In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly what’s in and what’s out for resumes in 2026—based on what recruiters are actually looking for right now (not what your university career center told you in 2018).

We’re getting into:

This episode was kind of crazy to research. 

In this episode, I’m breaking down what I’m calling “Title Theatre”—the growing trend of companies inflating job titles, rebranding roles, and handing out “promotions” that don’t actually come with more money, power, or stability.

And this isn’t random. It’s happening right now, and it’s being accelerated by AI.

As companies restructure around automation and efficiency, we’re seeing a shift toward “doer roles,” more aggressive (and often masculinized) job titles, and a workplace culture where your title sounds more important… but means less.

So what does that actually mean for your career?
