Everyone Else Is on Vacation. Time to Do the Work.

Why summer is the smartest time to get ready for the fall hiring season, and the July blitz we built to get you there.

Many of our In Women's Health members don't realize something about hiring in women's health until they've missed it. The fall (and January) is when the roles open, and the summer is when you get ready to win them.

It's not a hunch. It's the rhythm of how the industry hires. Budgets reset heading into Q4, and there's a real push to fill seats before the new year, teams spending what they've been allocated, hiring managers filling quotas before they lose the headcount. Managers are coming back from their own summers ready to move. And in our world specifically, fundraising picks back up in the fall. When a round closes, hiring starts almost immediately, and the sharpest companies are lining up candidates before the round even closes.

Which means September is a wave. The question is whether you're standing on the beach watching it, or already positioned to ride it. (Sorry for the pun, just back from the beach last week!)

The people who land the fall roles aren't the ones who start looking in September. They're the ones who spent the summer getting clear, getting found, and getting ready, while everyone else was out of office. Preparation in July is the whole advantage. By the time the roles post, they're not scrambling to write a resume. They're already the person the hiring manager can find.

So we built you a runway

Over the next few weeks, we're running a blitz of free workshops, each one a piece of getting fall-ready. Here's what's coming and why each one matters.

Do Cover Letters Matter in Women's Health? Thursday, July 9. A lot of people will tell you cover letters are dead. They're wrong, they've just changed jobs. A cover letter isn't a formality anymore; done right, it's a disruptive little tool that gets you seen. Come learn how we write cover letters at IWH: repeatable, but never an AI template. The kind that actually gets read.

Building a 10-Step Plan for Your Career in Women's Health. Wednesday, July 15. We went back and looked at the patterns behind 100+ people who've landed women's health roles through IWH over the past few years. They didn't do the same jobs, but they followed the same path. We've turned that path into 10 steps, and in this workshop we bring it to life so you can figure out exactly where you are in each one, and what's next.

IWH July Office Hours (members only). Friday, July 17. For IWH members only, a perk of our Pro Membership: come work in a small group directly with me on your cover letter, or bring any question about your own journey. This is hands-on, real-time, and personal. Bring what you're stuck on.

What It Takes to Negotiate with Payers, and Who Tribunus Health Is Hiring to Do It. Monday, July 20. This one's different, and it's a rare one. Come hear directly from someone with open roles in women's health, about who he's hiring, what he's looking for, and why this work matters. There's no better preparation than hearing what a hiring manager actually wants, straight from the source.

Found by AI: Why Visibility Matters in Your Women's Health Job Search. Thursday, July 23. The game has changed. It's not just your LinkedIn, your resume, your cover letter anymore, it's whether you can be found at all. Come learn our framework for being discoverable. Think of it as SEO, but for your own expertise and accomplishments, so that when an AI agent goes looking for someone like you, it actually surfaces you.

IWH Monthly Women's Health Career Networking. Thursday, July 24. Around 85% of jobs are filled through connections, not applications. Your network isn't a nice-to-have; it's the job search. In these sessions people have met their co-founders, landed fractional roles, and walked away with ideas they didn't come in with. Come meet people in the industry, or people trying to break into it, in small groups. This is how the hidden door opens.

10 Rules for Writing a Resume That Gets You Hired in Women's Health. Tuesday, July 28. Once you're clear and you're findable, your resume has to close the gap and get you the first conversation. We'll walk through the 10 rules that make a women's health resume impossible to ignore, so you walk into fall with materials that actually work.

That's the blitz. Every one of these is free, and every one of them is a piece of the same picture: being ready before the roles open, not after.

And if you want the whole thing, not one workshop at a time but the entire system, built with you over four weeks, that's the IWH Career Mastermind. We start August 3, right as the fall season begins to turn. It's where all of this comes together: your positioning, your visibility, your materials, your plan.

Summer is the quiet before the hiring wave. Let's use it.

See you in the (virtual) classroom. Let's do this!

🤖 Inside the Mastermind

We don't just talk about AI. You build with it.

Hiring managers have a new question: not "have you used AI," but "what have you built with it?" In the Mastermind, you'll build something real. One participant who wanted to work at Evvy built a small product solving her own women's health need, then pulled it up in the interview. That changes the whole conversation.

You'll leave with your own AI job-search strategy and a concrete thing to point to, the kind of proof that gets you remembered.
