Hi, I'm Linda. If we haven't met yet, here's the short version. I spent years as a journalist, chasing stories and interviewing people about their lives, before I got a little obsessed with one story in particular: how people find work, and how much harder we all make it than it needs to be.
That obsession is why this blog exists. I've read the studies, talked to recruiters and hiring managers, and watched plenty of genuinely talented people freeze up in front of a blank resume. So the plan here is simple. I want to give you honest, practical job search advice that actually helps, without the corporate word salad. No "synergy." No promises that you'll land your dream job by Friday. Just clear, human guidance you can use today.
A quick word about where you're reading this. HubKit is an AI-powered resume builder, and if you want the full tour you can read what HubKit actually does over on our about page. But this blog is not a sales pitch. Think of it as the place where we talk about the messy, nerve-wracking, occasionally funny reality of job hunting. Resumes and cover letters, yes, but also interviews, career changes, and what to do when you've sent forty applications and heard back from precisely none of them. (Been there. It's usually not you, it's the inbox.)
Here's what I promise you. Every post will be written by a human, for humans. It will be honest, even when the honest answer is "this part is hard." And it will always leave you with something you can actually do next.
Speaking of which, here is your first small step:
- Pick one job you genuinely want.
- Open your current resume right next to the posting.
- Read the first three things the posting asks for, and check whether your resume answers them in the top half of the page.
That's it. If the answer is no, you've just found the most useful thing to fix this week. And if you get stuck on the basics, our frequently asked questions cover a lot of the common ones.
I'm really glad you're here. Let's get to work.
