Job Placement Guarantee
Complete the program. Follow the system. Get the job. If you don't — we refund your tuition.
Applies to Career-Bond Preferred non-healthcare programs only.
The Promise
Career Bond guarantees that if you complete an eligible Career-Bond Preferred program, follow our coaching system, and actively execute the job search process — you will receive a qualifying job offer in your field. If you do not, Career Bond will refund your tuition in full.
This is not a marketing promise. It is a commitment with clearly defined conditions. The conditions below are not fine print — they are the system. Do the work, get the job.
Here's exactly what this guarantee covers — and what it doesn't.
The guarantee is simple: follow the system we give you, do it consistently for six months following your certification, and you will get a job offer in your field. That's not a marketing line — it's a contractual commitment backed by a full refund if we're wrong.
But "follow the system" means follow the system. Apply to 10 jobs a week. Send 10 outreach messages a week. Show up to your coaching sessions. Rebuild your LinkedIn the way we teach you. Log your activity. Do this every week, for six months. If you do all of that and still don't get an offer — that's on us. We'll refund your full paid tuition.
What's not covered: changing your mind halfway through, going through the motions, or expecting results while skipping the work. Miss sessions without notice, apply to 3 jobs instead of 10, stop logging activity, or quit — and the guarantee doesn't apply. Not because we're looking for loopholes. Because those actions mean the system wasn't actually followed.
This isn't a "try it and get a refund" policy. It's a performance contract. We perform our part — world-class training, industry certifications, and hyper-personalized coaching. You perform your part — showing up, doing the work, and executing the search. Both parties have to deliver.
If you're willing to put in the work, we'll guarantee the outcome. That's the deal. If you're looking for someone to do it for you, or a safety net for quitting — this program isn't the right fit. And that's okay.
— Darius Goldman, Founder, Career Bond
The 10 conditions below define exactly what "following the system" looks like.
