I once spoke to a candidate who checked every box on paper, but in the interview, their answers were all over the place. You could tell they knew their work, but they hadn’t practiced telling their story. That disconnect cost them in the end.
How comfortable are you actually talking through your experience out loud?

Lucky them! they snagged an interview! I've submitted an embarrassingly high number and at this point will take an internship. Ive worked for high profile corporations and I graduated with an honors degree and gave my class speech. I am living in an abnormal world.

Getting your resume right, is the first and hardest test. Every company wants something different these days.

honestly at that point i'd stop treating every application like a moral test and start treating it like a matching problem. a lot of strong candidates get buried because the resume isn't speaking the same language as the posting, even when the experience is there.

i had a stretch where i was getting nowhere with solid experience too, and the annoying fix ended up being boring stuff like tightening bullets, mirroring exact keywords, and making sure the top third of the resume actually matched the role. once i did that, the response rate changed way more than i expected. i also ran a couple versions through ResumeJudge just to see what an ATS was probably seeing, and it made the gaps weirdly obvious.

if you want, paste one job description and the resume version you used, and i can tell you what looks off in the wording or structure. sometimes it's something stupidly specific like the title line not matching what the ATS expects.

Getting another set of eyes, is always a good thing. Sometimes it’s hard to ask for help when looking for work.
