In today's episode, we have "Anna," who'd like to punch up from Server to Fine Dining Server. Anna's experience and career trajectory mean she's got a lot going for her, unfortunately, she has one huge thing working against her: she's a mother. How do I know? Because she put it right there in the front fold of her resume. And while being a mother is a wonderful thing, and I myself am part of the club, identifying yourself as a mother or ANY protected class is a one-way ticket to rejection. I didn't make the rain, Anna, but I can help you build a better umbrella. Let's get that money, Anna!

And if you'd like an honest review of your resume, please send it to: [email protected]. Please include the job you're hoping to land, with a link to the online posting. Your prize: my terrible voice on your voicemail! Just kidding - you can have the "punched up" version of your resume that I create during the episode.
