But if you\u2019ve ever applied to dozens of roles, heard back from none, and received job alerts that make no sense \u2014 you know the struggle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ve got the experience. The qualifications. The motivation. So why does every job alert feel like a bad joke? If you\u2019re anything like me, the job hunt feels like a cruel joke written by a robot who\u2019s never had bills. You\u2019re doing everything right, and still getting left behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the truth? It\u2019s not you. It\u2019s the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So we broke it.
