When I first started reviewing resumes back in 2016, one thing stood out: most resumes looked the same. Generic templates, overused buzzwords, long paragraphs nobody would read.
The problem? Recruiters don’t have the time to decode wat you’re trying to say. They want clarity, relevance, and proof that you’re the right fit.
Here’s what I learned over the years after reviewing 1,000+ resumes:
- A resume is not your autobiography — it’s a marketing tool.
- Every line should answer this: “Why should they hire me?”
- ATS compliance isn’t optional anymore — it’s a must.
- Tailoring to the job description makes or breaks your chances.
The difference between a good resume and a great one is positioning. A great resume doesn’t just say what you’ve done, it shows how you can solve the employer’s problem.
