My resume looked fine, but I wasn’t getting interviews

After I was laid off, the company paid for outplacement support.

They helped rewrite my resume.

At first glance, it looked polished.

Professional. Clean.

But over the next six months, I got exactly one interview.

That resume wasn’t working, and I didn’t know why.

I was frustrated and confused.

Because from the outside, it seemed like I was doing everything right.

But here’s what I learned:

Hiring managers don’t care what you were responsible for. They care what changed because you were there.

The version I had was more like a job description.

It didn’t show results.

It didn’t connect the dots between what I’d done and what the company needed.

It didn’t showcase my expertise.

So I started over.

I went deep on outcomes. And got help to reframed my entire resume.

And once that changed, everything else did too.

I started getting real traction.

I landed three six-figure offers, all in the same week.

If your resume “looks fine”… but isn’t getting you interviews,

That might be your clue.
