Hint: it has something to do with how you approach the things in your life (aka word games or looking for something in your pantry).

The best problem solvers aren't necessarily the smartest people in the room.

They're the ones who know how to look: differently, simply, and without defaulting to the most complicated answer.]]>Mon, 13 Jul 2026 13:00:00 GMThttps://www.saracurto.ca/careercoachblog/the-2026-resume-how-to-use-ai-to-stand-out-not-blend-in2026 has seen a lot of changes when it comes to the resume and the job search.
And I don’t want to point fingers, but AI is largely to blame.

Because people are using AI to fully write their resumes in the hopes of getting an interview.

But the problem is AI resumes slow down the process drastically. Number one because there are so many of them and number two because they all read the same! One of my leadership clients recently read 80 resumes that all sounded like the same person.

Now I’m not saying not to use AI because it is a tool that helps us navigate the Applicant Tracking System quickly and efficiently. But it’s forgetting about the human that makes the decision on interviews.

In this video, I’m going to talk about why AI is stopping you from getting interviews, and how to actually use it to stand out and get your calendar booked up!

And I was a recruiter. 
I thought that no one would hire someone like me when the world was full of hiring freezes. 
But that lay off was the best thing to happen to me. I had great results, but also the foundation of my approach to job seeking was born then.
Especially these 3 key lessons that set me up for success.  Ones that have set my clients up for success all these years later.
It’s a must watch.
