Create one résumé that gets the attention of both the ATS and the hiring manager
Leslie Grandy
Author, Global Product Executive
Every student receives a personal assessment of their résumé's throughline.
I will give you a real read of the story your resume tells on six different vectors, with actionable feedback. on what works, what blurs your signal, and what to change.
I have built teams across all levels and functions. I have read thousands of resumes. I know what makes a hiring manager stop and pay attention.
If you are using AI to match your resume to job descriptions, you likely no longer have a throughline at all. It prioritizes aligning language rather than building a coherent story.
A résumé that makes it through the ATS filter may tell the recruiter or hiring manager that you have the capability to do the job, but it may not tell them how you will show up on the job.
You need a resume that serves the ATS and the hiring manager. Not two different versions.
Some folks tend to treat the summary line as their positioning statement. But that summary line alone can’t tell your story. You need the evidence in each of the jobs listed below.
However, if your job descriptions and history are merely a catalog of your responsibilities and skills, and there is no proof of your initial claims, there is risk in moving you forward.
Reduce that risk by making your value proposition clear.
What you’ll learn
I'll assess your resume for the "golden thread" that makes you stand out so employers choose you. After the course, you will be able to:
Connect disparate experiences into a concise, compelling throughline that articulates how you consistently create value for an organization.
Use my story thinking worksheet to uncover the pattern of value you create across roles and build it into a clear, coherent arc.
Your assessment will highlight a disconnect, if it exists, between the type of role you are aiming for and the story your resume tells.
You will leave with a specific list of changes, not vague suggestions, that sharpen your story and make your value impossible to miss.

Product ManagerLeslie came out swinging in the best way possible. Not only did she introduce us to new frameworks, but she created a safe space to ask those types of questions that you might otherwise feel are too "introductory", "basic", etc.
