The job market in tech is tough right now: slower, more selective, and more competitive than it’s been in years. So how do you stand out, stay resilient, and actually land the right role?

In this episode, I sit down with Katie Dolgin, a leadership coach and talent strategist who’s been on both sides of the hiring table - as a consultant, recruiter, and career coach helping people navigate change with clarity and confidence.

Together, we unpack what’s really going on in the Canadian tech job market today, what hiring managers are actually looking for, and how to approach your job search with strategy instead of stress. From crafting a focused story and tailoring your resume for the ATS, to nailing the interview and building relationships that open doors, Katie shares a masterclass in how to get hired without losing yourself in the process.

This episode is packed with practical advice and real talk. Whether you’re just starting out, in between roles, or exploring what’s next, you’ll walk away with a sharper sense of direction. And a few reminders that every “no” is just redirection toward the right fit.
