I've done 900+ free 15 minute resume reviews for job seekers this year for free. I'll do 100 more, and here is what I've learned
Most people need help remembering and quantifying the size, scope, scale, and impact of their work. The accomplishments they, their team, and their organization achieved while they were there (yes, you can share team and organization accomplishments without claiming to have been the sole reason for the wins) Most also haven't seen what a good resume looks like in their specific field. ChatGPT and all the LLMs are trained on data from the open internet, and most advice given is wrong. It isn't data-backed; it's just some dude or lady's opinion. I've been working on changing that. Many try to keep things to one page. Don't. If you have a good hook and compelling story, they won't care if they need to scroll a bit. Hiring managers and recruiters have TikTok brainrot and 7-second attention spans, just like us. Hook them in the summary with something- could be an impressive stat or metric; if you are earlier in your career or don't have one, it could be passion and enthusiasm. Show that you have done the research and are ready to solve the problems they are hiring for. Happy to answer your questions. I will not sell you anything from this post. You can call me or if I try. I will also do 100 more free resume reviews. All you have to do is comment/DM. Happy to help as much as possible for free because I know the impact it can have, and I learn how to better support candidates.
