the components your next job needs to deliver for maximum joy at work

You can’t get where you’re meant to go without a map.
By the time you’re finished with this phase of YOMO, you’ll have profound clarity about what you want next and in the long term of your career – not just in terms of company names and titles, but in terms of what really matters: growth opportunities, impact, fulfilling tasks, and the kinds of people you want by your side.
You’ll get:
- Your Career Wish List and Career Keywords Template to home in on your short- and long-term ambitions
- Our Career Game Plan Workbook to strategically plan the rest of your career
- Our Complete Crash Course in MBA Jobs and Recruiting so you don’t get dazzled by the options or bamboozled by the pace of recruiting when the time comes
Phase 4:
Stand out (in a good way)
Phase 4 is where the rubber meets the road. We’re taking all the self-awareness you’ve developed about what you want and who you are and channeling that into brilliant communication that will make you stand out against your competitors like a unicorn in the black forest!!
Communication is your key to success from now on, so let’s master some new skills.
You will…
- Create awesome cover letters that actually enhance your candidacy instead of landing in the circular file
- Research a company in 30 minutes flat, so you can confidently decide if it’s a fit for you while also laying the groundwork for your future interviews
- Deep dive into transferable skills to identify your qualifications, even when they don’t initially seem obvious
- Size yourself up against a job and get ready to impress firms with your fit, even for roles where you are less qualified
- Upgrade all your professional communications: refresh your LinkedIn profile, rock your MBA resume, and learn how to walk anyone through your resume in a way that inspires

Your career will be setback-proof once you’ve learned how to communicate like a rockstar.
By the time you’re finished with the final phase of YOMO, you’ll have unshakable confidence in your ability to land the opportunities that are best for you. You will know that you can convey who you are and the value you bring to the table in any context.
You’ll get:
- Our easy-to-use Cover Letter Template and sample successful cover letters
- Our foolproof Company Research Template, which helps you gather everything you need in 30 minutes flat
- Your Job Preparation Template so you can match your skills to every job you apply for and get full credit for all your transferable skills
- Walk Me Through Your Resume Templates so you can wow them with your uniqueness from the first “hello”
- Our Badass Resume Template, which will get you all set to score 90+ on the VMock Scale
All along the journey
Throughout the entire program, from beginning to end, you will be reactivating your network with thank-you notes, creating new connections through informational interviews, and conducting efficient company research so that when you get to campus you are about 35 legs up over your classmates. You’ve already taken your destiny into your own hands.
Even better, you can share the journey (and the challenges) with your fellow YOMOS.
You will:
- Send thank-you notes weekly to mentors and champions in your network
- Conduct two informational interviews a week and share your reports, gaining access to all of your classmates’ (and all past YOMO students’) informational interview reports
- Research companies using our efficient template and share your reports (again), gaining access to all the research of YOMOs who have come before you

Still trying to decide
if this program is for you?
Does this sound like you?
You spent countless hours studying for the GMAT, planning and perfecting your essays, nitpicking the heck out of your resume, corralling your busy recommenders, sweating through one or more challenging MBA interviews, and you finally emerged… victorious!!!
You got into one of your top choice MBA programs!
But now you’re starting to turn your eyes toward the mystifying vortex of post-MBA recruiting, scratching your head and wondering…


What do I do now?
If you’re like most rising MBAs, you’re beginning to feel that pressure to get the internship and/or post-MBA job that will justify the massive investment you’re making in your MBA.
Do you feel just a little confused, nervous, or overwhelmed? Big Yikes. But, we hear you.
You are not alone!

We’re here to help
One thing nobody tells you
about MBA admissions is that getting in
is actually the easy part.
No matter how hard you worked studying for the GMAT, crafting your materials, coaching recommenders, and prepping for interviews… it was child’s play compared to MBA recruiting.
How’s that? Think about it. You beat out a lot of competitors to get into the school of your choice.
Now, to get out of it, you’re going to be competing ONLY with other people who also won the admissions competition.
One of the bonuses of getting into a great school is the amazing network of friends and colleagues you’ll build with your extraordinary classmates.
But it’s also what makes recruiting such a beatdown.
Most of our clients report that Impostor Syndrome peaks during business school, but that’s not the biggest concern when it comes to MBA recruiting…
Post-MBA recruiting provides unprecedented, once in a lifetime
access to jobs.
We’re talking companies and positions that you could never secure without the access your MBA provides.
The significance of this opportunity doubles for any international students who want to work in the U.S. post MBA.
If you want to work in one of the handful of jobs that you can only access from an MBA program, you have to make these moments count. You’ll never have the same chance again.
But even if you don’t want one of those elite jobs…


The first job you get out of business school establishes the floor of the rest
of your career.
The more money you’re offered and the stronger that post-MBA job foundation is, the further you’ll go and the more you’ll earn over the lifetime of your career.
Make no mistake, your post-MBA job is a greater determinant of your long-term career success than the brand of your MBA.
Recruiting starts FAST!
It’s a long-cherished myth that the MBA gives you a break from work, time to explore different options, and a chance to figure out what you really want to do.
The unfortunate reality that broadsides most MBAs is that recruiting starts almost immediately.
That’s right. In many top MBA programs, you will be networking with recruiters from day one.
Even at the schools that delay recruiter access, you’ll only have 6-7 weeks to get situated as a student before the floodgates open and you’re expected to present a confident and polished picture of who you are and what you want.
But here’s the good news: Now that you know recruiting is coming at you faster than you can say Boston Consulting Group, you can prepare yourself to make the most of it!!


