You applied for a role you could do on your worst day. Nothing. The second round went well. Then silence. A recruiter called about a job two levels below what you already do.
Nobody ever told you why. So you came up with a reason. This MasterClass is about whether that reason is true.
Is this for me?
Senior professionals carrying more than their title says
This is for you if
- 01
You're employed and quietly outgrowing your title, and the organization hasn't caught up.
- 02
You're applying and hearing nothing for roles you're clearly qualified for.
- 03
You're reaching interviews and losing momentum around the second or final round.
- 04
You've already fixed the resume or LinkedIn and nothing changed.
This isn't for you if
You're early in your career or a recent graduate.
Your title already matches the scope you carry.
You want resume templates or quick formatting tips.
You want someone to run the search for you.
The 5 signals
Individually minor. Together, they size you.
- 01
Your headline
Does it claim your scope, or repeat your title?
- 02
Title translation
How your title reads outside the company that gave it to you.
- 03
Search language
Whether you appear when a recruiter types the words for your scope.
- 04
Compensation anchor
The number that follows you from an old title into every new conversation.
- 05
Level in the room
How your answers signal the level you're operating at, or don't.
The cost of waiting
Waiting feels free. Run the number.
Nothing dramatic happens when you wait. The read keeps running, and the gap keeps compounding. Choose your situation and enter your own numbers.
The cost of waiting never shows up on a statement. That's why it feels free.
Waiting 6 months costs you
$10,000
- Every month
- $1,667
- Every day
- $55
- Over 5 years, if the anchor never resets
- $106,183
Your raises are a percentage of the wrong base, so the gap rides along with every one of them.
In the MasterClass, you'll see which of the 5 signals is most likely behind that number.

What you'll walk away with
A clearer line between what you know and what you've been guessing
- Your Signal Page: a one-page workbook you fill in live, with your own scores on all 5 signals.
- Why silence is poor feedback, and what may have been happening on the other side.
- Why good work can change nothing: the order-of-operations problem behind fixing the wrong thing accurately.
- Where your own view stops, and why a reasonable guess is still a guess until something verifies it.
- A path to verify it: the free Signal Preview, demoed live so you know exactly what it reads.
"I decided who got read for 25 years. Then I was laid off twice and couldn't get read myself."
Your host
Sylvia Correa
Founder, QuillWorx
Sylvia spent 25 years on the recruiting side, running searches, interpreting titles and sitting in the conversations where a candidate's level could be decided before that person knew the conversation had happened.
Today she runs QuillWorx, a recruiting-intelligence and career-positioning firm, and writes The Hiring Room. Her work does one thing: it diagnoses the gap between the scope someone carries and the level the market reads, then corrects it in the right order.
What happened for clients
Nothing about their capability changed. The read did.
Offer within 3 weeks
After 3 months of no responses, the read was corrected. An offer followed within 3 weeks.
$75,000 increase
A founder returning to corporate. Multiple offers within 1 month, at a Corporate Director level.
Calls at the right level
Outreach moved from below-level roles to trajectory-aligned conversations, some in new industries.
"I was contacted by six different companies within a matter of weeks. Within three months, I had received two job offers."
"I went from wondering if the market was done with me to choosing between conversations."
"I immediately noticed an uptick in callbacks and interview requests, and even had some recruiters reach out proactively via InMail."
Quotes from LinkedIn recommendations. Individual results. Not typical or guaranteed. Shared to show what happened for these clients, not what you should expect.
FAQ
Before you register
Is it really free?
Yes. It's a free 60-minute class. At the end, I'll share how to work with me if you want help verifying and correcting your read. There's no obligation.
Is this a resume or LinkedIn workshop?
No. It's about which signal is actually constraining you, so you stop fixing the wrong thing accurately.
I'm not job hunting. Is this still for me?
Yes, maybe especially. The read keeps running inside your company: promotion talks, title comparisons, the number. Correcting from stability is a different game than correcting under pressure.
What happens after I register?
Zoom emails your personal join link right away. You'll get a reminder the day before, one the morning of, and one an hour before we start. Bring the one-page Signal Page we'll fill in together. The link is in your reminder emails.
Can't make it live?
Register anyway. The replay is available until Sunday, November 22 at 11:59 PM PT. The live Signal Preview demo, the Q&A and the live-only offer only happen in the room.
What do I need?
Zoom (app or browser) and something to write on. We fill in a one-page Signal Page together.
