If you’re job hunting in the U.S. right now—especially in tech or professional services—you already know the market is competitive. Since early 2023, over 250,000 tech workers have been laid off (Layoffs.fyi), and job boards are overwhelmed with qualified candidates.

It’s not just about being qualified. It’s about being strategic.

🚧 Why Most U.S. Job Searches Fall Flat
📉 You're applying into a black hole.Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) filter out up to 75% of resumes before a human ever sees them (Jobscan). If your resume isn’t optimized, it may never get read.
📅 You’re competing against hundreds.The average corporate job opening receives 250+ applications (Glassdoor). Remote-friendly roles often attract thousands.
🔍 Your LinkedIn profile isn’t working for you.Over 95% of recruiters use LinkedIn to source candidates (Jobvite). Weak keywords and vague summaries make strong candidates invisible.