We’re here to help you make it count because You ONLY MBA Once!
Year after year, we watched our amazing clients work so hard to get into great schools only to end up in jobs they didn’t love post-MBA.
After both we and they had poured so much sweat, love, and tears into their applications, it was heartbreaking to see them fail to get the lift-off they wanted on the other side.
Since career coaching is in our DNA at Career Protocol, we knew we had to do something about it.
And so YOMO was born, to help rising MBAs everywhere.
Join the YOMO MBA Recruiting Protocol
The YOMO MBA Recruiting Protocol gives you the skills and confidence to pursue the MBA internship or full-time job of your dreams. You’ll have a competitive advantage in recruiting from this moment forward.

What if I told you at the end of this program
you would have…

Confidence in who you are and the value you offer employers

Clarity about what you really want for your internship and post-MBA jobs

The executive communication tools to differentiate yourself

Strong relationships to support you in your quest
Wouldn’t you be like…?

You might actually be able to relax and enjoy the first year of your MBA instead of going to the dark place… (you know, that constant state of freakout and paralysis).
Well, guess what?
YOMO
will revolutionize your career
The YOMO MBA Recruiting Protocol gives you a comprehensive recruiting system that you can use to create a career you truly LOVE.
It will help you target and achieve an MBA internship and full-time job that you actually want: one that will meet your needs, challenge you to grow, and allow you to have the impact you want to have.
What’s more, it will give you a repeatable process to utilize throughout your career. (Most MBAs uplevel themselves by changing jobs 3 or more times in their first 10 years.)
With YOMO, you’ll always have the confidence to conduct a networked job search and leverage your relationships to get the next opportunity you want.

Here’s what some of our students
have to say:

“The YOMO program helped me to crystallize what I want from my career and articulate it incredibly well…. I found the self-reflection and self-development exercises (which are incredibly well-designed and curated) particularly insightful in the context of the group coaching sessions.”
Harvard Business School Student

“An absolute must for anyone beginning their MBA journey. This course breaks the MBA experience into digestible pieces and gives you the tools you need to successfully navigate any program. I greatly appreciated the voice of calm and reason.”
Yale School of Management Student

“YOMO taught me how to figure out my focus for MBA recruiting and how to network in a practical and intentional way. As a result of YOMO, I feel confident in navigating the recruiting process with more joy and less overwhelm.”
WashU Olin Business School Student
By the end of YOMO, you’ll have...
#01

Unshakable Self-Confidence
Define and clearly communicate your values and value-adds to any role.
#02

Relationships to draw on
Build a mutually beneficial network within your target companies.
#03

Polish and presentation
Shine from Day 1 with a best-practice LinkedIn profile, resume, cover letter, and much more.
#04

Positioning advantage
Position yourself as a coveted candidate, even for jobs you are underqualified for.
Success stories!
Currently, in my first year at HBS, I enrolled in her YOMO course the summer before school started. It dramatically changed (for the better!) the way I approached networking and searching for opportunities in my target industry.
I’ve leveraged Angela’s techniques to develop more meaningful professional relationships and gain access to new resources... I can absolutely say that Angela’s guidance – both on paper and in conversations – helped me to land my dream internship for the summer. I spoke to her shortly after accepting the offer to share the good news, and even got a little cherry-on-top advice for the road!"


I decided to take YOMO from Career Protocol because, as a potential career switcher I did not know where to start and I thought the summer was a good time to get prepared for the recruiting process. I got much more than I asked for!
Through a structured set of videos, assignments and most importantly, direct coaching with Angela, the course helps you discover and analyze your passions and interests, and fix/improve/or totally rework the basic tools you’ll need to do this... It may sound cheesy but personally, the self-reflection part about my past and future is what I found most valuable.
I feel this has helped me home in on my future career path. I find that invaluable as I feel more focused and prepared to start my Stanford MBA journey.”
What’s in the course?

- Real relationships – built in an effortless way – with firms you want to work for, so you enter the MBA with friends on the inside at target firms
- An awareness of how to position yourself for any job, so you can land the interview initiation no matter how underqualified you might seem
- Polished professional communications, including your LinkedIn, resume, cover letter, networking introductions, and coffee chat scripts

Still on the fence?
If you read any of the following and think, “Yes! This is ME,”
then YOMO is perfect for you:
You need to make your post-MBA job pivot count.
If you’re headed to business school to alter the course of your career, you know that the post-MBA recruiting job market is your very best chance to set your career on the course that will maximize your future earning potential, impact, and joy. If you’re willing to do the work now to go after what you want, this program will give you the tools to source and earn the best job for you post-MBA.
You’ve struggled in the past to make a job change, encountered unexpected road blocks, and/or settled for something less than you wanted.
Taking control of your career destiny alone can be difficult. What you need is a mentor (or a few!) who can show you exactly how to approach a job search with enthusiasm, confidence, and all the right tools. Angela, the Career Protocol Team, and YOMO are your best next step.
You’re changing industries, functions, or geographies (or more than one of those) in your post-MBA job.
If you’re changing cultures and leaving behind a lot of what you’ve learned so far in your career for a new industry, function, or geography, then the onus is on you (more than anyone) to convey the value you can bring in a language your new colleagues, companies, and communities will understand. These executive communication lessons are woven throughout every single mission of YOMO.
You have a big vision for impact or success in your career and you’re not quite sure how to actualize it.
If you’ve ever wondered how you are going become the person you are meant to be through your career, your wondering days are over. The YOMO MBA Recruiting Protocol will teach you The Career Protocol: the set of macroskills that differentiate top performers from everyone else. In addition to helping you create your career vision and game plan, this program will give you the tools to pursue that vision with confidence.
You want to stop living in fear of layoffs or visa constraints and chart your own course to success despite market factors.
There are no guarantees in this world, and bad things happen without warning. But even if you aren’t subject to a bad news event in your career, you will still be seeking to upgrade your career every few years. That is par for the course for post-MBA life. Future-proof your career by building the skills of active career management and effective job searching in this program.
This program might NOT be for you if….
Investing in this program would be an extreme financial burden for you and your family.
An MBA is expensive, to be sure. The YOMO investment is less than 1% of what a full-time MBA program will cost you (and about 25% of the price of a single full-time MBA course). If that 1% helps you maximize your return on the MBA itself, then YOMO will pay for itself many times over during your career. Still, be wise about your own financial situation and make only the investments that you can make without creating unnecessary hardship for yourself and your loved ones.
You’re not able to dedicate at least 30 extra hours over the next 6 months to your recruiting process.
30 hours is about all YOMO will take you, and we recommend that you do all the work in the 3 months after you sign up. Hopefully you agree that 10 hours per month is a tiny price to pay to upgrade your career and get the post-MBA job you really want. Some top performers spend 5-10 hours a week growing their network and improving their career prospects in and outside their firms, so we think 10 hours a month as you approach your MBA isn’t even a table stakes investment you should be making in yourself. But if you’re not willing to invest those hours, this program is not the right fit for you.
You’re looking for a program that is information ONLY.
YOMO is an action-based program. We’re not selling information; we’re teaching you new skills, which you need to learn on-the-court live and in action. Networking, communication, and self-awareness can’t be learned in a vacuum. So if you just want information about how recruiting works, this program isn’t the best option for you.
Meet your instructor
Hi, I’m Angela!
I was about 23 years old when I decided my life was going to be all about helping people (including myself) self-actualize and be all they are meant to be. Because that’s how we’re gonna make this planet work for everyone: sharing our gifts, making meaningful connections, and fulfilling our potential and purpose.
It’s also the easiest way to make work more fun. And life is supposed to be fun. So I skilled up.

