AI Made Every Resume Better and Harder to Remember (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It was a Tuesday evening last spring. I was working through 64 applications for a team lead role at my kitchen table, eating cold pasta straight out of the container because I’d promised myself I’d finish the pile before dinner and dinner had come and gone. The resumes were good, which is what made the evening so tiring. Clean layouts, tidy bullets, every line opening with a strong verb, nearly every achievement carrying a percentage. And the same phrases kept coming back. “Drove cross-functiona

That’s where the advice stops, every time, and I think it stops because most of the people giving it haven’t looked for a job in a decade.I coach job seekers on weekends.

Read excerpt
A candidate once replied to a rejection email less than a day after applying and asked whether anyone had actually read the resume.It was a fair question. The rejection had arrived quickly enough to feel insulting.I remember the morning because I was eating a dry supermarket croissant over my keyboard, one meeting-room screen refused to connect, and I was supposed to be fixing a spreadsheet that had somehow turned every date into January 1900. By the time the candidate wrote back, the resume had
