What if landing your dream job at a top tech company wasn’t about grinding out dozens of applications or having a “perfect” resume plastered with buzzwords? What if everything you’ve been told about job hunting is actually holding you back?

In today’s episode, I share the real-life story of “Mallory,” a career transitioner who went from total job search burnout (think zero interviews and endless rejections) to signing a coveted offer at Salesforce in just six weeks. I’ll break down the three surprising strategies we used that made all the difference including why you should stop tweaking your resume for every role, what to do instead of mass applying, and the counterintuitive interview prep that actually works (no endless mock interviews required). Plus, I’ll reveal the negotiation moves that put thousands more in her pocket and upgraded her compensation package.

If you're tired of hustling for interviews and ready for a proven, strategic approach that actually cuts through the noise, this episode is your shortcut. You’ll walk away with a game plan that delivers job search relief, confidence, and results even if you’re feeling stuck or coming from a “non-traditional” background. The non-obvious strategies your next big opportunity depends on? They’re just one play away. Press play and find out exactly what you’re missing.
