I am feeling a bit disillusioned. I applied for a bunch of jobs. Sometimes I’ll get interviews. Often I think it goes well. I’m a finalist. And then someone else gets the spot. What’s the magic sauce for landing that next job?!?!

There's no secret sauce. When doors closes in our faces better opportunities are arising. When one door closes many more will open up. Best thing to do is stay positive. Something will come. When you speak negatively on things in your life you can't control, it manifests. Then the stress comes, then the depression, then you hit rock bottom. You don't want that. Do the best you can and let nature takes its course. If you believe I God, you'll know it's all going to work out.

Everything is filtered through AI now and keywords… It’s really a shame.
