Lesson 0.2: Why Effort Has Not Translated Into Interviews

Most people assume one of two things when interviews do not happen.

Either the market is broken.
Or they are not trying hard enough.

In reality, most candidates are failing for a different reason.

They are fixing the wrong problem.

Hiring is not linear.
Effort only matters when applied to the correct constraint.

Common examples:

• More labs when proof is the issue
• More applications when role fit is wrong
• More certifications when skills are already sufficient
• Endless resume edits when volume is too low

Effort applied to the wrong lever produces no signal.

This kit exists to identify the lever that actually matters.
