Your resume

The part no one tells you

Your resume can be perfect. It may still never be read.

Everything above was the document. This is the door — and if you came here because you are not hearing back, this is the half of it nobody has told you about.

Qualified is only the entry ticket

Say twenty of those 244 are genuinely qualified, just like you. Nothing in an application separates you from the other nineteen.

A recruiter's job is to find enough people who meet the brief, not always the best one. The first to tick the boxes make the shortlist, and then the pile stops being read.

Apply late, and you were never in the running, however good you are.
