From 500 Applications to Clarity

Jan 21, 2025 12:31 am

Last week, I had a call with a UX designer who’s been stuck in the job hunt spiral for over a year. She’s sent out over 500 applications and still has no offers. Understandably, she’s feeling tired, stressed, and defeated.


But here’s the thing: The problem isn’t her skills. It’s the system.


During our call, we decided to rewrite her approach completely. Instead of chasing every open role, She needed to focus on discovering her core.


We started by mapping out her ideal career:


  • What kind of work lights her up?
  • Which companies align with her values and goals?
  • Who does she need to connect with to make those opportunities real?


By the end of our conversation, She had clarity she hadn’t felt in months. She knew exactly how to identify her dream companies and how to start reaching out to the right people, the right way.


This isn’t something they teach in school. And honestly, it took me a decade (and a lot of trial and error) to figure it out myself. That’s why I share it now—to save others from years of wasted effort.


If her story resonates with you, DM me. Let’s talk about getting your strategy in place.


Your dream job isn’t 500 applications away. It’s one clear plan away.


DM me the word "Clarity" if you’re ready to stop applying blindly and start building real connections with your dream companies.
