Why I Built This
Hey, I’m Badr Adnani. I made this project because I wish someone told me these things 3 years earlier.
For months I sent out applications, tweaked cover letters, and refreshed my inbox… and got silence. After 200+ applications and a lot of trial and error, I finally cracked what actually works: a clear CV, keywords that beat ATS, and simple systems to manage money, study better, and start small projects on the side.
This site is me packaging everything I learned so you don’t waste the same time.
The quick version
- Built by a recent grad in the UK who went from constant rejection to interviews and offers.
- Zero fluff — only tactics that worked for me (and people I’ve helped).
- Student-first: free guides, simple templates, and affordable PDFs.
- Coming soon: How to Google like a pro and Your First Startup (step-by-step).
The longer story
I studied Computer Science. I thought good grades + a decent CV would be enough. It wasn’t.
I applied to big names and small companies. I customised, I rewrote, I tried different formats. What finally changed things was treating job hunting like a system:
- writing a CV that shows impact, not tasks
- using the right keywords so ATS actually sees you
- tracking applications and following up properly
- building a simple portfolio that proves skills
- learning to search smarter (Google is a superpower when you use it well)
Once I fixed those, the replies started coming in. Interviews. Shortlists. Calls. I built this project so you can copy that system in hours, not months.
