Be intentional. Not active. It’s not real unless it’s repeatable.
What if the job search started with better awareness instead of more applications?
Who’s Your Why

External Awareness — understand the opportunity and what they value
Situational Awareness — right fit, and a real reason to move now

Remove the reason to guard the answer
