Build an ATS-proof resume [7/27/2026] (Recording)

After this session, you'll know how to structure and keyword-optimize your resume so it clears automated screening systems without reading like a keyword dump. We'll cover how ATS parsers actually rank candidates, which formatting choices quietly disqualify strong applicants, and how to align your resume language to job descriptions in a way that holds up to human review. Attending live means you can bring your specific industry, role level, or career gap and hear how those details change the approach, context a recording cannot replicate. The coach works with candidates on this every week and will share the patterns that consistently separate resumes that move forward from those that quietly disappear.

Resume Revolution: The ATS-Proof Blueprint [8/18/2026] (Recording)

Your resume isn't failing because you're not qualified. It's failing before a human ever sees it. Applications per hire have tripled since 2021. Only 2-3% of applications reach the interview stage, and the ones that do aren't necessarily the most qualified. They're the best ranked. Resume Revolution is a live workshop built around the three layers of a resume that actually converts: Beat the Bots: How ATS systems rank resumes and how to optimize for the search engine, not just avoid the shredder. Impress the Human: The 10-second F-pattern scan. What your top one-third must answer to keep a recruiter reading. The X-Y-Z Formula: Stop describing duties. Start showing outcomes. The framework for turning your work history into quantified business value. We close with a live resume audit, applying the blueprint to real profiles in real time. You'll leave with a clear action plan to rewrite your format, your bullets, and your keyword strategy before your next application goes out. Stop applying to the black hole. Start architecting your offer.