- I got an MBA from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.
- I learned how to teach (I’ve taught English as a Second Language, GMAT math, LSAT logic, and a bunch of other cool stuff. I’ve been trained to train.)
- I did my apprenticeship in business at The Boston Consulting Group, where I also managed the firm’s Women’s Initiative and worked as a strategic HR at KPMG.
- And I did a deep dive into narrative form, studying screenwriting with some of the industry’s greatest teachers.
I’ve helped thousands of people:
- Identify their passions
- Improve their self-awareness and communication skills
- And increase their confidence
I have advised some of the world’s most important, high-impact, and high potential individuals, and I’ve been called an empathetic philosopher, masterful story coach, expert confidence builder, and even a “Career Guardian Angel.”
You can read more about what people have said about working with me on LinkedIn, Poets&Quants, or Career Protocol.

I put all my best tools into YOMO.
I hope you’ll join me!

Still not sure?
Let’s dive deep into YOMO’s curriculum
Missions 1-3
What should I be when I grow up?
We begin by chucking your MBA essays out the window. Even if you passionately believe what you wrote in those essays, your option set has changed, and you owe it to yourself to reassess and consider the possibilities with fresh eyes. Greater self-knowledge is our first goal in YOMO.
- Learn the secret 4-part formula for being happy at work
- Discover an inspiring and compelling way to introduce yourself to any recruiter at any company
- Explore your greatest accomplishments and clarify your transferable experiences
- Begin to find mentors everywhere
- Get to know the Course Roadmap


Missions 4, 8, and 10
What matters most to me?
The key to differentiating yourself in any recruiting process is showing self-awareness and values- and trajectory-alignment with the company and role. So in YOMO, we deep dive into your values and career objectives and help you learn to communicate them in the most inspiring way possible.
Home in on your values
- Complete the Explore Your Values Exercise and determine the direction of your long-term career vision
- Learn how to research a company and decide if it’s a fit for you in 30 minutes flat
- Create your Career Wish List and Career Game Plan
Missions 6-7
The foolproof two-step process for getting any job offer
One of the secrets to long-term career success is this: It’s other people (not you) that determine it. Once you graduate from business school and move on to leadership, you will ascend no faster than other people invite you to. So relationship-building is everything. Luckily, that’s a focal point of YOMO.
The 5 macroskills you need to be happy at work
- Understand the importance of relationships and learn how to build meaningful ones with firm representatives
- Develop your informational interview script
- Complete your Success Inventory and lay the groundwork for job interview stories


Missions 9
How do I stand out in a competitive field? (“I’m a nontraditional/career switcher – Help!!”)
Showcasing transferable skills is a simple science that you will learn in this course. Never again will you be afraid to punch slightly (or way) above your paygrade. You will always have the confidence to show them you’re prepared for the challenge.
The fundamentals of good communication
- Learn how to convey your experiences to any kind of employer so your transferable skills are clear and your candidacy is compelling
- Perfect your MBA resume and LinkedIn profile
- Complete your Career Bucket List
- Learn how to walk anyone through your resume in an inspiring way and pass the airport test
Missions 12-13
How do I get the job, even when I’m less qualified than other candidates?
Underrepresented and non-traditional applicants take note only for roles you’re 80%+ qualified for and start confidently targeting roles with much bigger upsides and steeper learning curves like the old boys do.
Make your strengths REALLY shine
- Learn how MBA recruiting really works, and get a jumpstart on the things that will drive actual results
- Learn how to size yourself up against a job description, assessing your strengths and experience gaps
- Identify your transferable experiences and skills even when they aren’t initially obvious
- Decide once and for all: Yes consulting, or no consulting?
- Learn how to use demonstrated passion to address weaknesses in jobs where you are making a sizable career switch
- Complete the crash course in MBA jobs and develop your full Career Game Plan


