You're an engineer who took their resume seriously, but recruiters still reject it? There are two types of recruiters you need to write your resume for: Wendy and Jackie. 1️⃣ Wendy is a pro – she understands tech, people, her client, her manager, and her market 2️⃣ Jackie, on the other hand, is the opposite; she's just there, junior, helping out, reading your resumes, etc. The recruitment process often starts with Jackie. She's the one that opens 100 resumes manually, investing about 10 seconds to see if the resume is worth 10 minutes. If you're lucky to pass the 10-second scan, Jackie starts reading it.

You're an engineer who took their resume seriously, but recruiters still reject it? There are two types of recruiters you need to write your resume for: Wendy and Jackie. 1️⃣ Wendy is a pro – she understands tech, people, her client, her manager, and her market 2️⃣ Jackie, on the other hand, is the opposite; she's just there, junior, helping out, reading your resumes, etc. The recruitment process often starts with Jackie. She's the one that opens 100 resumes manually, investing about 10 seconds to see if the resume is worth 10 minutes. If you're lucky to pass the 10-second scan, Jackie starts reading it. 3️⃣ Chuck, who applied for one of the openings at Wendy's organization, is an experienced software engineer with a strong track record in designing and implementing complex, high-performing software systems He led the development of several mission-critical applications that have significantly improved the efficiency and reliability of his organization's operations. Chuck would be a great fit for the role! Jackie looks at Chuck's resume. She sees that he has experience in "Software System Design." But the resume doesn't really showcase his skills in "software architecture" - something Wendy told Jackie is an absolute must-have for the open position Instead of those key architecture skills being front and center, they're buried down on the second page. Seeing that, Jackie just goes ahead and hits the "delete" button 🫣 Wendy will never meet Chuck Chuck wouldn't get hired for the organization he fits greatly If you are Chuck, you need to write your resume for both Wendy and Jackie. Once you've done that, show your resume to different recruiters and ask for feedback. You can also ask ChatGPT using different prompts to see if a junior technical recruiter can verify your skills Subscribe to AXE TALENT for more tips and strategies to navigate the hiring game and win #hiringengineers #EngineeringJobs #TechCareers
