Is it true when they say, "A strong resume gets attention, but a strong story gets the job"? I find it hard to even believe things are being seen by human eyes these days. Do recruiters actually want to understand the impact behind your work, or just see a bunch of accomplishments?

It's both. If you want to get your resume in front of a human being, you have to make sure you cater to the AI software that is going to see your application first. You have to make sure you include the right buzzwords and years of experience. It also has to be a resume that, when it is read by a person, still reads human rather then keyword-packed nonsense. It can be a difficult balance.

My AD coworker (not currently my partner) just got hired at a new agency and wants to bring me along as his writer. I'd love to join. He told the recruiter at that agency about me and sent my book. I also have another former coworker (creative) who put in a good word for me.

Should I reach out to the recruiter, too? Or is that overkill after two recos? I don't want to be bothersome. But I do want to show interest..

This all happened on Friday, if that matters. Thanks!
