I just talked to a games recruiter who has made 500+ hires, including 100+ in 18 months. He sees thousands of CVs. And he says the reason great devs get passed over usually has nothing to do with talent. 🧵

It comes down to your signal. Your CV says one thing. Your LinkedIn says another. Your portfolio a third. That friction makes a recruiter move on to the next person. You become invisible without ever knowing why.

The fix starts with one question: what problem do I actually solve? Then make every profile point at that one answer. Cut the noise. A clear signal beats a complete one.

What we get into: • The Frankenstein CV that buries you • Networking without the icky feeling • Why mass applying is "reverse spam" • The interview hack: solve their problem live
