How to Pass the 5-Second Resume Scan


Listen Later

This week, Jeff and I are diving into one of the most critical parts of your resume: branding and skills. We’re breaking down how to frame your professional story so that hiring managers can see your value in just a few seconds, without you feeling like you're "bragging" or overcomplicating things.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Using professional titles to control the “anchoring bias”
  • The difference between a job title and a professional title
  • How to list skills you’re still learning by using the “enthusiast” tag
  • Why you should deprioritize most soft skills in your skills list
  • The "one-time" rule for qualifying your experience
  • Prioritizing hard skills and industry terminology
  • How to use a job description as a cheat sheet for your skills section


Listen in to help us, help you give yourself the best chance of landing your Next Job… NOW :)
