Former Feds,
Welcome Home.
Whether you were fired, forked, or furloughed. You’ve got a home here.
Most career advice out there wasn't built for you. It doesn't speak clearance, GS scale, or NDAs. If you're making this transition under stress, on a deadline, or with zero roadmap--you don't have to do it alone.
This 5-week self-paced program will prepare you for the career transition from federal service to corporate leader.
Even if you didn't plan to leave. Let's figure out what's next.
Meet your coach
Cassandra Babilya
I’m a mom, certified career coach, ex-spy, author, and corporate culture leader.
In 2016 I left the CIA, joined the tech world, and never looked back. For the last four years, I’ve helped dozens of federal workers make the hop from public to private sector. For the first time, I’ve put it all together to help you through the toughest career pivot: fed > corporate.
Together, let's find the perspective you need to work, create, and build from a place of joy, not dread.
At the end of five weeks, you’ll
-
Learn how to turn your government career into a private sector asset.
You’ll stop hiding behind titles and start telling a story that actually lands—one that recruiters understand and value (even if your work was sensitive, complex, or classified).
-
You’ll get templates, scripts, and a strategy that feels human.
We’ll show you how to build a network that opens doors, not drains energy. It’s not about begging—it’s about being visible, clear, and intentional.
-
By the end, you’ll have clarity, confidence, and momentum.
This isn’t a webinar. You’ll walk away with a refreshed LinkedIn, a personalized job target list, a recruiter-ready resume, and a plan to move forward—fast.

What former feds are saying about Declassified
“I can't say enough about Cassandra—both as a human and as a coach. After 14 years with the federal government, I fully expected to retire there. When I was terminated, I suddenly had no idea who I was outside of government service or how to make my experience make sense to anyone else.
I joined her very first “Declassified” five-week cohort for former feds, and I started the course feeling completely overwhelmed—by the job market, by applications, by my résumé, and especially by the pressure of translating my federal work into language the rest of the world understands. I wasn’t even sure what roles, industries, or environments I was truly interested in. I was just applying for anything that looked remotely aligned without ever stopping to ask myself, “Where do I actually want to land?”
Cassandra changed that.
Her sessions, questions, and prompts pushed me to dig deeper—sometimes uncomfortably so—but it was exactly what I needed. That reflection created space for clarity. I now know what industries excite me, what I want in an employer, what my value is, and how to articulate it. I know how to network, how to elevate my LinkedIn, and how to prepare for interviews—because, let’s be honest, federal hiring and interviewing is nothing like the rest of the world.
Each week built on the last. By week three, I felt like I finally had solid footing again: a plan, a product, and the confidence to move forward. I understood that the silence and rejections weren’t a reflection of me—they were just part of the process in this really challenging market and economy.
Cassandra, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I could not recommend you more highly to any former fed—whether leaving by choice or by force—who needs guidance navigating this transition. You helped me get my footing back, and that is something I’ll always be grateful for.”

Former Department of StateDeclassified was enormously helpful to me in beginning to understand how to translate my CIA experience to the private sector, how to clarify what I want to do next and articulate how my skills and expertise make me competitive, and how to overhaul my LinkedIn and resume.
Cassandra offered a wealth of expertise; a thoughtful and well-sequenced array of detailed, clear, and actionable resources; and timely and tailored feedback and support along the way. Her candor, authenticity, and humor made the weekly sessions really engaging, and I feel significantly less daunted by the admittedly terrible job search process than I did five weeks ago. Thank you!
