This is not the same old success story you've heard before. It's the truth about what it really takes to get GOOD job offers in this current, crazy job market.

I'm joined by Jaz Marfo, who's sharing how she landed her new non-technical role in the tech industry & navigated the hardships to seal the deal in 6 weeks (including some window shopping before hand).

We're not focused on the win. We focus on the good, the bad, the ugly & the reality of what the 2026 job market has become and how you beat it.

In this episode:

  • What Jaz did & didn't do to get her job offer
  • Outdated advice you should let go of
  • Why Quality is still better than Quantity even in a crap market
  • How to still use rejections even without feedback
  • Why you shouldn't take any of your search personally
  • LinkedIn Easy Apply... worth it or not?
  • Does networking actually increase your chances?
  • Advice for anyone who's been looking for 6+ months with zero success

No sugar coating just what's actually working right now.
