Resume Makeover: Can You Spot the Edge?

Through the Recruiter Lens

Resume Before & After

Everyone has an opinion on what makes a great resume, but the real measure of success is whether it helps you stand out and land meaningful conversations. At the end of the day, your resume has one clear goal: to get the phone call.

Key Questions

Here are a few key questions I always ask myself:

  • Who are the gatekeepers, and what are they looking for?
  • Does this speak to what a hiring manager wants to see and what a recruiter needs to see to move it forward?
  • Am I clearly showing how I stand out from the competition?
  • What concerns might they have, and how can I proactively address them?
  • Does my resume tell a clear, compelling story?

Two versions. One goal: Get the call. Can you👀the edge?
