The sky is falling down! Layoffs, freezes, AI eating jobs for breakfast.
And yeah, it is rough out there. Everyone's getting ghosted x1000, and the “Easy Apply” button is somehow making it less easy for both candidates and recruiters (thanks LinkedIn?).

I spoke with Sandi Conroy and Eric Crawford, two career coaches with decades of experience at companies such as Meta and Google. We cover:
How to make your CV speak human again (and dodge the “no” pile)
Why showing your work beats listing your skills
How to build confidence that doesn’t sound like bravado
And why “the future is fractional” might be the best news you’ll hear this year
If everyone’s still applying on autopilot, all you have to do is take back the controls.
