Hey there 👋

we're glad you made it! This is the corner of Y1R where we share the systems, experiments, and templates that help real people land interviews faster without sanding down the stories that make them stand out. Expect deep dives into the frameworks behind standout applications, a peek at how we’re building Y1R from the inside, and the occasional behind-the-scenes post when something just works.

Why we run this blog

• We like proof more than hype. Every playbook, prompt, or script we publish is something our team or the community has tested in the wild.
• Iteration beats inspiration. Strong applications are built loop by loop, so we document what happens when a résumé, outreach plan, or interview prep flow moves from draft to hired.
• Building in the open keeps us honest. You'll see the product decisions, the things we break, and the moments that change how we work.

What you can expect

1. Deep dives into standout applications, complete with the context and numbers that made them click.
2. Templates and automation recipes you can drop straight into your workflow.
3. Behind-the-scenes looks at how we're building Y1R for candidates, builders, and anyone who's résumé curious.
