You've spent hours on applications that disappeared into the void. You've second guessed every decision, from whether to include a cover letter to whether you should even apply in the first place.  And at some point the question stopped being "am I doing this right" and became "is any of this even worth it." It is, beautiful. You're just missing some important information that would change the game for you.  Do I Really Need a Cover Letter? We hate cover letters over here (an

You've been consistently applying to roles you're actually qualified for. Unfortunately, the silence on the other end has gone from frustrating to rage inducing. Before you burn everything to the ground or convince yourself that the market is broken (and that there's nothing you can do about it) I need you to understand that the way most people search for jobs is fundamentally flawed . And the fix has nothing to do with sending out more applications on top of the 100+ you’ve

Nobody's career path goes in a straight line anymore. And if yours has a gap, a pivot into a new field, a long stretch at one company that recently ended, or ten years of experience (without the degree to go with it), you know what it feels like to stare at an application and wonder how on earth you're going to explain your career. But I promise, the work history you're worried about isn’t the liability you think it is. What costs people interviews isn't the complicated backg

You've sent out more applications than you can count. You've watched the confirmation email land in your inbox, waited, refreshed, and waited some more without hearing a single thing back. Or worse, getting an immediate response in the form of an auto rejection. So, you tweak the resume again. You change the font. You move a bullet point. You throw it into your favorite AI platform and hope this version is finally the one. But I promise you, it's not the font, it's not that r

"Tell me about yourself" might be the four most hated words in the entire job search process.  Do you tell the interviewer about that time you embarrassed yourself in class and didn’t want to show your face at school for days? Or are they asking about what’s pissed you off on social media this week? This question isn’t there to trick you but so many people email and DM us about this very question that I figured it was high time we make a post about it. Not because you don't k

You did everything right.  The degree(s) and years of late nights. All those extra projects you took on without a title change or an extra dollar in your bank account.  You've shown up consistently for a job that keeps refusing to show up for you. And you know what sucks about all of it? Somewhere between the hundredth application that went nowhere and the annual review where your manager told you that you "meet expectations" (yes, even after you’ve literally carried the enti

How many times in the last month have you been rejected from a job you KNOW you're qualified for? Even better, let's talk about the jobs you skip over and don't even apply for because they're "too good to be true." To be honest, regardless of where you fall between those two thoughts, it all leads to the same feeling … frustration. And somehow we get from frustration to imposter syndrome faster than Beyoncé pre-sale tickets get sold out. The thing is, I don't think the reject

Yes, AI is going to eliminate some jobs. It already has. But the panic-inducing headlines saying "AI will replace 300 million jobs" or "40% of workers will be unemployed by 2030" are designed to get clicks, not give you useful information. I've worked at Google and TikTok, both of which are companies at the forefront of AI development. My team and I have also coached and/or provided resources to over 5,000+ professionals in the midst of their career transitions. So, when I te

Sometimes when I tell people that getting laid off triggers the same grief response as losing a loved one, they think I’m being dramatic.  But psychological research has consistently shown that our brains don’t distinguish between different types of loss. Loss is loss, and your nervous system responds accordingly. Think about it. When you got laid off you lost so much more than just a paycheck (though that's scary enough). You lost your daily routine, your sense of purpose, y

Beloved, I'm gonna hold your hand when I say this because it might make you a little uncomfortable. When you say you have "no experience" for a role, you're lying to yourself. And that lie is costing you thousands of dollars a year. I know this because I've coached over 1,000+ professionals through career transitions, and I hear the same limiting belief every single time we work with someone new. "I don't have experience in this field, so why would anyone hire me?" But not h

If you’ve been a member of our community for literally any length of time, you know I hate cover letters. They’re often used to disqualify applicants before anyone has ever even looked at their resume and tbh I think that’s shady af. But y’all keep asking about how to write them because sometimes job applications require them. So let’s get into the right way to tackle writing one so that you don’t ever write another one that costs you a potential interview.  Because whether y
