Before You Apply
Most résumé tools try to make you look like a match. I'd rather help you find out if you are one.
Nothing made up.
Nothing goes on your résumé that you didn't do. If a line would need a number you didn't give me, I ask. I don't guess. On Braun Board it's checked in code, not just promised.
Curiosity before conclusions.
If the job wants something your résumé doesn't show, I ask before I assume. Plenty of sellers have done the thing and just never wrote it down.
Sorting, not selling.
Some jobs won't line up with what you've done. Finding that out before you apply isn't a loss. It's an hour back, spent on a job that fits.
No score.
A match score tells you how well you copied their words. It doesn't tell you whether you'd be good at the job, or happy there.
It's the same way I teach selling. We don't control who says yes. We do control where we spend our time, and whether everything we say is true.

Before You Apply
I'm thinking about applying for the job below. Before you rewrite anything, help me figure out if I'm actually a fit. 1. Where I'm strong: what the job needs that my résumé clearly shows. 2. Worth exploring: what the job wants that my résumé hints at without making clear. 3. Possible gaps: what the job requires that nothing on my résumé shows. Then ask me up to 3 questions about the things in 2 and 3. Ask whether I've done them and just didn't write them down. Don't assume I have. Rules: - Use only what my résumé and my answers say. Never add a skill, tool, title, number or result I didn't give you. - No match score or percentage. - If the core of the job is something I haven't done, tell me plainly. That's useful to know. After I answer, ask if I want a version of my résumé that makes my relevant experience easier to see, in the job's words. If yes, show each change as my original line, the rewrite, and the phrase from the job it matches. Job description: [paste] My résumé: [paste]
The test: could you talk about every line on your résumé for two minutes in an interview? If not, it doesn't belong there.
