linkedin.com/in/jimdicsoHi, I'm Jim. I've spent my career building and leading sales organizations — and hiring the people who run them. Over 35 years I've hired thousands of people and interviewed ten times that many. The candidates I remember aren't the ones who wanted the job the most. They're the ones who showed up knowing exactly what the next chapter of their career needed to look like — and treated our conversation as a mutual evaluation, not an audition.
Why I created this application
After 35 years of hiring and interviewing, a pattern became impossible to ignore. The most successful candidates — the ones who thrived after they started, not just the ones who landed the offer — all did a handful of things differently:
- They were focused on finding the best fit for the next chapter of their career — not on interviewing to 'get the job.'
- They had a clear understanding of the criteria that defined that next chapter.
- They interviewed me as much as I was interviewing them, and they came prepared with insightful questions to evaluate whether my company and the role fit their criteria.
- They answered performance questions with specific KPIs instead of general ranges.
- The story of their career fit with the numbers in a logical fashion.
I've been asked hundreds of times to give career advice, and my advice always follows the same framework: define your criteria for the next chapter, then evaluate every company and role against them like an investor evaluates an investment. Invariably I hear something along the lines of, "this helped me rethink my career and the interview process."
So I built NextTurn to scale that coaching. It walks you through the same process I've walked friends and colleagues through for years — and it generates some passive income as a byproduct, which I'm completely comfortable with.
If you're weighing your next move, do what the best candidates do: know your criteria, demand the evidence, and interview the company right back.
