The job market in 2025 feels broken—and you’re not imagining it. AI-generated spam is clogging recruiter inboxes, resumes are becoming less relevant, and LinkedIn is more influencer platform than job board.

In this episode, I break down why things feel so hard right now (for everyone—not just developers), and give you a practical, modern strategy to stand out and actually get hired:

✅ What to do instead of blasting resumes

✅ How to play the LinkedIn game without becoming a cringe poster

✅ Old-school tactics that still work (and new tools I recommend)

If you’re stuck, overwhelmed, or just tired of bad advice from people who’ve never written code for a living—this one’s for you.
