Hello lovely people in this sub. I'll be brief- I went to the hospital for stroke symptoms. Docs did a CT and cleared me as not having had a stroke or TIA. They didn't mention anything else. I left and then looked at my CT. A <1cm calcified Meningioma was mentioned in the notes and viewable in the imaging.

Now, I didn't get any resolution for my symptoms other than "wasn't a stroke." I also understand that small calcified Meningiomas are usually not cause to be concerned about and I am going to follow-up with a neurologist ASAP. That said, is it a stretch to think that even a small meningioma could be the cause of my initial symptoms? I've been having gradual issues over the last 3 months and this seems like more of a horse than a zebra, all things considered.

I don't know if I'm being dramatic or not. Any perspective helps!

I'll keep it quick. I had 2 Round 1 interviews in the last year after 300+ applications. The first one was 10min because the recruiter was late and completely disinterested. The second one led to 3 more and a full-time job that I got chased out of after 3 weeks.

How do I get more round 1 interviews? If I can talk to a real person, I feel that I have the soft and hard skills to find work. The issue is just winning that Round 1 Lottery. My resume is both ATS friendly and shares as much impact as possible. How do I get people to talk to me?
