You try to outsmart the system.
Or you hope the universe finally gives you a win.
You sip an overpriced flat white and start again.

🎟️ Better luck this time?

Then the bargaining begins:
Maybe if I reverse the order of my bullets.
Maybe I should apply at midnight instead of 9am.
Maybe I should let my niece write it—she's lucky.

Sometimes you let the algorithm pick for you.
Auto-fills. AI tools. Same resume for every listing.
Why not? It’s all a gamble anyway, right?

You tweak your resume. You scan job listings like fortune cookies.
You ask friends, mentors, psychics:
“What am I doing wrong?”

Maybe nothing. Maybe the machine just doesn’t like your numbers this time.

Job hunting in 2025 feels less like building a career… and more like playing Mega Millions.

Instead of numbers, it’s keywords.
And no one tells you the winning combo.
