Your Job Search Is Failing Because of These Common Mistakes

You’ve applied to countless jobs, maybe even gotten a few interviews, but the offers just aren’t coming through. It’s frustrating, and it can start to feel like you’re up against impossible odds. But here’s the thing: you might have more control over these outcomes than you think.

In today’s video, I’m breaking down how to take charge of your job search, use rejections as a growth tool, and make strategic changes that can set you apart from the competition. I’ll be covering everything from handling the emotional side of rejection to practical steps for refining your resume, leveraging networking, and turning interview feedback into action.

🦫 About me
I am an Applied Scientist (basically, a blend of Data Scientist/Machine Learning Engineer) at Twitch/Amazon. Outside of my full-time job I'm a technical mentor at a machine learning bootcamp, and a 1:1 career coach for people looking to break into the field, with a focus on those from non-traditional backgrounds.

I’m also a Certified Personal Trainer, always busy with too many interests, and really, deeply happy with my life. I hope to be able to help others achieve these things, too.
