01 read this first
Be honest. Which of these is you right now?
Every one of those is a filter, and not a single one of them is a verdict on your ability. Software that cannot read your layout. Roles that could never legally hire you. A portfolio that gives a reviewer nothing to judge. Filters are mechanical, which is exactly why they can be beaten. That is what the next thirty days are for.
02 thirty days from now
This is what actually changes when you work the plan. Not promises about employers, changes to the things you control.
03 what is inside
Each chapter carries worked examples, a Recruiter Insight box showing what the person reviewing you is actually deciding, common mistakes, exercises, a checklist and action steps. No motivational filler, no padding.
01
The funnel from budget approval to offer, the four ways you can legally be hired from Africa, and a decision tree for whether a role is even worth your evening.
02
Why good CVs fail silently, the bullet formula, how to quantify junior work honestly, and a complete sample CV to model.
03
The four-paragraph structure, two full letters, and the swap test that kills generic writing instantly.
04
A project scoring rubric, the eight-part case study template, and one worked case study you can copy the shape of.
05
Profile, repository and habit layers, commit messages that build trust, and the credential sweep that quietly disqualifies people.
06
The headline formula, three About templates, and a before and after rewrite of a weak profile.
07
Sources ranked by how they actually convert, how to filter for companies that hire globally, and how to spot a scam before it costs you.
08
Target lists, a role-fit score, keyword mapping, and a weekly quota that does not collapse by Wednesday.
09
Finding the right human, the five-sentence structure, the proof element that does the work, and a three-touch follow-up sequence.
10
A four-week study plan pitched at junior reality, frontend and backend question sets with model answers, and what to say when you are stuck.
11
A story bank that answers twenty questions, the remote-readiness questions everyone asks, and the questions you should ask back.
12
Researching a real range, word-for-word scripts, and what a contractor rate actually means after tax, fees and equipment.
13
A diagnosis table matching the stage you failed at to the exact fix, and how to ask for feedback in a way that sometimes gets answered.
14
A weekly system built for unreliable power, expensive data and limited focused hours. Not a productivity lecture.
15
Thirty numbered days, each with one task and one finished output, a catch-up protocol, and a half-speed version if you already have a job.

Most guides describe a template and leave you to build it. These arrive as real Word and Excel documents. Fill them in, save, send. All ten are unlocked with the book.
Single column, parser-safe, with guidance built in and a filled example beside the blank one.
The four-paragraph structure with a prompt for every paragraph so you never stare at a blank page.
Recruiter outreach, hiring managers, referral requests, follow-ups, post-interview notes, reconnecting after a rejection.
Grouped by task, each with a warning about what you must never let a tool invent on your behalf.
A printable one-line-per-day tracker designed to be worked, not admired.
The week before, the day before, the hour before, and the follow-up that most candidates skip.
Dropdowns, automatic follow-up alerts, and a dashboard that tells you which stage of your funnel is leaking.
Content, technical quality and credibility checks, scored so you can retest after you fix things.
Section by section, ending with a search visibility test you run on yourself.
Profile, pinned repositories, README quality, commit hygiene and a security sweep.
05 who this is for
If you want a shortcut, a guaranteed job, or a list of companies that hire anybody, close this page. This book assumes you can already build things and that your real problem is being seen.
06 why this one
Every chapter shows you what the person reviewing your application is deciding and how little time they have to decide it. You cannot beat a filter you have never been shown.
Timezone overlap, hiring eligibility from Africa, contractor versus employer-of-record payment, unreliable power and expensive data are treated as normal facts, not footnotes.
Read it once, then run the plan. Each day has one task and one finished output. There is a catch-up protocol for the days life gets in the way, and a half-speed version if you are already working.

Think about what the last three months of applying has already cost you in evenings. This costs less than a takeaway and it replaces the guessing with a system.

No book can promise that, and you should distrust any that does. Hiring decisions belong to employers and depend on your skills, the role, the competition and timing. What this book fixes is the part you control: how clearly you present your work, which roles you target, and how consistently you apply. Being seen is the part you can win, and most people lose it by accident.
Yes. Chapters 2 to 6 are written with self-taught developers and career changers in mind, including how to build evidence when you have no commercial experience, and how to answer questions about gaps and qualifications without apologising for yourself.
Because volume was never the missing piece. If your CV is not parsing, or you are applying to roles that cannot hire in your country, another hundred applications produces another hundred silences. The book starts by diagnosing which stage you are losing at, then fixes that stage specifically.
You need evidence, which is not the same thing. The book shows you how to build three projects that stand up to review and how to write about them the way an engineer wants to read.
The book is a PDF that reads well on a phone, tablet or laptop. The templates are Word and Excel files, which also open in Google Docs and Google Sheets if you do not have Microsoft Office.

It is written for developers applying from Africa, with Nigerian examples, but the hiring process it describes is how companies in the United Kingdom, Europe, the United States and Canada actually hire. The timezone and eligibility guidance applies wherever you are.
Please do not. It is licensed for one person. Send them this link instead. Sales are what keep the book updated as hiring changes.
Nothing changes on its own. Another month of the same CV produces another month of the same silence. One evening with this book changes what lands on the other side.
