In today’s highly competitive jobs market, where is your job search stalling?
Are you not being invited to attend initial interviews?
Are you not progressing beyond the initial screening interview?
Are you being invited to attend interviews but are not receiving a subsequent job offer from a company with whom you want to work?

There are strong probable reasons for each of these outcomes.
Your CV does not excite, nor is seen as appropriate for the vacancy by the hiring manager.
Your CV does not reflect the ‘real you’, possibly because its format has been templated, or it’s been enhanced by AI, and/or contains exaggerated cliches? These are then identified during the screening interview, resulting in your rejection.
Your social media profile does not mirror your CV, thereby placing doubt about your credibility.
At interview you were unable to convince the hiring manager that you should be their candidate of choice, again resulting in your rejection.
