Episode notes
Identity Often Masks Job-Search Problems
- Job-search stuckness often comes from confusing identity with employment and losing self-connection.
- When disconnected, applications and interviews feel generic and unaligned with your strengths.
Customize Your Resume For One Job
- Tailor your resume to match that singular job instead of using a generic one for many roles.
- Align strengths and tone so interviews feel fluid and authentic.
Panic Applying Backfires
- Frantic mass-applying signals panic, not strategy, and yields low response rates.
- Stepping back to evaluate your approach restores intentionality and improves outcomes.
