If you're job searching right now, you’re likely swimming in a sea of conflicting advice.
Some people tell you to apply to everything you see. Others say the hidden job market is the only place that matters. Some swear by cold outreach. Others think it’s a waste of time. And if you don’t have a “top school” on your resume? You might feel like you’re already behind before the race even begins.
At Wonsulting, we’ve worked with over 150,000 job seekers around the world. From first-generation college grads and international students to mid-career professionals making big pivots, we’ve seen all sides of the job search, and the misinformation that comes with it.
So in this article, we want to cut through the noise. Below are the five biggest myths that hold job seekers back, and how Wonsulting’s tools, coaching, and strategies help you overcome them.
This is one of the most deeply ingrained narratives in the hiring world. The belief that if you didn’t attend a top-tier university or graduate from a “target school,” your chances of getting into top companies are slim to none.
It’s simply not true.
We’ve helped hundreds of clients from non-target schools, community colleges, and international institutions land roles at companies like Google, Amazon, LinkedIn, Deloitte, and Meta. These individuals didn’t have elite academic backgrounds or well-connected networks. What they had was clarity, confidence, and a strategy.
The truth is, employers care about what value you bring to the table. That means how you communicate your experience, how you tailor your resume to the role, and how you build relationships with people inside the companies you’re applying to.
At Wonsulting, we specialize in helping job seekers position themselves powerfully, regardless of where they started. We help you tell a story that resonates with recruiters and hiring managers, even if your degree or background looks different from the "standard" path.
We get it. AI tools are everywhere now. You can generate resumes, cover letters, even interview prep answers in a matter of seconds. But here’s what most job seekers don’t realize: AI on its own is not a solution. It’s an accelerator.
What that means is simple. If you feed AI a strong foundation: clear goals, quality inputs, and a strategic direction, it will help you move faster and save time. But if your career goals are unclear, your resume is generic, and your networking strategy is non-existent, AI won’t magically fix that.
That’s why we built WonsultingAI to support, not replace, your efforts. Our tools include:
These tools work best when paired with expert coaching and personalized strategy. That’s the Wonsulting difference.
This one is especially damaging for early-career job seekers and career switchers. There’s a lot of pressure to land a job within weeks of applying, or worse, right after graduation. When that doesn’t happen, people start blaming themselves. “Maybe I’m not good enough. Maybe I chose the wrong major. Maybe I’m not cut out for this.”
Applying to roles is a tiny part of getting hired. You should learn how to position yourself, tailor your materials, build relationships, iterate based on feedback, and stay resilient.
Some of our clients land interviews within 30 days. Others take 90 or more. What matters is that they stick with a process that works, rather than throwing in the towel or spiraling into doubt.
We teach our clients how to stay consistent and strategic. We help them build momentum with clarity, not panic. Because once you’re equipped with the right strategy and mindset, things start to shift. You get more replies. Better interviews. More confidence. And eventually, the right offer.
We’ve heard the skepticism. And in all honesty, we understand it.
There are plenty of overpriced programs out there making vague promises without delivering real value. Some resume services charge hundreds for a one-size-fits-all template. There are "gurus" selling career hacks that feel more like wishful thinking than practical advice.
That’s not what Wonsulting is.
We built Wonsulting to democratize access to high-quality career support. We share our pricing upfront. We offer free tools like ResumAI and CoverLetterAI. We publish case studies, client testimonials, and real stories from job seekers who’ve worked with us. And most importantly, we don’t promise magic.
What we promise is a proven framework. We offer coaching sessions backed by real hiring experience. We teach strategies that have helped thousands of non-traditional candidates break into companies that once felt out of reach.
And for certain packages, we even offer refund policies and guarantees if specific milestones aren’t met. Because we stand behind our work.
We’re not here to sell hollow dreams. We’re here to support real results, and we’ve got the data to prove it.
This myth might be the most common of them all.
Most job seekers think the job search is a numbers game. They believe that if they apply to 200 roles, eventually one will stick. So they spend hours blasting out the same resume to hundreds of listings on LinkedIn, Indeed, and Handshake, only to get silence in return.
The problem? Quantity does not equal quality.
Our most successful clients don’t apply to hundreds of jobs. They apply to the right jobs. With the right materials. And the right outreach strategy.
We show our clients how to:
One strong application backed by thoughtful networking can outperform 25 cold submissions. The key is focus.
At Wonsulting, we don’t just help you get hired. We help you change the way you job search.
Every one of our services, tools, and coaching programs is designed to counter the outdated advice that keeps good people stuck. Whether you’re struggling with rejection, resume fatigue, or a lack of direction, we’ve built a system that works.
This isn’t just about landing a job. It’s about building a career with intention.
If you’re tired of doing everything right and still seeing no results, let’s talk.
You can start with:
You don’t need a perfect resume, a perfect GPA, or a perfect path. You just need the right support system, the right strategy, and the commitment to keep going.
