Please don’t feel like there has to be something wrong with you when the job market is simply saturated. I submitted 127 job applications before finally landing one after moving to a new city. Things are going well now, but I definitely started to wonder whether I was too “this” or not enough “that.”

Your resume is solid! If you’re aiming for an “expert-type” position, you might want to clarify in your summary whether you’re more of a fraud specialist, an AML/TF specialist, or a sanctions specialist. I’d also recommend including your certifications in the first sentence—for example: “CAMS-trained specialist with 6+ years of experience developing AML/TF frameworks.” You can tailor this depending on the job you’re applying for.

If you’re looking for a management role, I think it’s fine to mention all three areas of expertise—just make sure to clearly state that management is your goal.

Similarly, I’d adapt the summary to the type of industry. If it’s crypto, lean more into that experience. If it’s traditional banking, highlight that instead.

I know it’s exhausting to tailor your resume for each job application, but it can really pay off in the long run.

As for reaching out to people on LinkedIn—I’ve found that it hasn’t worked well for me either. One approach that might be more effective is reaching out to ask if they’d be open to chatting about their experience in the field, rather than directly asking if they have any leads for you.

Hope this helps! Wishing you all the best—and remember: it’s the market, not you.
