Welcome to Secure the Damn Job, a special series on Five with Fry where I break down what actually works when you're applying for jobs. Sponsored by Hyreable (the career development wing of JenFryTalks), this three-part series covers resumes, cover letters, and interviews with real talk, real strategy, and zero fluff. Whether you're making a career move or entering the workforce, I’m here to help you show up strong and get hired.

Let’s be real: one-size-fits-all resumes are a lie. In this second episode, I’m walking you through the resume strategies that actually move the needle. You'll learn five powerful strategies to help you stand out, including replacing outdated objective statements with a compelling executive summary, incorporating quantifiable achievements with specific metrics, and saving every customized version to build your own personal resume library.

I’ll also show you how to make the job description your “North Star,” tailor your resume for each role, and get through those pesky applicant tracking systems (ATS) that scan for keywords before a real person even sees your application.

Whether you're switching careers or just getting started, this episode will give you the tools and the mindset to stay in the game. Job hunting is a marathon, not a sprint—but I’ve got your back.

Need some extra help with your resume, cover letter, or interview prep? Head over to Hyreable to work with me directly—and let’s secure the damn job.
