You didn’t fail the job market. The job market failed you. You did everything right. Updated the resume. Tailored the cover letter. Applied to dozens of positions. Maybe hundreds. And still nothing. That’s not a you problem. That’s a system problem. The market has been quietly redesigned around automation, AI screening, and cost-cutting and the advice most people are still following was written for a world that no longer exists. #ai #jobmarket #techtok #resume #artificialintelligence
