I was sending out 50 resumes a week and getting zero calls back
My friend finally looked at my resume and said, 'Patricia, this is just a list of tasks, not what you actually did.' I had been listing my old job duties like 'managed social media' for three years. She made me add numbers, like 'grew our Instagram following by 15% in six months.' I sent out ten resumes with the new version last Monday and got three interview requests by Friday. The difference was crazy. Has anyone else had a moment like that where a simple resume fix changed everything?

Honestly, how bad was my old resume if it made a grocery list look impressive?
