Ignore Your Resume Like A Recruiter

How many seconds does HR give you?
7?
10?
2π? 2 pi?
You remember trigonometry
right JAMES?

You’ve heard all the advice:

• “Actually, it’s 6 seconds”
• “My teacher said to avoid passive voice”
• “You listening closely? One word: ~KEYWORDS~”
• “The font war is heating up. I’m telling you: Helvetica Neue”

Did you throw up in your mouth yet?
Not even a little chunk?
…little nugget?

Brace yourself because
👏 No.
👏 One.
👏 Is.
👏 Talking.
👏 About.
👏 This.

Ready?
Maybe just maybe

The problem isn’t with your résumé

There.
I said it.

No pitchforks yet?
*phew*

Maybe just maybe

If you only give them
7 seconds to say “No”
you’re doing it wrong

There must be a better way!