Missions 15
How do I keep an open mind about all the options without freaking out?
The goal of YOMO isn’t to make final decisions before you get to campus. It’s to get you ready to proactively and powerfully make choices in real-time. We end the program with final tips for the road so you can flourish when recruiting actually starts.
Your decision framework
- Create your Decision Framework so you can filter internships and post-MBA jobs based on your values, constraints, and what you really want from your next step
- Build your 90-Day Plan: the activities, clubs, classes, and experiences you will prioritize in your first term to prepare for your summer internship interviews
- Graduate!
Throughout the course
Develop your network with expert guidance
- Conduct research on 10 or more target companies so you can speak intelligently to recruiters from Day 1
- Build relationships with multiple companies and meet friends on the inside, so you can get that interview invite
- Share your research with classmates and benefit from their research, too
100% DOUBLE PROTECTION GUARANTEE

Then you’ve got a year to do all the work. If you participate in the program, do all your assignments, and still don’t get an internship offer, we’ll give you your money back.
YOMO FAQ
Of course not!! You have to do the work!! If you go through all the work of the YOMO class, you’ll be in the best shape possible to get one of the post-MBA jobs you want. But we can’t make any promises that you’ll land a certain job. Ultimately, the decision to hire you is up to the recruiters at your target companies. Since we don’t have any magic spells to cast in your favor, we can’t guarantee specific results.
This class is designed to fit into your life, even if you’re traveling the world pre-MBA! In Session 1, you’ll get a Course Roadmap that breaks your homework down into week-by-week assignments with associated time estimates. 40-50 total hours should do the trick.
Each mission is a little different and requires somewhere between 3 and 7 hours to complete all homework. Remember, you are advancing your recruiting process during the class! It’s not just theory. Is your career satisfaction worth an hour (or less) per day for the next 2 months? I hope so!!
Don’t worry! We record everything and share it in the Learning Center. Within a few hours of each session, you’ll be able to watch it on-demand. You can always ask questions in the online YOMO Community Group as well.
Your access to the YOMO MBA Recruiting Protocol will continue for a year after you sign up. If you wish to extend your access, including your membership in the Emerald Circle with group coaching, office hours, and community huddles, you can join as an alumni member for a nominal annual fee.
Heck yes! The best time to start taking your career destiny into your own hands is one year ago. The second-best time is today. Let’s do this!
Well, Angela went to Booth, which is reputed to have the best career services department in the MBA world. She was also a recruiter at BCG, evaluating top talent at the world’s very best MBA programs. And she developed this course as a response to what MBAs need despite the resources career services provides. A lot of our YOMO alums are HBS and Stanford and you-name-it top MBA program graduates. So while we would never say someone needs YOMO, you can most definitely benefit and it will almost certainly give you a leg up on your peers.
Yes! You will benefit most of all because you will have to do more heavy lifting yourself to source the job opportunity you want next. The skills you build in YOMO will compensate for what your school doesn’t and can’t provide by way of career coaching and soft skill development.
Not yet. Though you will almost certainly want to complete YOMO before you start your MBA, this program will not help with the main aspects of the MBA application that you need to master to gain acceptance to a program. Get in first, then do YOMO! If you’d like to work with Career Protocol to get into your favorite MBA schools, check out our MBA application services.
OMG no!! You need to reframe the way you think about money, my friend!! You are investing two whole years of your life (and you know time is WAY more valuable than money) PLUS all the cash you’re laying out or borrowing for the MBA itself. A single MBA class at most schools costs upwards of $7,000. This is a FRACTION of that!! And it helps you really maximize the value of that much bigger investment.
If you bought a house, wouldn’t you invest a little extra money to secure the foundation – especially if it was shaky? It’s a no-brainer!!! We know YOMO is a teeny tiny price to pay to make the most of your career pivot, and you will too once you take the class. One-to-one coaching on these concepts would cost over $10,000.
But there’s also a key reason it costs what it does. We’re building a community here. Your YOMO classmates are going to share resources with you and expect you to do the same. That means you have to be engaged. You’ll be inspired to sign up for this class because it’s awesome, but you’re a busy person. If you pay just a little for it, you’ll be tempted to set it aside and get to it later. And then you won’t get the full benefit of the class, and your classmates won’t get to benefit from your participation. So, we decided that setting a price that’s affordable but not negligible was the right solution.
Yes.
I bet you say that to everyone.
Yes we do! But it’s because we really believe in it. We’re not in this business for the money – we’re here to make a difference. YOMO makes a difference. Students worldwide have made the most of their MBAs thanks to it, and we want that for you, too.
Well, here’s how to know if it’s NOT for you:
- You hated the stuff you’ve read and heard on our website, YouTube channel, and webinars, and you feel like it would just suck to keep getting information from Angela and hearing her voice
- You already have your post-MBA job lined up and don’t want to develop job-search skills to use somewhere else down the line in your career
- You’re a millionaire and you don’t care what you do post-MBA
If any of those statements are true for you, then this course is probably not for you. If you don’t fall into any of those three categories, you will get value out of this class.
Ready to join?
Alrighty then, let’s do this!!

Still thinking?
Here's what's included:

The Curriculum
Action-based, step-by-step trainings and resources so you can confidently target jobs that align with your values and strengths and source interview opportunities.
Our signature curriculum is a one-stop-shop for everything you need to know about job searching for MBAs. You’ll be able to give Career Services some tips.

Career Coaching
You’ll have access to Career Protocol coaches to make sure no question goes unanswered and no step feels uncertain.
You’ll also have access to LIVE group calls with Angela and the Career Protocol team for on-the-court coaching, feedback, and answers to your tricky career questions.

Community & Accountability
A safe, transparent, and private community of MBAs just like you, seeking to make their next step with a flourish. You’ll have an open forum to share your struggles, ask your questions, and most importantly, celebrate your wins.
Our comprehensive curriculum is designed to help you rise above the amazingly talented pool of your MBA classmates in four simple steps.

