You Only Need One Yes
If your job applications keep disappearing into a black hole, there’s a reason—and it’s not just bad luck.
Most resumes fail because they scream, “I’m just like everyone else.” Recruiters don’t need another generic list of duties—they need a reason to care. Your resume isn’t a biography. It’s a weapon. A billboard. A 7-second sales pitch.
The fix? Position yourself as a solution, not a seeker. Ditch passive job titles and highlight impact. Quantify results. Speak to problems you solve, not tasks you’ve done. And above all, make it obvious why you’re the one they’ve been waiting for.
This tiny shift can pull you out of the pile and straight into the interview chair. It’s not about gaming the system. It’s about being unforgettable in a world of copy-paste.
