Wiseful

I reviewed 300+ resumes so far this month. This one stood out from the rest. I always share it with my coaching clients and friends. And they're landing interviews and offers at companies like Google, OpenAI, and Stripe. For roles paying $100K-400K. I got the template from Teal's AI Resume Builder. It's a simple template, nothing fancy. But here's why it works: 1) Simple design & formatting Easy to read but also 'ATS-friendly' so you won't run into readability issues when you're applying to jobs and uploading your resume. 2) Strong summary Instead of jargon or an 'objective statement' they share a summary with highlights from their career. It's the first thing someone reads and can help get their attention. 3) Achievements > Responsibilities They clearly articulate what they've accomplished instead of just listing their job responsibilities. 4) Measurable Impact Results and numbers are included for each job. People can easily understand what kind of impact they've had on the business. 5) Relevant Keywords & Skills The right keywords are embedded in their bullet points to demonstrate how they used those skills. A skills section is also included for easy reference. — I work with many recruiters and hiring managers. They also appreciate it when they see these on a resume. Don't underestimate the power of a well-crafted resume. Use this template and best practices to stand out among the competition.

The best part about their Resume Builder is that ALL of the best practices I listed above are something it does by default so you don’t have to worry about missing any of the important stuff on your resume.

Your resume might get you in the door. This AI tip can help you seal the deal. Try this to stand out in job interviews. 1) Go to Gamma 2) Select “Create new” presentation ➡️ ”Create from a one-line prompt…” 3) Enter this prompt: "Create a 30-60-90 plan for a [job title] role for a [company type] in [company industry]” Example: Create a 30-60-90 plan for a Project Manager role for a B2B SaaS company in Tech. 4) 💥 You just created a tailored 30-60-90 plan in seconds. 5) Review and personalize the plan, adding your unique insights. In your next interview with a hiring manager, mention you've prepared a 30-60-90 day plan outlining how you'll hit the ground running. Offer to share it and ask for feedback. This plan should outline your goals and strategies for the first 90 days in a new role. It shows you're proactive and have a clear vision for success. Most candidates won't go this extra mile. Be the one who does and leaves a lasting impression. Reshare ♻ to help someone with their next interview.  And follow me for more posts like this.

I’m interviewing people for an open role on my team. Salary often comes up in the first interview. So I tell them the salary range for the role. And see if that meets their expectations. No games. No back and forth. No trying to have them “give a number first.” We're in range almost 100% of the time. Because I also put it in the job description… Why choose transparency? - Being clear about salary = trust from the start - No guesswork. Faster, more efficient hiring - Better candidate experience attracts better talent This doesn't have to be complicated. Companies: feel free to use this playbook, free of charge. ✌️ Reshare with your network if this resonates with you ♻

Here’s what you do with this info. If you see jobs with tons of applications, still apply. Most people don't read job descriptions. They just click and apply. But here's the truth: Most applicants aren't qualified. If you think you’re a fit for a job, go for it. Even if you see the job has 1,047 applications, still apply. Most people just rush through the process. They don't take the time to understand what the job really needs. What does this all mean? You have a better chance than you think.

Actually really good networking advice. Don’t wait until you need something to reach out. 7 ways to transform contacts into valuable connections: (these helped me get my last two jobs) ☑ Send Quick Notes: Send brief, friendly check-in emails mentioning recent achievements or something relevant you saw on their LinkedIn. This takes less than three minutes. ☑ Utilize Social: Engage your contacts in places like LinkedIn or Twitter by commenting on their posts or sending them relevant posts from others. This helps show genuine interest. ☑ Schedule Catch-Ups: Occasionally suggest coffee or a casual meeting (virtual or in-person) without needing something specific to deepen your relationship over time. ☑ Share Relevant Content: Send articles or resources that might interest your contacts to show you’re thinking about them (e.g. “Saw this new AI tool you might like…”). ☑ Celebrate Milestones: Acknowledge significant events in their lives, like promotions, publications, or personal milestones with a simple congratulatory message. ☑ Create a Follow-Up System: Use a spreadsheet or CRM tool to track contacts, help you stay organized and maintain consistent communication. ☑ Be Authentic and Sincere: Approach networking with genuine curiosity and a desire to help others and your connections are more likely to be mutually beneficial. Not going to lie, this can feel overwhelming. So I set an attainable goal of doing this with at least 3 people each week. Give it a try and I promise you’ll see more opportunities come your way. Networking isn't just for when you need something. It's about building genuine connections. Reshare ♻ if this approach resonates. And follow me for more posts like this.
