If the job market feels overwhelming right now, you’re not imagining it.
Layoffs, hundreds of applicants, AI tools everywhere...it’s enough to make you wonder if you’re doing something wrong or if you need to start over.
In this episode, I’m walking you through three opportunities hiding inside today’s competitive job market. We’ll talk about why competition isn’t actually the biggest problem, how to use AI without losing your voice or value, and why applying to fewer roles (more intentionally) leads to better results.
If you’ve been applying, getting little traction, and feeling stuck or discouraged, this episode will help you see what’s really going on, and what to do differently next.
I'll share:
✔︎ Why the job market isn’t the reason you’re stuck
✔︎ How to use AI without sounding generic or replaceable
✔︎ The small shift that makes employers actually notice you
If you want to move your job search forward with more clarity and less second-guessing, this conversation will help you recalibrate.
