Happy Monday friends!
I hope you had a restful weekend. We had a a couple of extremely hot days (rare in Sweden), and we spent it grilling, swimming in the lake and eating lots and lots of ice cream :)
I’m also happy to announce I am re-offering my 1:1 consulting calls, with limited time slots because I need to prioritize my brain capacity to provide thoughtful information.

🚨 If you apply to any job you found through WFH Mama Mail, add this to the ‘How did you hear about this role?’ field on your application: WFH Mama Mail Newsletter — it helps me track which listings are landing and keeps me motivated to find even better opportunities for you! 🍁
📰Use the "10/10" rule to land a job: It's like tapping into "the hidden job market," says career coach
TLDR: Career coach Beth Hendler-Grunt says blasting out 100 generic applications “is not moving the needle” — instead, pick 10 companies you love, find 10 people in the entry-level-ish roles you want, and reach out one by one.
Her line “people hire people, not a job board” is basically my whole philosophy for this newsletter. This is exactly the hidden-job-market strategy behind why I source so much of what’s below from Instagram and my own network instead of just posting Indeed links. If you’ve been stuck refreshing job boards, try building your own “10/10” list this week — it works.
📰Ex-Google recruiter: The No. 1 resume "red flag" that makes hiring managers stop reading — and how to fix it
TLDR: A former Google recruiter breaks down a resume red flag most candidates can’t even see in their own resume — it’s invisible to you, but instantly obvious to whoever’s screening.
If your callback rate has been quiet lately, this is a five-minute read that could be the difference between a maybe pile and a yes pile. Worth a read before you send out your next round of applications this week, besties.
