Why Resumes Don’t Work Anymore (And What Does)?

Trying to land a tech job in 2025?
Stop scrolling.

This is the episode you actually need.

I sat down with Yuzheng Sun, a data scientist, experimentation evangelist, and creator of one of the best-selling GenAI courses online, to talk about what really makes you stand out in a brutal job market.

We cut through the fluff. No vague advice. No “just keep applying” nonsense.
This is about building real projects, navigating resume myths, and shifting your mindset from job-seeker to builder.

Whether you're fresh out of college, looking for career transitions, or just stuck, this conversation will move the needle for you.
