reel 0.36% engagedDegrees can get you the interview. Skills get you the job. But what actually gets tech candidates rejected?

Strategy summary
What's working, what to fix, and what to ship next.
TL;DR
Street interviews are the engagement flywheel, crushing with post 13 at 1798 likes, post 20 at 1262, and post 9 at 1060 on debates like degrees vs skills. They turn passive scrolls into comments by polling real opinions on AI jobs, outpacing podcasts and stories 10x. Yet cadence leaks growth at just 2.1 posts/week across 297k followers, leaving room fallow while rivals post daily. Pillars cluster tightly around AI upskilling, with 65% in podcasts, streets, and stories proving relatable hooks beat product dumps. Lean harder here to reclaim feed dominance.
Working
5- Street reels spark debates with **4x avg likes**.
- Podcast CTAs drive comments reliably.
- Success stories humanize brand effectively.
- AI stats in launches build credibility.
- Event promos create urgency.
Risks
5- Posting too sporadic; inconsistent gaps kill momentum.
- Over-rely on podcasts despite lower avg likes than streets.
- Success stories static; add video testimonials.
- Few pure AI news bites; mix more timely updates.
- No clear visual style tying posts together.
Ship next
5- Double street interview output to 2/week using proven questions.
- Launch weekly podcast teaser series with CTA links.
- Test carousel expansions on top success stories.
- Ramp to 5 posts/week starting with high-performers.
- Run A/B on CTA keywords like PODCAST vs LINK.
