How a personal struggle led to creating a solution that helps thousands land their dream jobs
After my software company collapsed in 2023, I suddenly found myself job hunting for the first time in years.
"With my tech skills and leadership experience, I'll land something great in no time."
That confidence lasted exactly 4 weeks... until my inbox remained empty. Not a single interview request. My heart sank deeper each day.
So, I filled my resume with all my best projects.
Each Monday morning, I'd send out 20 applications. By Friday, nothing but automated rejections, or worse, that crushing silence.
The sleepless nights began. My chest tight with anxiety:
"Am I too outdated?"
"Have my skills become useless?"
"What if I never work again?"
After 156 rejections, I found myself at 3 AM by the harbor, tears streaming down my face, posting a desperate cry for help online.
That's when my old friend Stephen from HR called.
"Just write exactly what they're asking for."
"But...I spent too much on my resume."
"Shut up and just try this."
It seemed too simple. But I was hopeless enough to try anything.
The next day, hands trembling, I completely rewrote my resume, mirroring the exact language from job descriptions. Within 72 hours, my phone rang. 8 interviews in 2 weeks.
That dark moment became my turning point. The job search system was broken - not me.
I became obsessed with helping others avoid my nightmare. I interviewed 50+ HR professionals, invited industry leaders, found 1000+ successful resumes for AI training, and built Resume 3.0 - the system I desperately needed.
