Why Your Experience Stopped Getting You Interviews

You find a job posting that actually fits. You update your résumé. You write the cover letter. You submit the application. And then… Nothing. No interview. No rejection. No explanation. Just silence. In this video, I pull back the curtain on what is often happening inside organizations when qualified candidates hear nothing at all — and why that silence can become far more damaging than people realize. After more than three decades as a COO, CMO, Head of Product, and executive leader, I’ve sat on the other side of thousands of hiring decisions. I’ve seen roles change halfway through a search. Budgets disappear. Job requirements shift. Strong candidates get caught in processes they never knew existed. The problem is that none of that is visible from the outside. All you see is silence. And over time, that silence starts to feel like evidence. Evidence that you’re no longer relevant. Evidence that your experience no longer matters. Evidence that nobody wants what you’re offering. But that’s often not what’s happening at all. If you’ve ever wondered why finding a new opportunity feels so different than it used to, this video is for you.

I’ve spent more than thirty years inside the meetings where careers are discussed, opportunities are decided, and sometimes difficult decisions get made. Most people never get to see that side of the workplace. On this channel, I try to make it a little less mysterious.
