I lost 45 pounds a year ago on Tirzepatide. I looked and felt amazing. I couldn't afford the injections anymore and I gained all of it back plus some. I'm 34 5'6 and currently I'm at 215 pounds., I was at 156. I really can't afford them and have no idea what to do.
As someone who has a bachelor's in human resource management, I'd love to offer insight in hopes of it helping: If you’re applying to remote jobs and not getting interviews, it’s usually not just competition, it’s that your application is getting filtered out before a human sees it.
Most companies now use ATS systems and keyword matching to screen resumes automatically. That means even qualified people get skipped if their resume doesn’t match the structure or language of the job posting.
One of the biggest mistakes people make is applying too broadly. When your resume doesn’t closely match the job description keywords, it often never reaches a recruiter.
A simple fix is to stop applying randomly and instead focus on roles where your experience matches at least a good portion of the listed requirements, then adjust your resume wording to reflect those same keywords.
If you’re stuck, try comparing one job posting you applied to with your resume line by line—you’ll usually spot the disconnect pretty quickly.
It’s gotten more frustrating recently, but a lot of people are running into the same thing right now.
Make sure that your resume is tailored to the specific role you're applying to!!
