Your work isn’t the problem. The job search is.
It’s not just you. Today’s job search is different from just a few years ago. But here’s what’s been the same since I started in 2008:
A 6-figure search hits friction in 6 predictable places, and one of them is yours.

Where your job search stalls isn’t where the trouble started.
I’ve guided 850+ professionals through high-stakes moves — some reached out before they ever hit the market, others after their search hit a wall. Across those searches, one reality holds:
Where a problem shows up rarely tells you what needs fixing.
Sometimes the friction begins in the stage that’s giving you trouble. More often, something left undecided, unnamed, or unresolved is finally catching up with you.
For example…
If you’re asking:
Why am I not getting interviews?
Maybe your resume needs work. But it could also be that:
- You haven’t narrowed the search to a clear lane.
- Your resume may be strong, but positioned for the wrong roles or level.
- Your materials make the right case, but don’t open the right doors.
Or maybe you’re asking:
Why am I getting interviews but no offers?
The problem may be in how you’re interviewing. But even then, it’s easy to misdiagnose what needs fixing. It could also be that:
- The materials that got you into the room don’t set you up as the lead candidate.
- You’re prepared for the questions interviewers ask, but not their unwritten priorities that ultimately shape the hiring decision.
- Your spoken answers don’t yet convey the full weight of your impact or the level you’re ready to operate at.
That’s the pattern.
The friction you’re feeling now may have started two, three, or four steps before your job search stalled.
Once you pinpoint the origin of the friction, then you’ll know exactly which stage to fix. Getting specific spotlights what to work on first to get your search running smoothly again.
And every friction point has a gateway out:
