In today’s episode of BEHIND THE OFFER, we’re digging into a question that could completely shift how you approach your job search: Are you following someone else’s job search strategy? So many job seekers are stuck using generic tactics that worked for others but not necessarily for them.

We’ll talk about:

1. Application Stage: How to move from applying to actually getting interviews.
2. Engagement Stage: Why you’re getting interviews but not advancing to the next round.

Key takeaway: Diagnose before you strategize. I’ll show you how to stop adding more tactics to your to-do list and instead focus on triaging the real issue in your job search.
