The career system is broken

The career system is broken

Resumes are meaningless. Career ladders collapsed.
And somehow you're supposed to 'network' your way through it all.

The system monetizes your desperation, and no one has your career interests in mind.

The questions are simple:

The questions are simple:

How do I communicate my value?

What are my relevant strengths?

Which experiences matter?

How do I navigate transitions?

How do I articulate my value?

What are my actual strengths?

How do I articulate my value?

What are my actual strengths?

The answers can be frustratingly hidden.

We've asked ourselves these questions. A lot.


We're Vrijen and Logan. Before co-founding Careerspan, we were each other's career coaches — helping one another identify and communicate what made us valuable. We started this company to scale that same kind of help.

In a world of noise, only those
who can articulate their unique
value will cut through.

We're Vrijen and Logan. Before
co-founding Careerspan, we
were each other's career
coaches — helping one another identify and articulate what made
us uniquely valuable.

Here's what 2.5 years of building
has taught us: the market is
drowning in sameness.
Identical resumes. Generic LinkedIn
profiles. AI-generated cover letters. Everyone sounds the same because no one knows what makes them
different.

The brutal truth: having skills isn't

enough anymore. You need
to signal them in a way that cuts
through the noise.

But people are terrible at
identifying their own uniqueness.
They can't see their
differentiators. They don't
recognize their own patterns of
excellence. They miss the very thing that would make them stand out.

That's the gap we're filling
helping people discover and
articulate what makes them irreplaceable in a world where
we're all at risk of being replaced.

What We're Building

An AI that actually knows your career story not just your resume bullets.

We're building the intelligence layer between you and opportunity. Our conversational AI discovers the value you can't see in yourself, captures the stories you forget to tell, and helps you articulate why you matter in a world drowning in sameness.

This isn't career coaching. It's career intelligence that compounds over time.

Because in a market full of noise, only those who can signal their unique value will break through.

Vrijen, Co-founder

Careerspan lets you see what’s possible beyond what’s on paper.”

Looking Forward

The traditional career is dead. What's emerging is far more interesting:

  • Portfolio careers spanning multiple domains

  • Continuous pivots as the new stability

  • Human-AI collaboration as table stakes

  • Value creation over credential collection

But here's the thing: none of this works if you can't articulate your evolving story.

The future belongs to those who can explain their weird career path as a strategic advantage. Who can connect disparate experiences into a compelling narrative. Who can signal their value above the noise.

We're building for that future — where your ability to see and communicate your unique worth determines everything.
