Three months of applications, no callbacks. What am I getting wrong?
Three months without a callback is usually a targeting problem, not a talent one.
Your resume opens on design systems. Four of the five roles on your tracker are generalist product design, so the panel skims your top third and sees someone they cannot place.
Lead with the systems roles. Automattic and GitLab are already on your board and both name systems work in their first three bullets.
Which track do you actually want?
Context
It has read your file before you say hello
Every conversation opens with three things already in hand. You never paste your resume into a chat box again.
Your profile
Headline, location, skills, tech stack, and whether you are open to work.
Your latest resume
The one you edited most recently, flattened to text by the same renderer the cover letter generator uses.
Your tracker
Up to five of the newest jobs you saved or applied to, which is the clearest signal of what you are aiming at.
Openers
Six ways in, or just start talking
The welcome screen keeps six openers for the days when you know you need help but not what to ask for. Each one sends a real question, not a topic.
You
Which is most useful right now: a polished resume, a tailored cover letter, a LinkedIn summary, or an outreach message?
It picks one, then drafts it.
The answer
Specific, or it is not worth reading
The coach is held to a house style. Here is one answer with the rules it is keeping marked in the margin.
Three months of applications, no callbacks. What am I getting wrong?
Three months without a callback is usually a targeting problem, not a talent one.
Your resume opens on design systems ownership, but four of the five roles on your tracker are generalist product design. A generalist panel reads your top third and sees a specialist they cannot place, so you lose on the skim rather than on the work.
Put the systems roles first. Two of them are already on your board, Automattic and GitLab, and both name systems work inside their first three bullets. That is the shortest distance between what you have done and what someone is hiring for.
I can draft the rewritten bullets here, then you can take them into the resume builder to set them properly.
Which track do you actually want, systems or generalist? I will write the top third for whichever you pick.
Boundaries
Where it stops
Worth knowing before you lean on it. Replies are AI generated, so check any number or policy that matters before you act on it.
It is not a recruiter
It cannot see live listings beyond the ones sitting on your own tracker, and it does not submit anything on your behalf.
Salary talk is public numbers
It has no private compensation data. Ask for a benchmark and you get a rough public range, labelled as approximate.
It stays in its lane
Medical, legal, and financial questions past general career money get a short no rather than a confident guess.
Your file is read as facts
Everything it knows about you is fenced off as reference data, so text arriving from a job listing cannot rewrite how it behaves.
