It's your positioning. Fix that and the same resume starts getting callbacks. --- You've done the courses. You've tailored your resume. You've sent over a hundred applications and gotten silence. So you study harder. But studying wasn't the fix. I've worked at one of the largest healthcare companies in the world for over a decade, sat on hiring panels, and helped people rewrite their resumes into better roles. The pattern I keep seeing: the people who stay stuck almost never have a skill problem. They have a positioning problem. They aim at every job at once, so nobody sees them as the answer to anything. In this video I break down what positioning actually means (it's a marketing concept applied to your job search), how to pick one healthcare niche so you stand out instead of blend in, the difference between a broad generic portfolio and a focused one that makes you look like the obvious hire, and the exact first move for wherever you're stuck right now. --- ⏱ Timestamps 0:00 – Applying to data analyst jobs and hearing nothing?
