Right Roadmap + Right Relationships = Career Security + Career Success
Career security seems elusive these days. And getting to career success isn't what it used to be: go to the right school, study the right subject, get and stay on the right track.

- Worried about losing your job or getting stuck?
Too bad the economy doesn't have a heart.

And that's just why UpMo exists—to give YOU control over your career even in—and despite—difficult times. See what it's all about today by joining the UpMo community and managing your career for success.

For Individuals:
Why plunk down your hard-earned dollars at UpMo?
UpMo is the only career GPS on the planet; the only career navigation system that makes your path to success simple and clear, today and tomorrow. Plus:
- UpMo makes a REAL difference in your career outcome . Forget superficial career assessments that say you should be an engineer, artist or doctor. Instead, set your sights on the career of someone you respect and admire, and, then, week by week, day by day, accelerate and steer toward that goal. Unexpected stops or detours? No problem. UpMo helps you navigate safely through life and career detours, too.
- See how real people, career winners, traveled the road to elite careers. Then follow their paths, avoiding common potholes, to your destination. You won't find media-washed fairy tales here. Instead, get the intimate details of how real people—successful professionals at the top of their games—got to where they are so you can follow.
- Visualize the impact of life and career moves—before you make them. Test how various life events and career moves will ultimately impact your career intentions and timeline. Should you take a year off to have children or to pursue that MBA? UpMo helps you make important career and life moves with confidence.
- Enjoy the security of the most effective career safety net-your network! Don't feel lost when life throws you a curve or when unplanned career changes happen; instead, build a powerful, professional network and Career Roadmap that give you something to hold onto, something solid and real, to keep you on track regardless of your life situation and no matter where your journey takes you.
- Build a networking habit that works for YOU. Get the most important skill you need to improve your knowledge and insight while in your current job and to increase your mobility between opportunities. Plus, get a networking habit that works FOR YOU and YOUR ROLE—not everyone is outgoing or craves evening networking parties, and how you network differs depending on your role. Live a networking habit specifically designed for your personality and style, for your career stage, and based on the practices of the most successful people in your industry.
- Get a network that anchors you in troubled times, a network that finally ... works! Your network can be more than a curiosity or eye candy—much more. Your network can actually be your anchor in troubled times. That's why, in addition to giving you the tools, habits and disciplines you need to stay on course, UpMo helps you build, serve and tap into existing professional networks—whether on LinkedIn, Xing, Facebook, Spoke or anywhere else. UpMo makes your network—work!
I recently went through a job search using only people in my network for introductions. It took me 90 days to secure my next job—that's quick for the VP level, compared with a colleague whose search took six months. My network clearly took me to the assignment. The match was quicker, more personal and it saved me time.
