your work can't speak for itself.
you have to translate it โ that's not bragging, that's the job.
(this is the thing we wish someone had said to us years ago)
Every "yes" is a "no" to something else. Today, say yes to yourself. Sleeping in counts. Reading something that isn't work counts. That's not laziness โ it's strategy.
Stop applying to jobs you don't actually want. The energy of "I'll take anything" is legible in interviews. Target companies that have problems you solve.
