After working with hundreds of job seekers, I’ve noticed a pattern: the best resumes aren’t just “well-written.” They’re strategic. They show value, impact, and intention. But here’s the thing—we all approach resumes differently. So I’m curious… What’s helped you land interviews (or stand out in a sea of sameness)? And if you’re feeling stuck?

I found out last week that our boss took a few team members on a leadership seminar trip. I feel like I should have been invited as well. I've done a great job, reviews are stellar, they give me impressive raises, and I've been hitting several milestones. The only thing these particular employees have over me is that they've been with the org for a few years longer than I have-- and, as if it should matter at all, they have political connections within our org (friends/family). Still, I have solid industry experience that matches or surpasses theirs. Not sure why I was overlooked. Maybe it's just not my time?
