In this solo episode, Kevin Cameron cuts through the noise around AI and job searching to share what's actually been working. Drawing from recent coaching sessions, Kevin breaks down the real "cheat code" to landing a job - and it's not a new app or an AI tool. It's strategy. If you've been sending out applications and hearing nothing back, this episode is for you. Kevin Cameron explains why applying and walking away is costing candidates 70% of their chances, how to use AI as a resource (not a shortcut), and why your resume needs to be tailored every single time. More importantly, he maps out a practical networking framework - the "dartboard method" - that has helped the majority of his recent clients land roles within two months. Key Takeaways Use AI to identify gaps between your resume and a job description — but keep your own voice in the final version. Networking consistently outperforms applying alone. Use the dartboard method: start with people you know well, then expand outward. Lead with help, not with asks. Track every conversation in a spreadsheet. Follow up more than once and through more than one channel. Episode Highlights Why applying alone is like shooting a flare in the middle of the ocean. The dartboard networking method explained. How to write a message that gets a response. Why it doesn't matter if they liked you or even remember you. The networking "yard sale" - and how to avoid it.
