I’ve hit an absolute brick wall when it comes to finding for a new job. I’ve had almost a dozen interviews that lead nowhere and been ghosted by a ton of recruiters. Would anyone be available to look over my book and give me some advice? 🙏

If you're getting interviews then it's not your portfolio that's the problem. Talk to a career coach; it might be the way you're presenting yourself or your answers to their questions. How far do you get in interviews? Are they enthusiastic or just polite?

By "first cut" you mean no one responds to your application, or that you are cut after being contacted by a recruiter? Most applications are never seen by a human being. You could be zeroing out because of ATS. That said, post your book I'll tell you if it sucks.

If you are willing to help, would you mind please commenting so I can DM you 😇

Just got through my first interview with EY for an experienced associate position in FDD. Throughout the interview process, they mentioned nothing about a case study. But now I need to take one this Friday. I’m not saying I care, I’m just not experienced with case studies in interviews. I never had one for audit, I never had one for consulting positions, but I need one for FDD. I’m not at ALL prepared for this case nor will my performance be a reflection of my potential. No idea what to do.
