The biggest mistake job seekers make today? Thinking more applications mean more interviews. That approach is broken and it’s exactly why so many people are getting ghosted. But the top candidates? They’re doing things differently.

In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly what the top 1% of candidates are doing differently to land interviews while everyone else gets ghosted.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

✅ Why relying only on job boards keeps you stuck in a sea of resumes
✅ How generic applications fail ATS filters (and what to do instead)
✅ Why following up strategically makes all the difference
✅ My 3-part Competitive Edge Framework to help you get noticed and land interviews
