The 2026 Resume - How to Use AI to Stand Out, Not Blend In

7/13/2026

0 Comments

 
2026 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!

3 Lessons from getting laid off

6/15/2026

0 Comments

 
I got laid off in 2009. A time very similar to this. It was the Great Recession, lay offs were happening everywhere.
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.

We often don’t think we need to worry about something until we have reason to.
It often means we don’t prepare for what could happen.


Like a lay off.

The thing is, getting laid off feels like a shock to the system. It can take some time to wrap your head around the fact that it even happened.
So if you think there is any chance it could happen to you, then you must watch this video as I tell you what you can do NOW to prepare for that worst case scenario.
So if it happens, you’re not starting from scratch. You’re just picking up the momentum.