Phase 1:
Take stock of your career assets
We start by chucking out your MBA essays and facing your professional future with a clean slate. Don’t worry, it’s not scary at all. It’s actually exhilarating!
We’ll coach you through the process of examining your experiences, strengths, values, and existing network.
In this phase, you will…
- Learn about the different types of relationships that benefit your career and remind yourself how many awesome people are already in your corner
- Take stock of your greatest hits – those 5-10 achievements that define you and the value you have to offer
- Explore your stories – dig deep into the choices you’ve made that distinguish you from every other MBA contender
- Take your first step toward mastering Communication That Connects, a core executive skill that you’ll use in every aspect of your career and recruiting journey
- Define your core values – the ones that will shape all your recruiting choices, networking conversations and interviews

It’s like a jet propulsion engine upgrade… but for your career
By the time you’re finished with the first phase of YOMO, you’ll know exactly the value you’re bringing to the table and the values you’ll seek in future employers and jobs so you can start building the bridge toward your best next step.
You’ll get:
- Our foolproof Professional Introduction Framework to help you confidently introduce yourself to any recruiter
- Our 4 Indispensable Professional Email Templates to activate your network
- Our complete Success Inventory Workbook with guided videos for cataloging your greatest hits, most valuable strengths, and core values
Phase 2:
Activate and grow your network
Opportunities come from people. In this phase we’ll coach you to activate your existing network and make new professional friends in an easy, low-pressure way. That way, when interview time comes, you’ve got friends on the inside at your target companies.
Even people who hate networking love this part.
You will…
- Reconnect with past mentors and champions in a warm and positive way that makes them eager to help you reach your next step
- Learn how to pass the airport test at recruiting events
- Master the magical art of the informational interview so you can get to know target companies and source opportunities without feeling needy
Because it’s not what you know, it’s who knows you.
By the time you’ve completed the second phase of YOMO, you’ll be confidently in touch with your network, creating new connections, and making a strong positive impression on recruiters and company reps you meet.
Phase 3:
Create inspiring targets
The beauty of MBA recruiting is that your next job will be a huge step up from your last job. Your goal is not only to maximize the value of that job (beyond compensation and also in terms of knowledge capital) but also to choose the opportunity that sets you most soundly on the path to your most fulfilling career in the long term.
So basically, get ready to dream big and swing hard!
You will…
- Dive deep into post-MBA jobs and learn how MBA recruiting ACTUALLY works so you can strategize accordingly when you get to campus
- Create your Career Bucket List: that honest set of achievements and impact your heart desires for your career
- Determine your Career Keywords: the industry, role, function, and dealbreakers that will guide your company research efforts
- Design your Career Game Plan: your roadmap to fulfilling your potential for impact and finding joy in your career
- Design your Career Game Plan: your roadmap to fulfilling your potential for impact and finding joy in your career
- As a bonus, you’re invited to join our annual Happy at Work Workshop and reflect even deeper on the components your next job needs to deliver for maximum joy at work

You can’t get where you’re meant to go without a map.
By the time you’re finished with this phase of YOMO, you’ll have profound clarity about what you want next and in the long term of your career – not just in terms of company names and titles, but in terms of what really matters: growth opportunities, impact, fulfilling tasks, and the kinds of people you want by your side.
You’ll get:
- Your Career Wish List and Career Keywords Template to home in on your short- and long-term ambitions
- Our Career Game Plan Workbook to strategically plan the rest of your career
- Our Complete Crash Course in MBA Jobs and Recruiting so you don’t get dazzled by the options or bamboozled by the pace of recruiting when the time comes
Phase 4:
Stand out (in a good way)

Phase 4 is where the rubber meets the road. We’re taking all the self-awareness you’ve developed about what you want and who you are and channeling that into brilliant communication that will make you stand out against your competitors like a unicorn in the black forest!!
Communication is your key to success from now on, so let’s master some new skills.
You will…
- Create awesome cover letters that actually enhance your candidacy instead of landing in the circular file
- Research a company in 30 minutes flat, so you can confidently decide if it’s a fit for you while also laying the groundwork for your future interviews
- Deep dive into transferable skills to identify your qualifications, even when they don’t initially seem obvious
- Size yourself up against a job and get ready to impress firms with your fit, even for roles where you are less qualified
- Upgrade all your professional communications: refresh your LinkedIn profile, rock your MBA resume, and learn how to walk anyone through your resume in a way that inspires
All along the journey
Throughout the entire program, from beginning to end, you will be reactivating your network with thank-you notes, creating new connections through informational interviews, and conducting efficient company research so that when you get to campus you are about 35 legs up over your classmates. You’ve already taken your destiny into your own hands.
Even better, you can share the journey (and the challenges) with your fellow YOMOS.
You will:
- Send thank-you notes weekly to mentors and champions in your network
- Conduct two informational interviews a week and share your reports, gaining access to all of your classmates’ (and all past YOMO students’) informational interview reports
- Research companies using our efficient template and share your reports (again), gaining access to all the research of YOMOs who have come before you

Still trying to decide if this program is for you?

Does this sound like you?
You spent countless hours studying for the GMAT, planning and perfecting your essays, nitpicking the heck out of your resume, corralling your busy recommenders, sweating through one or more challenging MBA interviews, and you finally emerged… victorious!!!
You got into one of your top choice MBA programs!
But now you’re starting to turn your eyes toward the mystifying vortex of post-MBA recruiting, scratching your head and wondering…

What do I do now?
If you’re like most rising MBAs, you’re beginning to feel that pressure to get the internship and/or post-MBA job that will justify the massive investment you’re making in your MBA.
Do you feel just a little confused, nervous, or overwhelmed? Big Yikes. But, we hear you.
You are not alone!

