Your Résumé Might Be Costing You Interviews. And It’s Not Your Fault.

In 2017, a woman named Rhonda was laid off from a government contract she had supported for nearly nine years. She had led two reorganizations, trained five managers, and implemented a compliance overhaul that saved her department $400,000. Her résumé? “Responsible for managing administrative processes.” She applied to 41 jobs. She got three callbacks. None of them paid more than what she made five years ago.

Rhonda’s story isn’t rare. It’s a symptom of a deeper truth:

Most resumes don’t fail because of typos.
They fail because they tell the wrong story

The Silent Bias Hidden in Every Résumé

A study by the Wharton School of Business revealed that women of color use achievement-oriented language 33% less often than white male peers, even when their results are stronger. Why?

Because the traditional resume was never designed to capture transformation.

It was designed to reinforce titles.

And for people like Rhonda, and like you, titles have always told an incomplete story.

Let’s be honest:

You’ve survived layoffs.

You’ve led teams while grieving.

You’ve carried the load at work, at home, in systems that didn’t even acknowledge your brilliance.

Your résumé should reflect that.

Not in buzzwords. Not in generic fluff.

In truth.

Because you're not "detail-oriented" or a "strong communicator."

You're a builder. A fixer. A quiet revolution wrapped in resilience.
