EPISODE TEASER

Right now, you're scrolling through Indeed, refreshing LinkedIn, checking company career pages for the tenth time today. You've applied to 47 jobs this month. Radio silence. Meanwhile, someone else just got hired for a role that was never posted online. They didn't compete with 250 other applicants. They didn't even apply. The company created the position specifically for them.

Here's what nobody's telling you: this is how 70% of hiring actually works in 2026. You've been playing a game where 70% of the prizes are in a room you didn't even know existed. Up to 70-80% of all job openings are never publicly advertised—they're filled through referrals, recruiter relationships, and internal networks long before they hit job boards.

In this video, I'm breaking down the hidden job market explosion of 2026, why the best opportunities don't have signs, and the exact strategies to access roles that were never meant to be found online. These are the same tactics my clients use to land offers at Microsoft, Google, Tesla, and Netflix—and they're backed by hard data.

If you're tired of applying into the void or watching opportunities pass you by, this is the job search playbook you need for 2026.

EPISODE TEASER

LinkedIn's algorithm changed everything in 2025, and 54% of professionals are now invisible without even knowing it. If you've been using AI to write your LinkedIn content, your posts are getting 30% less reach and 55% less engagement—which means recruiters aren't seeing you, and less qualified candidates are landing the jobs you want. In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly what's happening with LinkedIn's AI crackdown, why authentic content is winning, and the genius strategies that will 10x your visibility in 2026. Whether you're job searching or building your personal brand, this is the LinkedIn playbook you need right now.

EPISODE TEASER

If you think layoffs are rare or “bad luck,” this episode will change how you see your career.

Bryan Creely and I talk honestly about why job security doesn’t exist the way it used to—and why that’s not your fault. Companies are moving faster, AI is reshaping roles, and being great at your job is no longer enough to protect you.

We break down what actually gives you leverage: building visibility outside your company, thinking like a free agent, creating more than one income stream, and taking control of your career before someone else does it for you.

If you want fewer surprises, more options, and a career that doesn’t fall apart the moment a layoff email hits, this conversation is for you.

You've been told to polish your resume, apply online, and wait. But here's the truth: 75% of resumes get rejected by AI before a human even sees them. The average job posting gets 250 applications. And if you're just hitting "Easy Apply," you're competing with everyone else doing the exact same thing.

Meanwhile, there are job seekers using strategies that feel almost too aggressive to be real. Strategies that bypass HR entirely, crack ATS systems, and access jobs that never even get posted online. And they work—the data proves it.

In this video, I'm sharing 7 job search tactics that feel illegal but are completely legitimate. These are the same strategies my clients use to land offers at Microsoft, Google, Tesla, and Netflix—and they're backed by hard data.

EPISODE TEASER

Your resume isn't getting you interviews, you deserve and it's not because you're unqualified. With 83% of companies now using AI to screen resumes and 80% of applications getting rejected at first glance, the old resume formula is dead.

I reveal the exact resume strategy that's getting my clients past AI systems and landing interviews at Microsoft, Google, Netflix, and NASA.

If you're sending out dozens of applications with zero callbacks or watching less-qualified candidates get the jobs you want, this video shows you what's actually working RIGHT NOW—backed by recruiter data, eye-tracking studies, and real client transformations.

EPISODE TEASER

You're doing everything right—tailoring your resume, applying to dozens of jobs, even hitting the qualifications—but somehow, people with half your experience are landing offers while you're stuck in application limbo. Sound familiar?

Here's the problem: you've been treating your job search like a numbers game when it's actually a strategy game. In this 22-minute breakdown, I'm showing you the exact 3-month framework that separates people who land jobs fast from people still searching six months later. You'll learn why 60% of your time should NOT be spent applying, how to become unforgettable to hiring managers before you ever interview, and the follow-up system that keeps you top-of-mind without being annoying.

If you're tired of getting ghosted, watching less-qualified candidates get hired, or wondering what you're doing wrong—this is your playbook.

EPISODE OVERVIEW

In this episode, I share the story of an entrepreneur with big ambitions—and an incredibly chaotic resume that was holding him back. With multiple roles, overlapping projects, and no clear direction, he was confusing recruiters and getting zero interviews. We rebuilt his personal brand from the ground up and created six strategic versions of his resume, each tailored to a specific target role. The result: he went from zero interviews in six months to six interviews in just three weeks. If you want to understand how targeted resumes and strong storytelling can transform your job search, this episode breaks it all down.
