Episode 29: Board, Exec, and Regular Resume Distinctions with Erica Reckamp
Ever wonder how helpful generative AI really is for job seekers? In this episode of Work Should Feel Good, Diana Alt sits down with executive resume writer and job search advisor Erica Reckamp to unpack Erica's brand-new 2025 research on generative AI resume feedback, this time, from the job seeker's perspective.
You'll hear how Erica's deep background in ghostwriting, storytelling, and executive branding shaped her view on what AI tools get right (and very wrong) about resumes. They also explore how different types of resumes from entry-level to board-level demand different strategies, and why voice, clarity, and persuasion matter more than ever in an AI-powered hiring landscape.
If you've ever felt unsure about using tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, or resume builders for your job search, this episode is for you.
