Comment your next move: IC → Manager, Manager → Director, or Director → VP.

One of the easiest mistakes to make when you’re trying to move up is choosing the accomplishment that sounds the most impressive instead of the one that best proves you’re ready for the next level.

Those are not always the same thing.

A huge budget, a big team, or a massive number can absolutely show that you were successful. But success at your current level does not automatically tell someone you’re ready to operate at the next one.

That’s why I want you to look at your accomplishments differently.

Don’t just ask, “Which one sounds biggest?”

Ask, “Which one gives the clearest evidence that I was already thinking, deciding, influencing, and operating beyond the level I was in?”

That shift matters.

Because when you’re trying to move up, your résumé is not just documenting what you’ve done.

It’s helping someone decide what level they believe you can handle next.

You can remove your graduation year, but if your résumé goes back to Blockbuster, recruiters can still do the math. 😂

Age bias is real. But the answer is not trying to erase every sign that you have experience.

It is making sure your experience feels relevant to the job you want now.

Anything from the 20th century should come off your résumé. For the older roles that remain, every job does not need equal space. The more recent and relevant the experience, the more detail it should get.

Your résumé should make it easy to see:

✔️ The problems you solve
✔️ The level you operate at
✔️ Why your experience matters today

The goal is not to look younger. It is to make your value look current.

Send this to an experienced professional who has been trying to hide their experience instead of positioning it.

One of the biggest mistakes I see experienced professionals make is assuming every piece of job search advice applies to them.

It doesn’t.

The problem isn’t that there’s too little advice. It’s that there’s too much of it, and much of it is contradictory.

Before you change your résumé for the fifth time or completely overhaul your job search strategy, ask yourself one question:

What evidence do I have that this is my problem?

Because if you’re solving the wrong problem, even the best advice won’t get you the results you’re looking for.

Sometimes you don’t need more advice. You need clarity about what is actually keeping you from getting hired.

👇🏾 What’s one piece of job search advice you’ve been told over and over again? Leave it in the comments.

One of the hardest parts of this job market is that after enough applications, rejections, and silence, even highly qualified people can start questioning themselves.

Repeated disappointment can make you forget what you know about yourself. It can make you wonder whether your experience still matters or whether you have somehow fallen behind.

If that is where you are right now, remember this:

This market may be difficult, but difficulty does not equal deficiency.

You are still experienced.
You are still valuable.
And you are still capable of landing the right role.

Do not let a hard season rewrite how you see yourself.

If this resonated, leave a 💛 in the comments.

The ATS may be part of the process, but blaming the system can keep you from fixing what you can actually control: making your fit clear.

Be honest: have you ever assumed the ATS rejected you before a person saw your résumé? Tell me what happened in the comments

I don’t know who needs to hear this…

…but getting rejected doesn’t always mean you were the wrong candidate.

Sometimes it means you answered a question the hiring team wasn’t asking.

Here’s what I mean.

A hiring manager asks:

“What attracted you to this role?”

Most candidates answer something like:

“I’m looking for growth, a new challenge, and an opportunity to make a bigger impact.”

That’s not a bad answer.

But it might not be the answer the hiring manager was looking for.

They may have been trying to answer a completely different question:

“If we invest in this person, are they likely to stay?”

Same interview question.

Completely different objective.

That’s why interviewing isn’t just about having good answers.

It’s about understanding what the hiring team is really trying to learn.

Once you start listening for that…

your answers change.

And so do your results.

I’m curious…what’s one interview question you’ve answered dozens of times but still aren’t sure what they’re really asking? 👇🏾

You’re qualified. But that doesn’t mean you’re worried about the right thing.

That’s why I created this series: You’re Worried About the Wrong Thing.

Each episode, we’re tackling one of the biggest concerns I hear from experienced corporate professionals and separating what’s possible from what’s actionable. I’ll validate the concern, explain what the hiring team may actually be seeing, and help you focus on what you can control instead of spinning your wheels over what you can’t.

Episode 1: Was it a ghost job?

Ghost jobs exist. But before you spend three business days trying to solve the mystery, let’s talk about what actually deserves your attention.

Mid-senior level corporate professionals. Here’s something most career coaches won’t tell you. After 17 years leading a recruiting team and training the hiring managers who make these decisions every day, I can tell you what actually kills qualified candidates’ job searches in today’s market. It is not AI and contrary to popular belief, it is not the ATS.

It’s perception.

Recruiters spend 6 seconds on your resume before they decide whether to keep reading. In those 6 seconds, they are not evaluating your experience. They are scanning for three signals: scope, ownership, and impact. Miss any one of those signals and you sound one level below what you actually are. That’s why candidates with 10, 15, 20 years of real experience are getting ghosted while candidates with less experience are getting interviews.

On June 3rd at 7:00 PM EST, I’m running a free 90-minute workshop called The Positioned to Land Method. I’m going to walk you through the three keys I use with my private clients to close that perception gap: The Target Role Reset, The Scope-Ownership-Impact Framework, and The First-Impression Interview Protocol.

You’ll walk out with a clear diagnosis of how you’re being seen right now — and exactly what to change. Live attendees get my Target Role Reset Worksheet as a bonus.

Qualified. Experienced. And still getting ghosted.

If that describes where you are right now, I need to tell you something from the other side of the hiring table. After 17 years leading a recruiting team and training the hiring managers who make these decisions, I can tell you that most qualified candidates are not getting passed over because they’re unqualified. They’re getting passed over because their materials and their interview delivery are signaling one level below where they actually are.

Three keys: The Target Role Reset, The Scope-Ownership-Impact Framework, and The First-Impression Interview Protocol.

People ask me all the time
“How do I figure out what I want to do next?”

And the truth is
you don’t start with the job

You start with your life

How do you want your mornings to feel
Do you want to take your kids to school
Have slow starts
Build something of your own
Be more present with your family

Most people skip this part
They jump straight into job titles and applications

But if you don’t get clear on your life
you’ll keep choosing roles that don’t fit it

At some point
you have to sit with yourself
and actually think

If you’re in that place right now
start there before you start applying
