Your Resume Has One Job:
Make Someone Want to Talk to You.
Most resumes fail at this. Not because the person isn't impressive, but because the format buries the impact. This guide changes that, in seven parts.
The Executive Summary.
How to write something nobody else could paste onto their resume. Your first three lines determine whether anyone reads the rest.
The Impact Formula.
Turn responsibilities into measurable outcomes.
Architecture and Scanability.
Design for the 6-second recruiter scan: what the eye sees first, where the numbers go, and how white space works harder than most bullet points.
The Numbers Rule.
How to quantify everything in HR, even the things that feel unquantifiable: culture, retention, leadership development.
Signal Management.
What your career pattern says about you, and how to control the narrative: gaps, short tenures, lateral moves. Every data point tells a story. Make sure it's the one you intend.
Three Resume Versions.
One resume never fits every opportunity. Build versions for the CHRO track, the specialist track, and the growth-company track.
The 10-Point Self-Audit Checklist.
Score your own resume before anyone else does. Any box you can't check tells you exactly where to focus.
