Does anyone else feel like they are getting ghosted for roles that are a 100% match? I just got a rejection for a position that literally felt like it was written based on my specific resume. I had the exact industry experience, the software skills, and I live ten minutes away. I was sure I would at least get a screening call, but nope. What are companies even looking for right now?

Same thing is happening to me. AI is used for filters or they had an internal candidate and waste everyone’s time.

Unicorns. Needles in haystacks. Pick your choosy metaphor of choice - that's what they want.

I’ve had the same experience. At this point, I assume there’s always an internal candidate or referral I’m competing with. Makes it feel less personal, even though it still sucks.

Recently, I inherited a mess of a project. During the scope stages, it became more and more apparent that effective communication hadn't been established across all key stakeholders.

I'm a firm believer that the right communication establishes a structure for effective project execution. It lays down clear project goals and objectives, leaving no room for ambiguity.

Creating a communication matrix often makes a difference to planning. How do you manage your communication within your projects?

I am a UX designer and have spoken with a potential client who intially wanted to redesign the navigation and landing page of their site. They showed me analytics saying only .35% of users open the main menu (most access different pages through Google search and then leave the site) so it's not worth the time to redesign. I see a lot of growth potential here, but they don't see the value in good nav if users don't already use it. How do I show them the value of good nav? Should I just let it go?