We’re here to help
One thing nobody tells you about MBA admissions is that getting in is actually the easy part.
No matter how hard you worked studying for the GMAT, crafting your materials, coaching recommenders, and prepping for interviews… it was child’s play compared to MBA recruiting.
How’s that? Think about it. You beat out a lot of competitors to get into the school of your choice.
Now, to get out of it, you’re going to be competing ONLY with other people who also won the admissions competition.
One of the bonuses of getting into a great school is the amazing network of friends and colleagues you’ll build with your extraordinary classmates.
But it’s also what makes recruiting such a beatdown.
Most of our clients report that Impostor Syndrome peaks during business school, but that’s not the biggest concern when it comes to MBA recruiting…

Post-MBA recruiting provides unprecedented, once in a lifetime
access to jobs.
We’re talking companies and positions that you could never secure without the access your MBA provides.
The significance of this opportunity doubles for any international students who want to work in the U.S. post MBA.
If you want to work in one of the handful of jobs that you can only access from an MBA program, you have to make these moments count. You’ll never have the same chance again.
But even if you don’t want one of those elite jobs…

The first job you get out of business school establishes the floor of the rest of your career.
The more money you’re offered and the stronger that post-MBA job foundation is, the further you’ll go and the more you’ll earn over the lifetime of your career.
Make no mistake, your post-MBA job is a greater determinant of your long-term career success than the brand of your MBA.

Recruiting starts FAST!
It’s a long-cherished myth that the MBA gives you a break from work, time to explore different options, and a chance to figure out what you really want to do.
The unfortunate reality that broadsides most MBAs is that recruiting starts almost immediately.
That’s right. In many top MBA programs, you will be networking with recruiters from day one.
Even at the schools that delay recruiter access, you’ll only have 6-7 weeks to get situated as a student before the floodgates open and you’re expected to present a confident and polished picture of who you are and what you want.
But here’s the good news: Now that you know recruiting is coming at you faster than you can say Boston Consulting Group, you can prepare yourself to make the most of it!!

We’re here to help you make it count because You ONLY MBA Once!
Year after year, we watched our amazing clients work so hard to get into great schools only to end up in jobs they didn’t love post-MBA.
After both we and they had poured so much sweat, love, and tears into their applications, it was heartbreaking to see them fail to get the lift-off they wanted on the other side.
Since career coaching is in our DNA at Career Protocol, we knew we had to do something about it.
And so YOMO was born, to help rising MBAs everywhere.

Join the YOMO MBA Recruiting Protocol
The YOMO MBA Recruiting Protocol gives you the skills and confidence to pursue the MBA internship or full-time job of your dreams. You’ll have a competitive advantage in recruiting from this moment forward.
What if I told you at the end of this program you would have…

Confidence in who you are and the value you offer employers

Clarity about what you really want for your internship and post-MBA jobs

The executive communication tools to differentiate yourself

Strong relationships to support you in your quest
Wouldn’t you be like…?

You might actually be able to relax and enjoy the first year of your MBA instead of going to the dark place… (you know, that constant state of freakout and paralysis).
Well, guess what?
YOMO will revolutionize your career

The YOMO MBA Recruiting Protocol gives you a comprehensive recruiting system that you can use to create a career you truly LOVE.
It will help you target and achieve an MBA internship and full-time job that you actually want: one that will meet your needs, challenge you to grow, and allow you to have the impact you want to have.
What’s more, it will give you a repeatable process to utilize throughout your career. (Most MBAs uplevel themselves by changing jobs 3 or more times in their first 10 years.)
With YOMO, you’ll always have the confidence to conduct a networked job search and leverage your relationships to get the next opportunity you want.
Here’s what some of our students have to say:

“The YOMO program helped me to crystallize what I want from my career and articulate it incredibly well…. I found the self-reflection and self-development exercises (which are incredibly well-designed and curated) particularly insightful in the context of the group coaching sessions.”
Harvard Business School Student

“An absolute must for anyone beginning their MBA journey. This course breaks the MBA experience into digestible pieces and gives you the tools you need to successfully navigate any program. I greatly appreciated the voice of calm and reason.”
Yale School of Management Student

“YOMO taught me how to figure out my focus for MBA recruiting and how to network in a practical and intentional way. As a result of YOMO, I feel confident in navigating the recruiting process with more joy and less overwhelm.”
WashU Olin Business School Student

Success stories!

Currently, in my first year at HBS, I enrolled in her YOMO course the summer before school started. It dramatically changed (for the better!) the way I approached networking and searching for opportunities in my target industry.
I’ve leveraged Angela’s techniques to develop more meaningful professional relationships and gain access to new resources... I can absolutely say that Angela’s guidance – both on paper and in conversations – helped me to land my dream internship for the summer. I spoke to her shortly after accepting the offer to share the good news, and even got a little cherry-on-top advice for the road!"

