recapping @wesbos tweet about the job search - solo show
with taylor desseyn (solo)
- referrals are now the single biggest way to cut through the noise in hiring, more than mass applying
- if a hiring manager sees you don't use ai tools at all, more companies are starting to skip you
- fundamentals still matter most, but pairing solid fundamentals with ai skills closes the gap fast
- auto-apply tools are flooding companies with applications, which is a big reason you may not hear back
- building a niche personal brand online can let you skip early interview rounds and go straight to senior decision makers
