Why listen to me

I was the no.

I spent multiple years as a CTO. I built the hiring loops, wrote the scorecards and sat in the debriefs where your name came up for four minutes and then didn't again.

I've read 1000's of CVs. Most of the rejections weren't about talent - they were about a summary nobody could parse, bullets with no outcome in them, and answers that fell apart on the second follow-up.

I don't do affirmations. I tell you what a tired hiring manager sees at 6pm on a Thursday, and what to change so it lands differently.

Status: still doing interview panels. Still taking notes.
