everything's broken w/ mike peditto
guest: mike peditto, recruiter, director of talent, and creator known online as realistic recruiting
- focus applications on roles where you are a true top match instead of mass applying to everything you are loosely qualified for
- skip the generic resume summary and use a clear headline at the top that instantly shows your role, skills, and industry fit
- make sure your most important skills and achievements appear in the first third of your resume since recruiters scan fast
- the ats is not an ai robot auto rejecting people, its a filing system where a human still searches and decides
- when reaching out to a recruiter or hiring manager, be specific about why you match that exact role instead of sending a generic message
