From 100 Rejections to 100 Interviews: Cracking the Job Code - Aparajita Sudarshan

How does a professional with an 18-year successful career across 6 countries suddenly become invisible?

Aparajita Sudarshan, founder of Cvolve Pro, shares her brutal wake-up call after moving to the UK. Despite training over 15,000 students and being highly qualified, she found herself waking up to 11 rejection emails before breakfast. She tried everything: expensive CV writers, ChatGPT, keyword stuffers—and nothing worked.

This episode dives into the FailCraft theme of turning rejection into innovation. Aparajita explains why the traditional "static CV" is dead and why even paid experts fail against modern ATS systems. Discover how she stopped applying and started building, creating the AI tool that took her from 100+ rejections to 100+ interview invitations.

In this episode of FailCraft, you’ll discover:

* Aparajita's "Rock Bottom": Moving to the UK and becoming professionally invisible.

* The £169 mistake: Why professional CV writers often fail.

* The problem with "static CVs" in a dynamic job market.

* Why ChatGPT and generic AI tools aren't enough for job applications.

* The birth of Cvolve Pro: Building a solution out of desperation.

* How to prepare for interviews using the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result).

* The mental toll of constant rejection and how to persist.

* Aparajita's advice for anyone currently drowning in rejection emails.

* Her unique definition of success: It's a moving target, not a destination.

This episode is for job seekers feeling hopeless, immigrants struggling to break into a new market, or anyone tired of sending applications into the void.
