If you're like most senior leaders I work with, you're not stuck because you lack experience, but because locking into your next move feels impossibly heavy.

I know that feeling well.

For years, I could lead teams, close deals, and make high-stakes decisions without blinking.

But when it came to my own next step?

– Everything blurred.
– The options multiplied.
– The second-guessing crept in.

And the longer I sat with it, the harder it got to move at all.

You can probably relate:

– You can see multiple lanes.
– You can imagine yourself in all of them.
– You can talk yourself into each one if you're not careful.

But eventually, the weight of all those possibilities starts to work against you.

➝ Your story doesn't point anywhere.
➝ Your positioning feels scattered.
➝ Your confidence nosedives.

And you start asking the real question:

"𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘄?"

Most people assume it's a motivation problem.

It's not.

𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝗮 𝗵𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺.

Because when you're keeping too many options open, nothing really lands.

Once you stop hedging and lock into one clear lane, 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗲𝘀:

➝ Your direction locks in. 
➝ Your positioning becomes clear. 
➝ Your visibility grows in the right spaces. 
➝ Your authority increases with the people who matter.

Small wins start stacking again.

Movement feels normal.

Confidence comes back online.

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗜 𝗱𝗼.

Through 𝗠𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗺 — my 8-week 1:1 career accelerator — I help leaders in transition stop hedging, lock into one clear path, and build visibility and authority where it actually matters.

Here's what you get:

– A structure for clarity, positioning, visibility, and authority
– The accountability and scaffolding that keep you steady
– 1:1 support to reduce friction instead of adding pressure
– A 2nd brain to guide the work between calls (Persona™)

By the time the conversations start, people already understand who you are, what you bring, and where you fit.

And once you lock in?

Momentum becomes the norm.

"There are decades where nothing happens and then there are days where decades happen."

My story begins when I had just $60 in my bank account. I didn't have any savings stashed away. No 401k to fall back on. Just broke and jobless.

That day I went down to Uber in downtown San Francisco and signed up to be a driver. For the next 9 months I drove Uber from 6am-12pm and then job searched from 12pm-5pm every single day.

I didn't land a job for 9 months. It wasn't the bad economy or the ATS, it was because I was doing what everyone else does: Updating my resume over and over again. Messaging people on LinkedIn.  Sending 100 applications a week.

Eventually I decided to do something different. 

I messaged every friend of mine who was a recruiter. Not to ask for a job, but to ask for advice.

I was shocked at what they told me. 

"I only spend 10 seconds reading a resume. How long is your resume? 850 words? That's too long. Cut it down to 450."

After a few weeks of listening to them and applying their advice I started landing interviews & jobs.
That first job search took me 14 months.
The next job search took me 4 months.
The next job search took me 3 weeks.

Sr. Content Marketing Manager

Aurora is the #1 software to design and sell advanced solar systems.

I wasted 3 months of my job search.

I made my resume "perfect." I applied on LinkedIn. I made sure I was qualified.

What I didn't know was that I was actually holding myself back.

After 250 applications and 0 interviews...I stopped.

🤔 I started doing research instead 

Here are the top 5 job search trends that finally unlocked interviews for me:


1️⃣ TIMING > QUALITY
This was a very surprising one. A study found that 90% of candidates who landed interviews had applied within 24-48 hours of the job being posted.

💡I started applying within 24 hours. I landed 2 interviews that week!


2️⃣ LINKEDIN > RESUME
78% of recruiters use LinkedIn to actively recruit and many say they prefer your LinkedIn profile over your resume.

💡I rewrote my LinkedIn profile to tell my full story. My interview rate went up by an additional 2%.


3️⃣ SHORTER RESUMES
Another study found that 350-550 word resumes land the most interviews (even for candidates with 15+ years experience).

💡I reduced my resume to 427 words and...yup you guessed it, more interviews started rolling in!


4️⃣ TITLE MATCH
A study found that the single biggest factor that boosted interview rates (by 10.6x!) was whether the titles on the resume matched the title on the job description.

💡I added a "Target Title" to the top of my resume and matched it exactly to the job. 


5️⃣ WHERE YOU APPLY
Lastly, a study found that where you apply has a huge effect on your interview rate. Reply rates were as follows:
 ↳ Google Jobs 9.3%
 ↳ Glassdoor 7.3%
 ↳ GovermentJobs 6.6%
 ↳ Wellfound 6.4%
 ↳ Indeed 4.7%
 ↳ Welcometothejungle 4.6%
 ↳ LinkedIn 3.3%
 ↳ BuiltIn 2.2%

(shout out to Sam Wright for putting this one together!)

☝ The big takeaway from all this?

How you APPLY is more important than how qualified you are.

The good news?

None of this stuff is hard to do. If you've been struggling to land interviews, try making some of these changes. 

Your next interview may be closer than you think! 😊 



_______
P.S. If you'd like more info on these tactics, I'll be doing a free workshop this week where I do a deep dive. Just give my profile a follow and I'll post the invite here shortly.

P.P.S. Did any of these surprise you? If so which one?
