I always like asking in an interview, “Is there anything about my resume or application that’s raising any concerns for you?” Gives you a chance to talk openly and address any presumptions the recruiter might have. It’s a disrupting question that often surprises people. And it allows you to talk up your successes or reasons why you’d be an ideal candidate while also talking about the elephant in the room.

Hi, been stuck in the contract analysis/review cycle. I have asked a few recruiters how to make a lateral move into in-house. They told me to focus on contract management, which I have been doing for the past year. Now that I have, are there any sites besides “jobscan” that I can use to make sure my resume fits the job descriptions? Does anybody know any recruiters that could help me, as well?
