Here's my take:
❌ It's not about Action Verbs.
❌ It's not about CAR Bullets.
❌ It's not even about 1-Page Resumes!
As a former recruiter myself, I couldn't have cared less about any of those Inside Baseball career topics...
...In fact, I personally hated 1-page resumes (as do the majority of recruiters in real experiments - see here and here).
But there was one question that absolutely mattered:
✅ Does this student FIT my specific role?
That's it.
And that's why I need us coaches to do better by our students:
❌ To not just preach conventional wisdom...
🖖 ...But to help our students do a frickin' VULCAN MIND MELD with the only audience that matters - their recruiters.
If you want to see how other schools are doing this, check out the workshop I led with NACE and Jobscan last week:
And then do me a favor:
📣 Let us know in the Comments how YOU are helping your students understand recruiters and demonstrate fit!
Together, we can set our phasers on HIGH and blast away this old-school approach with something way more effective... :) 💥