I decided to take YOMO from Career Protocol because, as a potential career switcher I did not know where to start and I thought the summer was a good time to get prepared for the recruiting process. I got much more than I asked for!
Through a structured set of videos, assignments and most importantly, direct coaching with Angela, the course helps you discover and analyze your passions and interests, and fix/improve/or totally rework the basic tools you’ll need to do this... It may sound cheesy but personally, the self-reflection part about my past and future is what I found most valuable. I feel this has helped me home in on my future career path. I find that invaluable as I feel more focused and prepared to start my Stanford MBA journey.”
Still on the fence?
If you read any of the following and think, “Yes! This is ME,” then YOMO is perfect for you:
You need to make your post-MBA job pivot count.
If you’re headed to business school to alter the course of your career, you know that the post-MBA recruiting job market is your very best chance to set your career on the course that will maximize your future earning potential, impact, and joy. If you’re willing to do the work now to go after what you want, this program will give you the tools to source and earn the best job for you post-MBA.
You’ve struggled in the past to make a job change, encountered unexpected road blocks, and/or settled for something less than you wanted.
Taking control of your career destiny alone can be difficult. What you need is a mentor (or a few!) who can show you exactly how to approach a job search with enthusiasm, confidence, and all the right tools. Angela, the Career Protocol Team, and YOMO are your best next step.
You’re changing industries, functions, or geographies (or more than one of those) in your post-MBA job.
If you’re changing cultures and leaving behind a lot of what you’ve learned so far in your career for a new industry, function, or geography, then the onus is on you (more than anyone) to convey the value you can bring in a language your new colleagues, companies, and communities will understand. These executive communication lessons are woven throughout every single mission of YOMO.
You have a big vision for impact or success in your career and you’re not quite sure how to actualize it.
If you’ve ever wondered how you are going become the person you are meant to be through your career, your wondering days are over. The YOMO MBA Recruiting Protocol will teach you The Career Protocol: the set of macroskills that differentiate top performers from everyone else. In addition to helping you create your career vision and game plan, this program will give you the tools to pursue that vision with confidence.
You want to stop living in fear of layoffs or visa constraints and chart your own course to success despite market factors.
There are no guarantees in this world, and bad things happen without warning. But even if you aren’t subject to a bad news event in your career, you will still be seeking to upgrade your career every few years. That is par for the course for post-MBA life. Future-proof your career by building the skills of active career management and effective job searching in this program.
This program might NOT be for you if….
Investing in this program would be an extreme financial burden for you and your family.
An MBA is expensive, to be sure. The YOMO investment is less than 1% of what a full-time MBA program will cost you (and about 25% of the price of a single full-time MBA course). If that 1% helps you maximize your return on the MBA itself, then YOMO will pay for itself many times over during your career. Still, be wise about your own financial situation and make only the investments that you can make without creating unnecessary hardship for yourself and your loved ones.
You’re not able to dedicate at least 30 extra hours over the next 6 months to your recruiting process.
30 hours is about all YOMO will take you, and we recommend that you do all the work in the 3 months after you sign up. Hopefully you agree that 10 hours per month is a tiny price to pay to upgrade your career and get the post-MBA job you really want. Some top performers spend 5-10 hours a week growing their network and improving their career prospects in and outside their firms, so we think 10 hours a month as you approach your MBA isn’t even a table stakes investment you should be making in yourself. But if you’re not willing to invest those hours, this program is not the right fit for you.
You’re looking for a program that is information ONLY.
YOMO is an action-based program. We’re not selling information; we’re teaching you new skills, which you need to learn on-the-court live and in action. Networking, communication, and self-awareness can’t be learned in a vacuum. So if you just want information about how recruiting works, this program isn’t the best option for you.
Meet your instructor

Hi, I’m Angela!
I was about 23 years old when I decided my life was going to be all about helping people (including myself) self-actualize and be all they are meant to be. Because that’s how we’re gonna make this planet work for everyone: sharing our gifts, making meaningful connections, and fulfilling our potential and purpose.
It’s also the easiest way to make work more fun. And life is supposed to be fun. So I skilled up.
- I got an MBA from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.
- I learned how to teach (I’ve taught English as a Second Language, GMAT math, LSAT logic, and a bunch of other cool stuff. I’ve been trained to train.)
- I did my apprenticeship in business at The Boston Consulting Group, where I also managed the firm’s Women’s Initiative and worked as a strategic HR at KPMG.
- And I did a deep dive into narrative form, studying screenwriting with some of the industry’s greatest teachers.
I’ve helped thousands of people:
- Identify their passions
- Improve their self-awareness and communication skills
- And increase their confidence
I have advised some of the world’s most important, high-impact, and high potential individuals, and I’ve been called an empathetic philosopher, masterful story coach, expert confidence builder, and even a “Career Guardian Angel.”
You can read more about what people have said about working with me on LinkedIn, Poets&Quants, or Career Protocol.
I put all my best tools into YOMO. I hope you’ll join me!

We begin by chucking your MBA essays out the window. Even if you passionately believe what you wrote in those essays, your option set has changed, and you owe it to yourself to reassess and consider the possibilities with fresh eyes. Greater self-knowledge is our first goal in YOMO.
- Learn the secret 4-part formula for being happy at work
- Discover an inspiring and compelling way to introduce yourself to any recruiter at any company
- Explore your greatest accomplishments and clarify your transferable experiences
- Begin to find mentors everywhere
- Get to know the Course Roadmap

Missions 4, 8, and 10
What matters most to me?
The key to differentiating yourself in any recruiting process is showing self-awareness and values- and trajectory-alignment with the company and role. So in YOMO, we deep dive into your values and career objectives and help you learn to communicate them in the most inspiring way possible.
Home in on your values
- Complete the Explore Your Values Exercise and determine the direction of your long-term career vision
- Learn how to research a company and decide if it’s a fit for you in 30 minutes flat
- Create your Career Wish List and Career Game Plan

Missions 6-7
The foolproof two-step process for getting any job offer
One of the secrets to long-term career success is this: It’s other people (not you) that determine it. Once you graduate from business school and move on to leadership, you will ascend no faster than other people invite you to. So relationship-building is everything. Luckily, that’s a focal point of YOMO.
The 5 macroskills you need to be happy at work
- Understand the importance of relationships and learn how to build meaningful ones with firm representatives
- Develop your informational interview script
- Complete your Success Inventory and lay the groundwork for job interview stories

Missions 9
How do I stand out in a competitive field? (“I’m a nontraditional/career switcher – Help!!”)
Showcasing transferable skills is a simple science that you will learn in this course. Never again will you be afraid to punch slightly (or way) above your paygrade. You will always have the confidence to show them you’re prepared for the challenge.
The fundamentals of good communication
- Learn how to convey your experiences to any kind of employer so your transferable skills are clear and your candidacy is compelling
- Perfect your MBA resume and LinkedIn profile
- Complete your Career Bucket List
- Learn how to walk anyone through your resume in an inspiring way and pass the airport test

