Fresh off Friday's AI Portland event for job seekers, Megan and Nicole bring AI Portland's favorite resume expert, Andrea Gerson, onto the podcast for round two. This one goes deep on what actually moves an ATS score, why LinkedIn should work more like a dartboard than a diary, and why the fundamentals of a good resume haven't really changed much—even as everything else has.

Andrea, founder of Resume Scripter, has read tens of thousands of resumes over her career and is watching AI reshape both sides of hiring in real time. She breaks down what took one resume from a 40 to a 100 on an ATS screen without any keyword stuffing, why "context, scope, outcome" beats a list of tasks every time, and why showing a little more humanity on a resume is starting to work in people's favor again.
