You might want to read "The Google Résumé" by Gayle McDowell. It changed the way I apply to jobs, and it made a difference like day and night.

I'm surprised to learn that there are people working in Tech currently finding it hard to apply. Where are you located?

Here in Europe, at least in my experience, it's getting easier every day. Tech is incredibly popular, but demand is still even higher.

You might be viewed as overqualified because of your business experience if you apply to startups.

You might just make basic mistakes that the book will teach you not to do.

Do you think you could give a few examples of things taught in the book that you (or a general person) may not have thought to do?
