LIVE: Free Resume Review - Does Your Story Hold Up in an AI-Driven World? [3/25/2026] (Recording)

AI didn't just change how we work — it changed how we're evaluated. Recruiters are drowning in AI-generated resumes that all sound the same, and the candidates winning roles aren't the ones who used AI the best. They're the ones who knew how to position themselves so clearly that no tool could replicate it. In this free live session, I'll be reviewing resumes on the spot and helping you answer the question most professionals are quietly panicking about: does my story still land in a world where everyone looks polished on paper? Who this is for: Professionals navigating career transitions, pivots, or re-entry who feel like their experience is strong but their resume isn't landing. If you've been wondering whether AI is working for you or against you, this session is your answer. To get your resume reviewed live: Submit it when you register by DMing me. I'll select a handful for live feedback during the session — everyone else walks away with a framework they can apply immediately.
