Swapping out buzzwords for measurable outcomes helped me a lot. For example, changing “led marketing campaigns” to “led 3 campaigns that increased qualified leads by 40%.” Simple tweaks like that made a noticeable difference in recruiter replies.

I made mine shorter. I had all 27 years of my work experience on my resume and I think I really underestimated how bad ageism has become. I cut it down to about nine years of work history and started getting calls.

When you recruiters say at the end of a 15 min call.
“I will get back to you by the end of this week” does that really mean “your not right for this position”? Because this whole thing is a waste of time. I’ve did these calls with 3 recruiters and is yet to hear back from someone. Today would be the 4th recruiter that I’ve spoken to. Does this practice annoy you guys just as much as it does us? My dream career is to be a technical recruiter but this whole thing is discouraging.
