Here’s the thing about resumes: most people only need one every few years. Which means most people are not resume experts. And the landscape has changed more in the last two years than in the previous twenty.
AI has flooded the applicant pool with resumes that all sound exactly the same. Applicant tracking systems are filtering people out before a human ever lays eyes on their materials. And the professional summary… that two-to-four lines at the top of your resume… is doing more work than ever to get you into the yes pile or the no pile.
If you have a solid draft but something isn’t landing or you just want expert eyes on it before you hit send this is for you.
If your resume hasn't been refreshed recently, it's time!
Your resume might have a problem you can’t see from the inside. Here’s what I look for:
Applicant Tracking Systems scan your resume before a human does. If your formatting, fonts, or structure aren’t ATS-friendly, you’re getting filtered out automatically no matter how qualified you are.
You have about six seconds to make a hiring manager want to keep reading. Your summary either earns that attention or loses it. Most summaries I see are either too long or so generic they could belong to anyone.
Hiring managers want to know what you accomplished and what it meant for the business. There’s a big difference between “managed a team” and “led a team of eight through a department-wide restructure.”
The verbs you use, the way you frame your experience, the specificity of your accomplishments, all of it signals to a hiring manager what level you’re operating at. If your language is too passive or too junior, they’ll read you that way.
Font, sizing, spacing, organization… these things matter more than people think. A resume that looks outdated signals an outdated candidate, even when that couldn’t be further from the truth.
A note on AI: AI is a useful starting point. It is not a finishing point. It can give you a draft. It cannot tell your story. It cannot differentiate you. And right now, hiring managers can spot an AI-written resume from a mile away because they all look exactly the same. Your resume needs to sound like you.

I’ve been on the hiring side. I’ve reviewed hundreds of resumes, run screening interviews, and made the call on who moves forward. I know what a hiring manager sees in the first six seconds and I know exactly what makes them keep reading or hit delete.
I’ve also coached hundreds of professionals through job searches across industries, levels, and career stages. I know what’s changed in the last two years. I know what ATS systems are looking for. And I know how to help you stand out in a pool that is noisier than it has ever been.
I’m not going to tell you your resume is great when it isn’t. I’m going to tell you exactly what needs to change and why so you can walk away with a document that actually opens doors.
Let’s turn your resume into something you're proud to send.
