What if the reason you’re not landing bigger roles or higher pay has nothing to do with your experience — and everything to do with how you’re positioning it?

In this episode of Págame Podcast, Evie breaks down the #1 place most high-achieving women are underselling themselves in their job search — their resume — and how to finally fix it.

Drawing from real client transformations inside her coaching program and resume intensive, Evie shares why so many talented professionals stay trapped in lower pay bands, struggle to pivot careers, or feel invisible to recruiters — even when they’re doing incredible work.

This isn’t just about formatting or keywords. It’s about learning how to:

✨ Translate your impact into measurable value

✨ Stop leading with tasks and start leading with results

✨ Improve your ATS resume score

✨ Position yourself for higher-paying roles

✨ Build confidence using real data (not self-doubt)

✨ Negotiate from a place of clarity and self-trust

If you’ve been:

• Quick-applying with hope as your strategy
• Taking rejection emails personally
• Feeling “pigeonholed” in your career
• Afraid to ask for more money
• Considering a career pivot but worried about pay cuts

…this episode will change how you see your job search.

Evie also shares why money mindset, nervous system safety, and self-worth are essential parts of salary negotiation — especially for first-generation professionals and women building generational wealth.

By the end of this episode, you’ll understand why your resume is your foundation for interviews, offers, and long-term career growth — and how to start using it as a tool for abundance instead of self-doubt.

🎯 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

✔ Why most resumes signal lower seniority than intended
✔ The difference between task-based vs. value-based resumes
✔ How ATS systems filter candidates before humans see them
✔ Why your resume impacts your salary more than you think
✔ How to prepare for career pivots without taking pay cuts
✔ What recruiters actually look for in high-impact candidates

Ready to stop underselling yourself on paper?
If you want a resume that passes ATS, reflects your real impact, and positions you for higher-paying roles, apply for Evie’s Get Seen, Get Paid Resume Intensive. In this 1:1 coaching experience, you’ll work together to rebuild your resume, target aligned roles, and create a repeatable strategy for landing interviews.

• How to stop proving your worth and start embodying it
• What aligned ambition looks like in career and relationships
• How to become more open to receiving love, praise, and money
• Practical mindset shifts for confidence, boundaries, and self-trust

Have you ever opened a rejection email and immediately thought, “What’s wrong with me?”

You’re not alone.

For high-achieving women — especially those who’ve done “everything right” — automated rejections can quietly chip away at confidence, self-trust, and career courage. Over time, they don’t just hurt… they start shaping how you see yourself.

In this episode, Evie breaks down the hidden mindset traps behind job rejection and why so many qualified women internalize systemic hiring failures as personal shortcomings.

You’ll hear the powerful story of Laura — a brilliant professional who was getting rejected again and again, despite being highly capable — and how changing her resume strategy and her mindset helped her reclaim her confidence, land interviews, and step back into her power.

Together, we’ll explore:

• Why your brain turns silence into self-blame
• How to separate facts from fear-based stories
• What rejection actually says (and doesn’t say) about you
• How to practice “emotional hygiene” during a job search
• How to stop outsourcing your self-worth to broken systems

This is a grounding, empowering conversation for anyone who’s tired of questioning their worth because of impersonal hiring processes — and ready to job search from a place of clarity, confidence, and self-respect.

Because rejection is feedback from a system.

It is not a verdict on your value.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• How automated hiring systems distort self-perception
• The difference between data and self-judgment
• Why high-achievers are especially vulnerable to rejection spirals
• Practical tools to protect your confidence during your search
• How Laura transformed rejection into career momentum

If this episode helped you breathe easier, feel stronger, or think differently about your job search:

👉 Share this episode with a friend who needs it
👉 Work with me inside the Get Seen, Get Paid Resume Intensive
👉 Stop letting rejection define your future

You deserve to be seen, valued, and paid — without losing yourself in the process.

• How Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) rank resumes and influence visibility

Are you qualified for roles but still not getting interviews? You’re not imagining things.

In this episode, career and salary negotiation coach Evie breaks down why up to 60–70% of resumes never surface to recruiters — not because candidates aren’t good enough, but because of how Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) rank and filter applications.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why most resumes aren’t “automatically rejected” — they’re ranked low
• How Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) actually work
• The difference between resume rejection vs resume invisibility
• Why high-achieving women are disproportionately affected
• How resume screening impacts confidence and salary expectations
• What to focus on instead of blaming yourself

In this powerful episode, host Evie sits down with one of her clients and longtime friend, Laura Ashley Hernandez — a proud Chicana, environmental scientist, business owner, and podcast host. Together, they dive into Laura’s deeply personal and transformational journey from burnt-out overachiever to a confident, boundary-setting, five-figure-salary-negotiating powerhouse.

Laura shares what it was like growing up as the eldest daughter in a multigenerational line of eldest daughters, and how that shaped her identity and sense of responsibility. She opens up about the challenges of unlearning the need to prove herself — especially in the corporate world — and how stepping into the Self Worth Accelerator Mastermind helped her embrace self-compassion, reclaim her power, and negotiate her worth.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in a cycle of over-delivering, undervaluing yourself, or wondering if you're “allowed” to walk away from a job that doesn’t serve you — this episode is for you.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

• How Laura broke generational patterns of “first-daughter overachiever” energy
• The identity crisis that followed her decision to quit a “dream job” that drained her
• Why walking away was the ultimate act of self-worth — even without a backup plan
• How she transformed shame and burnout into confidence and clarity
• The role community, coaching, and nervous system regulation played in her healing
• What it looked like to negotiate her next role with a $32k salary increase

Timestamps:

02:00 – Navigating childhood, cultural duality, and the eldest daughter narrative

05:30 – Life before the Self Worth Accelerator: proving, grinding, and burning out

10:45 – The breaking point: when the “dream job” wasn’t so dreamy

14:30 – Healing the shame around quitting and stepping into radical self-trust

18:15 – How mindset and boundaries led to a 5-figure salary increase

22:00 – Final reflections: building a life rooted in peace, not pressure

About Laura:
Laura Hernandez is a Chicana scientist, podcaster, entrepreneur, and proud eldest daughter who’s passionate about helping her community reconnect with nature and their roots.
