123. 3 Things CS Job Seekers Waste the Most Time On (That Aren’t Getting Them Hired)

What if the reason your job search is not working has nothing to do with your experience and everything to do with the things you keep wasting time on?

In this episode, I’m breaking down the three biggest mistakes I see Customer Success job seekers making that feel productive but are actually keeping them stuck longer. I’m sharing the patterns we uncovered from clients who recently landed roles, why some “good” job search advice is backfiring, and the one strategy most candidates are avoiding that is quietly helping people get interviews faster.

You’ll walk away with a completely different perspective on what actually moves the needle in a CS job search and how to stop wasting time on things that are not getting you hired. If you’re ready to get more traction, stand out, and start landing better opportunities, hit play and let’s dive in.
