How is your job search going?

November 11, 20251 min read

Does anyone answer that question honestly? Most folks say, “Fine” in the hopes of moving over the topic quickly. Yet behind the scenes, they’re rewriting the same resume for the 12th time, hoping this is THE version that finally gets through the filters.

If that’s you, it's not for lack of effort. Unfortunately, the job search system is broken:

  • Employers write job descriptions with AI

  • Job hunters use AI to write and rewrite their resume

  • Recruiters use AI-enabled applicant tracking systems (ATS) to review the influx

It's tough to stand out when everyone’s doing the same thing. Even recruiters struggle to see what's different. The algorithms catch keywords and measure for context but don't see career stories. Everything is moving faster, but what's the narrative tying them together? How can your resume show those pieces of process, trial-n-error that make up your story?

That’s why I started Lifemap.coach to help tech, design, and marketing professionals rebuild a career story that translates to both humans and algorithms. And that's why I created this blog to explore how AI is changing the hiring process and career paths.
