You are not bad at job searching. You are stuck in a pattern nobody has ever named for you.
Most job search advice starts with your resume. Usually that is not the problem. The problem is what you do every time you sit down to look, and it repeats whether you notice it or not.
This is a ten question diagnostic that names it. Answer honestly about the last sixty days, tally your letters, and land on one of four types: the Serial Applier, the Overqualifier, the Perpetual Lurker, or the One Good Resume.
Then you get the part most quizzes skip. Your type comes with a full page written from the hiring side of the desk: what is actually happening when a recruiter opens your application, what the pattern is costing you, a five step plan for the next thirty days, and a day-by-day schedule for your first week so you are not staring at a to-do list wondering where to start.
Ten pages. Print it, write on it, keep the page that is yours.
