Wait... was that a tire or a shadow?

All day long, we’re forced to prove we’re human.
🔐 Passwords. 🔢 Pins. 🤖 Captchas. 👁️ Face scans.
Check the box that says “I’m not a robot.”
And yet... when it comes to job searching?
The conventional wisdom is: be more of a robot.
Scrub the personality out of your resume.
Keep it “professional.”
Say what you’re supposed to say.
The result?
Bland. Forgettable.
Technically correct... and totally invisible.
The opportunity for you:
Be more human.
You’re not applying to be a human.
You already are one.
You’re applying to help other humans...
so lead, connect 🤝, solve real problems.
Here are 3 reasons to be more human in your job search:
🔹 Connection beats perfection.
People hire people. Not paper. Not profiles. People.
🔹 Vulnerability builds trust.
When you open up (even a little), people lean in.
It makes you a safe choice - not risky.
🔹 Human stories stick.
No one remembers “detail-oriented.”
They will remember how you stayed calm when things went sideways 💥.
Landing a job isn’t about erasing your edges.
It’s about owning them 💪.
You’ve already proven you’re not a robot 🤖.
Now stop acting like one.
✨ Be the human they’re hoping to meet.
