Does anyone have tips for getting interviews? I’d like to think I do well enough when I get them since I’m 3-for-3 on offers, but I can’t seem to get them. I’m working on shifting out of a big 4 consultancy back to industry either in the civilian space sector or in game dev. But it’s hard to puff up my résumé because I’m not much into playing the whole bs game, and autism does me no favours in networking. Suggestions?

I wouldn’t assume there’s anything going on with your approach. You’re looking for a role in fields where it sounds like your professional network has not expanded yet.
When I’ve made changes like that, I had to live with some mysterious rejection until I got my foot in the door.
Fair enough.
Perhaps you can prepare some small presentation (or not), and assist to a conference on that field?
I’d have to find someone willing to let me join them, though. That’s the issue, since most presentations are given by firms.
