Mike had been through job searches before, so when he was laid off last December, he figured he could handle it on his own. He updated his resume, cleaned up his LinkedIn, and started applying to 5, 10, sometimes 15 jobs a day. But after two months of grinding with no progress, the momentum wore off. Nothing was sticking, and it felt like he was shouting into the void.

When he joined us in April, everything changed. We helped him dial in a resume that actually matched what companies were looking for, and once he turned on the system, the application volume skyrocketed, "far beyond what he could’ve done manually". Within a few months, Mike landed a new role and started fresh. Now, four weeks into the job, he credits not just the tools, but the community and support system that helped him stay focused and encouraged when things felt stuck.
