Most career advice assumes you’re always climbing — a promotion, a bigger title, a straight line upward. Real careers move sideways, stall, restart, and sometimes need an exit plan more than a growth plan. PerpPortal exists for those situations: the lateral move, the unexplained gap, the reference you can’t ask for, the toxic job you need to leave without burning anything down.
What we cover
- Career Planning — thinking through your next move before you make it
- Cover Letters — specific, situation-based guidance instead of generic templates
- Job Search — outreach, applications, and standing out without sounding desperate
- Resume & CV — formatting and wording that survives both a human reader and an ATS
Who writes this
Chidi Okafor focuses on cover letters, outreach, and career communication — the moments where the right words matter more than the right template.
John Praise focuses on resumes, ATS mechanics, and workplace psychology — testing assumptions (like running a resume through five different ATS platforms) instead of repeating advice no one’s checked.
Together, they write the pieces PerpPortal is built around: practical, specific, and aimed at situations most career blogs skip.
Our approach
We write to be actionable. If an article can’t tell you what to actually do next, we don’t publish it. Where we mention tools or services, we disclose any affiliate relationships (see our Affiliate Disclosure) — our recommendations aren’t influenced by them.
