Companies have figured out how to eliminate jobs without making headlines: small, continuous, never-ending layoffs. In this video, I break down the "forever layoff" trend, why companies love it, and the four things you can do to protect yourself. This isn't motivational. This is what's actually happening.

WHAT THIS CHANNEL IS ABOUT
If you are applying for jobs and hearing nothing back…
If you are getting interviews but not offers…
If you are burned out, underpaid, or quietly planning your exit…
You are in the right place.
I spent over 20 years as a corporate recruiter hiring thousands of people into major companies. I teach what actually works, not what sounds good on LinkedIn.
This channel covers:
• How recruiters really evaluate candidates
• Why “doing everything right” still fails
• Career strategy that goes beyond resumes
• How to build leverage, optionality, and income stability
You will not get hustle culture. You will get clarity.
