Finding a remote job was about clarity

I used to think my remote job hunt failed because I wasn't trying hard enough - not enough resumes or revisions. I treated it like a numbers game until interviews changed my mind.

During remote interviews, I realized my answers felt flat and disconnected. I started recording myself and noticed I was jumping to conclusions and skipping vital context. To fix this, I used GPT to analyze the "why" behind interview questions and utilized mock interview tools like Finalround to refine my delivery.

I learned that behavioral interviews are about soft skills and genuine company fit, not just generic templates. Ultimately, preparing for interviews became a process of self-discovery, helping me distinguish between a job for survival and a career that truly fits.
