Aiight this is how you show off on your resume.

Too many people waste space listing what they were “responsible for” instead of showing what they actually did. That’s why so many strong candidates get passed over. What makes a resume stand out is proof of impact.

Here are better before-and-after examples across different roles, with a mix of metrics, scale, and outcomes.
Software Engineer

Before: Responsible for building new features
After: Built and launched a new payment module that handled over 120K transactions a week and shaved 20 seconds off the checkout flow

Before: Fixed bugs in production
After: Tracked down and resolved a memory leak issue that stabilized the platform and pushed uptime to 99.8%
DevOps Engineer

Before: Managed CI/CD pipelines
After: Automated deployments, cutting release time from 45 minutes to under 10 and allowing multiple daily releases

Before: Handled server monitoring
After: Built a new monitoring setup that cut downtime incidents nearly in half within a single quarter

Several different ways to flip the script on Recruiters when they ask you “What’s the salary you’re targeting” so you dont low ball yourself in an interview
“Happy to have that conversation, can you share what the role is budgeted for?”
“I’m more focused on finding the right fit and opportunity. I’m confident we can land on a number that reflects the value I bring.”

Here’s the blueprint I walk my clients through when they want to start landing consistent interviews — two to three a month — without wasting time on hope-based strategies.

We start by picking three job titles that actually make sense for their current skills and work history. Then we build three versions of their resume, one for each role
No rewriting the resume for every application. No running prompts through ChatGPT hoping for the best. They only apply to jobs that check their four boxes: salary, title, job type, and location. If a posting doesn’t hit all four, they move on.

From there, we treat it like a sales process.
Find jobs early.
Most people are applying too late. If a job’s been live for over a week, the first round of interviews is probably already booked.

To find fresh listings, I show them how to search company career pages directly through Google:

Prepare for Common Interview Questions: Questions like "Tell me about yourself," "Where do you see yourself in five years?" and "What's your biggest weakness?" are commonly asked. Prepare for them.

A thread on how to answer them.
"Tell me about yourself"

Think of answering this as "Why are you here" and keep it professional: This is not an invitation to share your life story or personal details. Stick to discussing your professional background, experiences, and skills relevant to the job.
Highlight key accomplishments. Discuss some of your biggest professional achievements that demonstrate your ability to do the job.
Be concise: Aim for a response that's no more than one to two minutes long.

If your resume still sounds like a job description, that’s your first problem.

Here’s how to use the XYZ formula to flip weak, vague bullets into cold, hard proof that you get results. Let’s talk about what it is, how to use it right, and how to diversify your metrics so every line hits.

This is how I write Resumes.

This is for people who are tired of blending in.
What’s the XYZ formula?

It’s simple:

Did X
by doing Y
which resulted in Z

That’s it.

It forces you to be clear about your impact, not just your responsibilities. No fluff. No filler. Just results.
And I need to say this loud and clear:

Stop leaning on percentages like they’re the only way to show value.

Every bullet on your resume shouldn’t end in “increased by X%” or “reduced by Y%.”

There are so many other ways to measure impact:

You want to know how I can tell a cover letter was written by ChatGPT?

It’s not the spelling. It’s not the structure.

It’s the words that show up over and over.

Here’s shit to avoid if you dont want people to instantly know you’re using AI 🧵
First off, kill the dashes “-“ and semi colons, outright say in your prompt to have them removed.

Same goes for emojis.
Avoid these

“Delve”
“Deep dive”
“Tapestry”
“Holistic”
“In the age of…”
“Navigate into the future”
“Make the world a better place”

These are dead giveaways.
