  • Traditional job-search tactics — more applications, more keyword-stuffing for applicant tracking systems (ATS) — no longer work because they compete inside a system optimised against candidates.
  • The fix: build something that reaches a hiring manager directly as a person rather than trying to win inside the ATS pile. Concrete example: a no-code personal website built in a single weekend, documented as a replicable playbook.
  • Practical takeaway: treat job search as a small build project (a website, a portfolio artefact) rather than an application-volume game.
