Career Design for What Comes Next.
Your experiences already have the answers. We help you find them.
The hardest part isn't finding a job. It's knowing what you're looking for. Does any of this sound familiar?
- Everyone around you seems to have a plan, lined up internships, and a clear direction — and you don't
- You have jobs, classes, and experiences but no idea how to connect them into a coherent story
- You chose a major or took a first job but still have no real clarity about what you actually want
- You know you're capable but can't figure out how to explain what you bring to the table
- You're sending applications or networking but getting little traction and don't know why
- You've gotten plenty of advice — from family, advisors, the internet — but none of it actually fits your situation
These aren't signs you're behind. They're signs you haven't had the right career design support yet. That's what eXperience Works is built for.

We start where most career programs do not.
eXperience Works specializes in career design and career readiness for college students and recent graduates.
Careers rarely follow a straight line. Most people make career decisions by reacting to whatever is in front of them — not by working from a real understanding of who they are and where they want to go. eXperience Works teaches participants to approach their careers as designers: gathering evidence from their own experiences, clarifying what they actually value, exploring more than one possible direction, and testing their thinking before they commit. The result is a career plan built from the inside out — not handed to them from a quiz or a list of job titles.
In their words
Students, graduates, and parents on what changed.
Secured the job he wanted 4 months before graduation!!!
Greg went beyond writing a resume by taking the time to understand my son's strengths, interests, and goals. He helped identify several career paths and assisted in creating tailored resumes for each direction. What impressed me most was the growth in my son's confidence.
As a parent, I'm incredibly grateful for the guidance and support my child received from Greg Lorenz at Experience Works LLC! Greg went beyond writing a resume by taking the time to understand my son's strengths, interests, and goals. Greg helped identify several career paths and assisted in creating tailored resumes for each direction.
What impressed me most was the growth in my son's confidence. Through coaching, he became more comfortable networking, contacting hiring managers, and having professional conversations. The interview preparation was especially valuable and helped him feel more prepared and capable when speaking with potential employers.
I highly recommend Greg to any young adult exploring career options or needing support recognizing their potential.

A clear and organized path to networking and career search.
The resources gave me a clear and organized path to networking and career search that fell back on my core competencies. My initial ventures with resume tailoring, informational interviews, and job applications felt misdirected. With the connection tracker and career accelerator, I was able to maximize my time and effort.
The resources provided through eXperience Works gave me a clear and organized path to networking and career search that fell back on my core competencies. Many of my initial ventures with resume tailoring, informational interviews, and job applications felt misdirected. With the connection tracker and career accelerator, I was able to separate my thoughts in a way that maximized my time and effort. Outside of the tangible resources provided, Greg is a wealth of knowledge that has the best interest of students at heart. I am incredibly grateful for what I have learned and gained throughout this program!
He customized his approach to each of their needs, personalities and interests.
Greg worked with both of my college-age daughters, one a sophomore and the other a senior. He customized his approach to each of their needs, personalities and interests. My younger daughter gained clarity and confidence, and my older daughter is feeling so much more confident and prepared to launch into the world after graduation.
Greg worked with both of my college-age daughters, one a sophomore and the other a senior. He customized his approach to each of their needs, personalities and interests. My younger daughter focused on informational interviewing and career exploration and felt so inspired by their work together. She gained clarity and confidence and developed the tools to serve her over the next several years as she explores her options. My older daughter focused more on narrowing down her field of interest, resume preparation, job-seeking and also informational interviews. Greg's mentorship helped allay many of her anxieties about what the next chapter, post-college, might bring, and gave her the tools to navigate job-hunting. She was able to to take her own initiative based on the foundation their work together had created and she is feeling so much more confident and prepared to launch into the world after graduation.
It helped me feel more confident about taking the next steps in my career.
This program gave me the opportunity to step back and think more intentionally about my career. It helped me better understand my strengths, recognize what motivates me, and feel more confident about next steps.

About
Greg Lorenz, Ph.D.
I earned my doctorate from Colorado State University and have spent over 25 years at the intersection of career readiness, experiential learning, and leadership development. I've taught and advised undergraduate and graduate students across multiple institutions, held senior administrative roles in higher education, and watched thousands of smart, capable students arrive at the same crossroads: unclear about their direction, not because they lacked ability, but because no one gave them a clear process for figuring it out.
My roles have included Dean of Experiential Education, Associate Dean of Academic Affairs, and Director of Career Development at Johnson & Wales University, Director of the Frontline Manager Leadership Program at the University of Denver, and Vice President of the National Society for Experiential Education. Today I serve as Interim Director of the MA in Leadership program at Wartburg College, where I also teach graduate leadership courses. That work keeps me close to how students and young professionals think about their careers right now, and it shapes how I design every eXperience Works program.
This work is built on everything I've learned in those roles, designed to give students something colleges want to offer but rarely have the bandwidth to deliver one-on-one.
My approach starts with one idea: your experiences are the most reliable source of self-knowledge you have, and most people have never been taught how to unlock them. The program gives students a way to do that.
When I'm not working with clients, I'm usually hiking in the Colorado mountains or on the mats training Brazilian jiu jitsu, both places where I've learned that the good stuff is usually just past the point of comfort.
