How to write a resume that gets call backs and not rejections

Your resume is not your diary.

There is no room for story time.

It’s a sales pitch.

You’ve got 6 seconds to make someone care.

So why are you writing novels?

❌ “Responsible for…”

❌ “Team player with strong communication skills…”

❌ 3 chunky paragraphs per job

Sorry to say it, but no one’s reading all that. 

A resume with no numbers? Might as well be fiction.

Here’s what actually gets callbacks:

⚡️ Metrics over fluff

⚡️ Impact over activity

⚡️ Bullets over blocks of text

⚡️ Relevance > Nostalgia

💥 “Increased revenue 38% in 6 months”

💤 “Managed pipeline and collaborated cross-functionally”

💫 Built a team from scratch and scaled it to 15 in under a year. 

🚀 Clear, punchy bullets. Start each one with a strong verb: Drove, Built, Scaled, Reduced, Improved.

Here’s the reality:

📉 75% of resumes are rejected before a human sees them

📈 Resumes with metrics get 40% more interviews

Make it sharp. Make it readable. 

✨ Show your value

🗑️ Ditch the fluff

📽️ Make it a trailer — not a documentary

Make your 6 seconds count please!
