Word salad
Somewhere between wanting to sound smart and not knowing what to say, a word salad is born.
The necessities
Nobody gets excited about a resumé. Doing one ranks up there with oil changes and dental cleanings
White noise
There is a point when repetition stops reinforcing a message and starts erasing it.
How to get it right
Nobody gets it right the first time. That’s not failure, it’s the process.
Something to lose
AI will write your proposal, your cover letter, your website. In seconds and without hesitation.
Applicant tracking systems…behind the scenes
You spent two hours perfecting your resumé. You tailored it to the job posting. You hit submit.
And then nothing.
The proof is in the interview requests
If your resumé is working, you will get calls for interviews.
If you aren’t getting calls, your resumé isn’t working.
