Stop Saying These Things to Job Seekers (Even If You Think You're Helping)
Let's be honest: the hiring process is broken, and if you're job searching right now, you're feeling it. Job boards? They're a mess. AI-generated resumes flooding recruiters' inboxes? It's out of control. The trust between job seekers and hiring managers has eroded to the point where talented candidates are getting lost in the noise.
But here's the good news: I have a tool that's going to change everything about how you approach your job search.
The App That's Revolutionizing How Job Seekers Connect with Recruiters
A couple of years ago, two brilliant brothers came to me with an idea. One had worked at Google, the other at Tinder and Disney. They'd been on both sides of the hiring table—as job seekers and as managers—and they were fed up with the current system. They wanted to create something better, something that would actually help candidates stand out in a sea of identical resumes.
Fast forward to today, and that vision has become reality. The McCoy app is now available for iOS and Android, and I'm not exaggerating when I say it's the most innovative tool I've seen for job search in 2025.
How McCoy Works (And Why It's So Brilliant)
Here's what makes this app different: it uses AI to have an actual conversation with you about who you are and what you're looking for. You can upload your resume, answer some questions, and McCoy builds a complete profile for you. But that's just the beginning.
The app then goes out and finds legitimate job opportunities that match your skills and experience. Not just any jobs—jobs you're actually qualified for. Then comes the game-changing part.
The Secret Weapon: Your Personal Video Interview Reel
McCoy suggests specific interview questions you should answer based on the jobs you're matched with. But here's where it gets really cool: it creates scripts for you based on your own experience, provides a teleprompter, and lets you record short video clips (under a minute each) that showcase your personality and qualifications.
These aren't public videos that go out for the world to see. Instead, McCoy compiles them into a private URL that you can send directly to recruiters and hiring managers. When they open your link, you get an email notification—so you actually know they viewed your reel. No more wondering if anyone even looked at your application.
Why This Works When Everything Else Doesn't
Recruiters are drowning right now. They're getting hundreds of AI-generated resumes that all look the same, and they've lost trust in what they're reading. They can't tell who's real anymore.
But when they open your McCoy reel and see you answering interview questions on camera? That changes everything. They see a real human being. They see the effort you put in. They see your personality, your communication skills, and your genuine interest in the opportunity—all before they even pick up the phone.
You're essentially giving them a mini-interview on your terms. You control which questions you answer, you make sure you like how each video looks, and you decide who gets access to your reel. It's the complete opposite of those awkward one-way video interviews where you record something and have no idea where it goes or who sees it.
This Is How You Cut Through the Noise
In today's ultra-competitive job market, you need an edge. You need a way to show recruiters that you're not just another resume in the pile—you're a qualified, enthusiastic candidate who's worth their time.
McCoy gives you that edge. It takes maybe 10 minutes to set up, it's completely free to try, and the results people are getting are genuinely impressive. Job seekers are using this to land interviews that they never would have gotten through traditional applications.
Ready to Try Something That Actually Works?
If you're frustrated with your job search right now, I can't recommend McCoy strongly enough. Download the app, create your profile, and record your first reel. See for yourself how different it feels to take control of your job search narrative instead of just hoping someone reads your resume.
I'm so excited about this app that I'm having the founders on my Monetize Your Mind podcast in the next couple of weeks for a live Q&A session. Stay tuned for that—you'll want to hear directly from the minds behind this innovation.
The job search doesn't have to feel impossible. Sometimes you just need the right tool to level the playing field. McCoy is that tool.
Go download it. Create your reel. And get ready to finally stand out.
Go get ‘em!
