🇺🇸Resumes that get past the system, and career changes after forty
- 19 years of experience
I recruited in the Baltimore and Washington corridor for nineteen years, agency and corporate, and I now work on the candidate side. I know what happens to your application in the first ninety seconds because I was the person doing it. Two things I fix most. Resumes written as job descriptions instead of results, which is almost all of them, and which fail both the software and the human. And career changes after forty, where the problem is never capability: it is that the resume forces a recruiter to do the translation work, and recruiters do not do translation work. I will also tell you honestly when a target is unrealistic from where you are, and what the realistic intermediate step is. People do not enjoy that conversation and it saves them a year of silence. Send me the resume and one job posting you actually want before we talk.

What sets them apart
A recruiter will not do translation work for you. If your resume makes someone figure out how your experience applies, it gets passed over, and that is the whole problem with career changes.
