Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• My whole job search is just refreshing job boards and firing off applications into the void, competing with hundreds of strangers for whatever happens to be posted
• I’ve got the conversation booked but I’m staring at a blank page of questions, worried I’ll waste their time asking things I could’ve Googled
• There’s this other life I daydream about constantly, but it stays a fantasy in my head
• My work only pays off way down the line
• I’ll work for hours with no way of telling whether anything I’m doing is actually working, and that not-knowing leaves a gap where doubt creeps in
