I got rejected from 80 tech roles.
Then I became the recruiter reading the resumes.
Here is what happened in between.
I had a microbiology degree and no idea how hiring actually worked.
I applied. I got rejected. I applied again.
Eighty times.
I thought I was unqualified.
I was not. I was invisible.
Then someone sat me down and showed me three things.
Rewrite the resume for the role you want. Not the one you had.
Talk to the people who actually touch the hire. Not the job board.
In the interview, answer the question they are asking. Not the one you rehearsed.
That was it. Three changes.
The next offer came.
Years later I was recruiting at Uber, Google, and YouTube. Same resumes. My side of the table.
And most of the people I passed on were not unqualified.
They were saying the wrong things to the wrong people in the wrong order.
Nobody teaches you this.
Someone had to teach me.
Tell me which of the three you are stuck on. I will tell you what to fix first.
