I’m treating this week like a total reset because my current application strategy has stalled out. If you've successfully broken through the silence and started getting interviews, what did you do? I'd love some fresh perspectives to help shake things up.

Talking to recruiters and having them send in my resume has worked better for me than sending it into the application abyss.

i use AI, it tells me if im qualified. i sent it my resume so it knows my qualifications and work history. then i asked it to create the best resume, based off my actual resume, for the job. so i have a master resume that highlights my staff accountancy and then i have an AP resume that highlights my AP work. Then I tell it to not use any obvious AI words or sentence structures. I ask it to base it off my tone. Ive gotten lots of call backs and interviews. I havent landed anything yet. I think cover letters set someone apart. Claude has helped me aLOT

Put my dog down last night. He’s had seizures for the last 4 years and been taking 9 pills a day. Last night he had a seizure that didn’t stop, irreparable damage. I found him in a storage unit abandoned and 5 years wasn’t enough with him. Absolutely heartbroken, never been through this before. Any advice? His name was Kylo. Called my mom for support who told me “it’s a dog not a human, you’re being immature.” My boyfriend and I could really use some kind words. We’re so lost can’t stop crying.

Have others found it hard to transition from Audit to Financial Analyst? All the recruiters I’m meeting with are telling me I probably won’t get an interview since they’re looking for someone who’s ready to hit the ground running.
It’s discouraging because I’m a fast learner, and from talking to my friends who are Financial Analysts, it doesn’t seem like what we do is so dissimilar.
