In this episode, Kyle Jerome Carter (KJC) breaks down why qualified people keep getting overlooked, why experience is no longer enough, and how to beat the system by building your own proof.

We’re talking layoffs, ATS filters, and the harsh reality of 2026, where companies hire proof, not potential.

You’ll learn:
✅ Why “just applying” doesn’t work anymore
✅ How to use entrepreneurship to get hired faster
✅ What hiring managers actually look for in 2026
✅ How to build real-world experience that no resume can match

If you’ve been sending applications into the void, if you’re tired of being “almost qualified,” or if you just want to make yourself impossible to ignore, this episode is your blueprint.
