🔥 BAMF of the Month: Madeline Mann
This month’s BAMF is a walking masterclass in community-powered career growth. Madeline Mann (aka @SelfMadeMillennial) didn’t just go viral for resume tips she rewired the way people think about job searching.
In April, she launched the “Reverse the Search” challenge — a free, interactive, self-paced program teaching thousands of professionals how to stop begging for callbacks and start attracting career opportunities on their own terms.
🎯 What makes her a BAMF:
Gave away her playbook to 10,000+ people for free
Transformed fear into strategy for people navigating layoffs and layoffs
Uses her 400K+ platform to uplift, not gatekeep
She's proof that clarity isn’t just a vibe. It’s a competitive edge.
And that sharing your tools doesn’t dim your light — it sets others on fire.
