I should be able to figure this out

That’s what I told myself, over and over during my job search.

I had the experience.

I was smart.

I’d built a successful career.

So why would I need help?

But six months into my job search, I had one interview.

I was doing everything I thought I was supposed to do.

And it still wasn’t working.

I felt discouraged.

Frustrated.

Sometimes even hopeless.

The turning point?

My mom looked at me one day and said,

“You’ve been doing this for months. You need to try something different.”

That’s when I finally stopped trying to power through alone.

I hired a coach.

I reworked my resume, deeply, not just formatting.

I reset my mindset.

And everything started moving.

Within weeks, I had interviews.

Eventually, I landed three six-figure offers in one day.
