I have friends in low places that give my resume a warm start

It's a hit or a miss... Corporate jobs tend to be serviced by in house recruiters/contacted hr.. they don't go through entire CVs, but rather do database queries for keywords to shortlist resumes. You might be a great candidate but if your CV doesn't have enough matching keywords, the CV "rank" would be low and won't make the shortlist

Buddy of mine created algorithm for this software, pretty sure it's common in the industry, unless you work with headhunters, etc who know about you from screening calls

Worked for me too. Also used indeed. Might just be your resume not matching the system’s key words.

Friends, need some feedback on an idea:

I’m thinking of starting a podcast interviewing leaders at startups about their experience with specific challenges - I know, cliche, get a more original hobby, etc.

Not looking for the narrative arc of How I Built This or Masters of Scale. Instead, looking to uncover specific problems faced by companies that tried something new for the first time. What did they not see coming, how did they adapt and measure, etc.