Missions 12-13
How do I get the job, even when I’m less qualified than other candidates?
Underrepresented and non-traditional applicants take note only for roles you’re 80%+ qualified for and start confidently targeting roles with much bigger upsides and steeper learning curves like the old boys do.
Make your strengths REALLY shine
- Learn how MBA recruiting really works, and get a jumpstart on the things that will drive actual results
- Learn how to size yourself up against a job description, assessing your strengths and experience gaps
- Identify your transferable experiences and skills even when they aren’t initially obvious
- Decide once and for all: Yes consulting, or no consulting?
- Learn how to use demonstrated passion to address weaknesses in jobs where you are making a sizable career switch
- Complete the crash course in MBA jobs and develop your full Career Game Plan

Missions 15
How do I keep an open mind about all the options without freaking out?
The goal of YOMO isn’t to make final decisions before you get to campus. It’s to get you ready to proactively and powerfully make choices in real-time. We end the program with final tips for the road so you can flourish when recruiting actually starts.
Your decision framework
- Create your Decision Framework so you can filter internships and post-MBA jobs based on your values, constraints, and what you really want from your next step
- Build your 90-Day Plan: the activities, clubs, classes, and experiences you will prioritize in your first term to prepare for your summer internship interviews
- Graduate!
Throughout the course
Develop your network with expert guidance
- Conduct research on 10 or more target companies so you can speak intelligently to recruiters from Day 1
- Build relationships with multiple companies and meet friends on the inside, so you can get that interview invite
- Share your research with classmates and benefit from their research, too

YOMO FAQ
Of course not!! You have to do the work!! If you go through all the work of the YOMO class, you’ll be in the best shape possible to get one of the post-MBA jobs you want. But we can’t make any promises that you’ll land a certain job. Ultimately, the decision to hire you is up to the recruiters at your target companies. Since we don’t have any magic spells to cast in your favor, we can’t guarantee specific results.
This class is designed to fit into your life, even if you’re traveling the world pre-MBA! In Session 1, you’ll get a Course Roadmap that breaks your homework down into week-by-week assignments with associated time estimates. 40-50 total hours should do the trick.
Each mission is a little different and requires somewhere between 3 and 7 hours to complete all homework. Remember, you are advancing your recruiting process during the class! It’s not just theory. Is your career satisfaction worth an hour (or less) per day for the next 2 months? I hope so!!
Don’t worry! We record everything and share it in the Learning Center. Within a few hours of each session, you’ll be able to watch it on-demand. You can always ask questions in the online YOMO Community Group as well.
Your access to the YOMO MBA Recruiting Protocol will continue for a year after you sign up. If you wish to extend your access, including your membership in the Emerald Circle with group coaching, office hours, and community huddles, you can join as an alumni member for a nominal annual fee.
Heck yes! The best time to start taking your career destiny into your own hands is one year ago. The second-best time is today. Let’s do this!
Well, Angela went to Booth, which is reputed to have the best career services department in the MBA world. She was also a recruiter at BCG, evaluating top talent at the world’s very best MBA programs. And she developed this course as a response to what MBAs need despite the resources career services provides. A lot of our YOMO alums are HBS and Stanford and you-name-it top MBA program graduates. So while we would never say someone needs YOMO, you can most definitely benefit and it will almost certainly give you a leg up on your peers.
Yes! You will benefit most of all because you will have to do more heavy lifting yourself to source the job opportunity you want next. The skills you build in YOMO will compensate for what your school doesn’t and can’t provide by way of career coaching and soft skill development.
Not yet. Though you will almost certainly want to complete YOMO before you start your MBA, this program will not help with the main aspects of the MBA application that you need to master to gain acceptance to a program. Get in first, then do YOMO! If you’d like to work with Career Protocol to get into your favorite MBA schools, check out our MBA application services.
OMG no!! You need to reframe the way you think about money, my friend!! You are investing two whole years of your life (and you know time is WAY more valuable than money) PLUS all the cash you’re laying out or borrowing for the MBA itself. A single MBA class at most schools costs upwards of $7,000. This is a FRACTION of that!! And it helps you really maximize the value of that much bigger investment.
If you bought a house, wouldn’t you invest a little extra money to secure the foundation – especially if it was shaky? It’s a no-brainer!!! We know YOMO is a teeny tiny price to pay to make the most of your career pivot, and you will too once you take the class. One-to-one coaching on these concepts would cost over $10,000.
But there’s also a key reason it costs what it does. We’re building a community here. Your YOMO classmates are going to share resources with you and expect you to do the same. That means you have to be engaged. You’ll be inspired to sign up for this class because it’s awesome, but you’re a busy person. If you pay just a little for it, you’ll be tempted to set it aside and get to it later. And then you won’t get the full benefit of the class, and your classmates won’t get to benefit from your participation. So, we decided that setting a price that’s affordable but not negligible was the right solution.
Yes.
I bet you say that to everyone.
Yes we do! But it’s because we really believe in it. We’re not in this business for the money – we’re here to make a difference. YOMO makes a difference. Students worldwide have made the most of their MBAs thanks to it, and we want that for you, too.
Well, here’s how to know if it’s NOT for you:
- You hated the stuff you’ve read and heard on our website, YouTube channel, and webinars, and you feel like it would just suck to keep getting information from Angela and hearing her voice
- You already have your post-MBA job lined up and don’t want to develop job-search skills to use somewhere else down the line in your career
- You’re a millionaire and you don’t care what you do post-MBA
If any of those statements are true for you, then this course is probably not for you. If you don’t fall into any of those three categories, you will get value out of this class.
