Just realized my resumes were dying in a stack of 214 applications until I changed one line
I sent out 63 applications over 5 weeks and got zero calls back, sitting at my kitchen table in Boise wondering what was wrong with me. Last Tuesday I rewrote my top line from 'Results driven professional' to 'I cut my old team's ticket backlog from 400 to 60,' and a recruiter emailed me 2 days later. Turns out people skim the first sentence and barely read the rest. Has anyone else figured out which one line actually gets a stranger to keep reading?
