EP 3087 That devastating rejection email leaves everyone with one burning, haunting question: Where did it all go wrong? Stop replaying the interview or second-guessing every bullet point on your resume, because this deep dive promises a more realistic and frankly, more freeing answer. We pull back the curtain on the unseen reality of hiring decisions, exploring how the final call often happens behind closed doors, driven by specific, random, and subjective factors you could never have prepared for. Learn why your objective value, skills, and accomplishments may have been completely ignored in favor of a personal call, a gut feeling, or even an unintended bias, and how recognizing this fundamental disconnect is the key to escaping the cycle of self-doubt and moving past the emotional aftermath of feeling stranded. Tune in to uncover the actual reason you didn't get the job, allowing you to stop staring at the closed door and finally look toward your next horizon.ABOUT JEFF ALTMAN, THE BIG GAME HUNTERPeople hire Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter to provide No BS job search coaching and career advice globally because he makes job search and succeeding in your career easier. Schedule a discovery call to speak with me about one-on-one or group coaching during your job search at ⁠www.TheBigGameHunter.us. You will also find great info and job search coaching to help with your job search at ⁠⁠JobSearch.Community⁠⁠ You can get free copies of 25 Interview Questions and Answers, How to Craft a Compelling Elevator Pitch in 20 Seconds or Less, Get Ready for the Job Jungle, Diagnosing Your Job Search Problems, No BS Resume Advice, and Prove Your Worth First, Then Negotiate.

EP 3081 If you are a senior leader aiming for your next major move, forget the job boards—that strategy is "just plain wrong" for C-suite positions. This episode unveils the real playbook: how executive roles are filled in the "invisible trust economy". This marketplace runs entirely behind the scenes, powered by human connection, private conversations, and warm introductions based on reputation and pre-existing credibility. The key to accessing this market requires a fundamental mindset shift. You must stop thinking of yourself as a candidate looking for a job and start acting like a peer or equal who is exploring opportunities and offering value. Learn the specific, strategic outreach method: re-engage trusted contacts—former bosses, board members, peers—and use the powerful phrase, "I'd value your perspective as I think about my next chapter". By making the conversation about valuing their wisdom, you foster genuine reconnection, and opportunities start to follow naturally, unlocking the invisible market.ABOUT JEFF ALTMAN, THE BIG GAME HUNTERPeople hire Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter to provide No BS job search coaching and career advice globally because he makes job search and succeeding in your career easier. Schedule a discovery call to speak with me about one-on-one or group coaching during your job search at ⁠www.TheBigGameHunter.us. You will also find great info and job search coaching to help with your job search at ⁠⁠JobSearch.Community⁠⁠ You can get free copies of 25 Interview Questions and Answers, How to Craft a Compelling Elevator Pitch in 20 Seconds or Less, Get Ready for the Job Jungle, Diagnosing Your Job Search Problems, No BS Resume Advice, and Prove Your Worth First, Then Negotiate.

EP 3080 Have you ever sent your resume into an employment agency only to be met with frustrating silence? That feeling of being ghosted by recruiters is real and demoralizing, leading many job hunters to wonder if these agencies are even legitimate. This episode delivers the "aha moment" that changes everything: the core misunderstanding is that agencies work for you. In reality, an agency is paid a hefty fee by the employer to fill a specific job, meaning the employer is the client, and you are the product. This financial reality explains the cold, hard business calculation behind the ghosting—recruiters cannot afford to waste time on candidates who are not a dead-on match for their client's needs right now (e.g., a Project Manager resume tossed when they need a Senior Java Developer). Understanding this truth is your new superpower. Learn the new strategic playbook: how to make your resume an undeniable match, stop taking silence personally, and interact with recruiters in a way that dramatically increases your chances of getting a response. This is about being smart and effective, using recruiters as one tool in your comprehensive job search toolbox.ABOUT JEFF ALTMAN, THE BIG GAME HUNTERPeople hire Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter to provide No BS job search coaching and career advice globally because he makes job search and succeeding in your career easier. Schedule a discovery call to speak with me about one-on-one or group coaching during your job search at ⁠www.TheBigGameHunter.us. You will also find great info and job search coaching to help with your job search at ⁠⁠JobSearch.Community⁠⁠ You can get free copies of 25 Interview Questions and Answers, How to Craft a Compelling Elevator Pitch in 20 Seconds or Less, Get Ready for the Job Jungle, Diagnosing Your Job Search Problems, No BS Resume Advice, and Prove Your Worth First, Then Negotiate.
