I tried spray and pray for 2 months — 10 apps per week. Started sending pitches and out of 7 pitches, I got 4 interviews and one job offer. Huge difference.
Crash is your job hunting superpower.
No more applying to hundreds of jobs hoping to hear back from just one. It’s time to put yourself in the driver’s seat.
Job hunting as you know it? Broken in so many ways.
Many jobs are filled before they’re even listed on job boards.
If you’re relying on job boards to find your next thing, you’re missing out on tons of opportunities. You have to be more proactive.
The ones that are listed don’t show you what you want to know.
You want to know what the company culture is like, and what your day-to-day responsibilities would be for the role.
You apply with your resume, which doesn’t show your true worth.
They’re cramped, monotonous, and packed with irrelevant details: “What font size should I use? Should my email come before or after my phone number? What if I have a gap in my work history?” None of this really matters.
Applicant Tracking Systems filter for the wrong things.
Your entire worth as a candidate (and chances of getting an interview) are judged by the system’s ability to understand your resume.
“One-Click Apply” is destroying your chances.
This lazy, “spray-and-pray” approach (applying to hundreds of jobs with the same canned cover letter) tells employers you aren’t any different than the rest of the pile.
The entire process feels inhuman and out of your control.
Sound familiar? “We’re not able to respond to every candidate. If you don’t hear back within 4-6 weeks please try applying for another position in the future.” Yeah, this doesn’t fly with us.

Hey

I'm so excited about your Junior Marketing Creative role, I made a quick video about why I think I'd be a great fit:
Here’s my mockup showing what I think the landing page at inmostgame.com should look like so the game sells even better!
It’s habitual for me to just give up searching for candidates when I use other job posting sites. Crash is a breath of fresh air, it’s phenomenal to see the person behind the resume and what they’re truly passionate about.
Engage your job hunting superpowers.
Tech companies are out there, hiring, right now. They can’t wait to see what you’ve got.
Show ’em what you’re really made of—start pitching.
I have multiple projects that show my proficiency in SQL, Python, Tableau and Excel, as well as statistical data analysis and reporting.
When I started learning these skills last year in Thinkful's Data Analytics bootcamp I completed the program 2 months ahead of schedule and passed the course with flying colors.
As a data analyst at Ware2Go, I'll keep it up by continuing to learn as I go and produce great work to show for it.

Below is one of my favorite portfolio pieces. I produced this behind the scenes video in collaboration with LG Electronics for the #UltraWide #DreamSetup festival.
I'd love to discuss the future of creativity, work, and learning and see how I can create value for Patreon. Take a look at my profile or email me to setup an interview. Thanks in advance.
