After doing everything “right”, listening to all kinds of JOB search optimization Gurus living in a fantasy world of being employed, I came to the conclusion that their advice was in fact correct.
The main message among all of them is: You Need To Standout !
First i was in state of resistance, thinking that all those GURUS are full of shii*
Ive suddenly realized ! I was trying to standout in a wrong way !
I thought Achievements, Experience, Loyalty for a Company was a great differentiating factor, I was completely neglecting what truly matters.
The Aesthetics, The Design
As a true Engeneer i was blindsided by the old mantra, build and they will come
But now i realise that noone will use your product (CV), if they cant see it.
So looking at number of candidates applying to a singe position, I need to standout !
And after watching countless hours about SUCCESS on YouTube, iam equipping myself with a motto: Ill Try Till I DIE (or find another job)
And My Weapon for the second round will be my Revamped CV v2.0
(actual portfolio may vary)
Wish Me LUCK in 2026 !
