69. The CS Job Search Playbook Is Dead: Here's the Evidence

You’ve been told to obsess over resume keywords, send out dozens of applications each week, and reach out to recruiters after every single job posted. But what if I told you those classic job search “secrets” are actually tanking your chances of getting hired in Customer Success?

In this episode, I’m diving into the job search advice that’s actively sabotaging your career growth and breaking down what’s TRULY working in the CS job market right now (according to hundreds of recruiters and hiring managers I’ve interviewed).

Here’s the deal… the hiring landscape has completely changed, and so have the rules of landing interviews. I’m pulling back the curtain on why your applications are getting ghosted, even when you’re more than qualified and revealing the new skills and strategies hiring teams care about most. From the outdated myths you need to drop ASAP, to the REAL behaviors hiring managers are watching for (hint, it’s not just what’s on your resume), I’ll show you how to get ahead of the competition. 

If you’re tired of wasting time on advice that doesn’t work and want a proven shortcut to stand out, this one’s for you. Press play and let’s get you hired!
