Episode #142. Why your resume sounds weak

How to Write a Better Resume (and Sound More Confident Doing It). If your resume isn’t resonating with recruiters and landing interviews, the problem might not be your professional experience but your tone of voice in communicating it.

In this episode, we’ll unpack how to write a better resume that sounds personal, confident, and persuasive. You’ll learn how to infuse your personal brand through every line, swap passive for powerful language, and turn vague claims made in your resume into compelling career evidence.

Whether you’re updating your LinkedIn, refreshing your professional bio, or applying for your next big role, these resume writing tips will help you:

- Avoid a robotic resume or generic copy that sounds like AI
- Write with an active voice in your resume that shows confidence and control

- Back up your achievements with results that speak for themselves

- Sound self-assured — without overselling

- Bring your personal brand to life on paper

Your resume isn’t a record of your past, it’s a reflection of your professional potential.
