Show More Tell Less In Your Job Search

Resumes are dumb.

Boiling our lives down to a couple pieces of paper? 🧻

Stupid. 🤷‍♂️

Definitely more art 🎨 than science 🧪.

Anybody that tells you there is one right way is a liar.

Everybody has an opinion 🗣️.

Here’s one of mine:

You know those giant walls of text 🧱 some put right at the top of their resume?

Executive Summary!

Career Highlights!

Key Skills!

Ya…here are 5 reasons nobody is reading that… 👇

1) You’re telling instead of showing 🎭

2) No context – just claims floating in space 🌌

3) You’re just asking them to take your word for it 🤞

4) It’s what you want them to notice; they’re thinking, “we’ll decide what’s important, thanks.” 🧐

5) No reference point. “Strong communicator?” Compared to who, and what? 📏

“But Eric! What about ATS? Huh? What about THAT?!?” 🤖

Stop. ❌

Write for humans 🧠

Show them what you’ve done 📂

Let that speak for itself 🔊

Trust them to connect the dots 🔗

Give them room to draw their own conclusions 🧩

That’s how you Get Hired FAST ⚡
