Let me tell you something most career advisors won't admit: your resume isn't your problem.
I've reviewed hundreds of applications, and here's what I've learned—most job seekers are fighting the wrong battle. They obsess over font choices and bullet points while missing the three documents that actually get you hired.
The Real Job Search Game (It's Not What You Think)
The modern job search isn't about having one perfect resume. It's about having a system:
- An ATS-optimized resume that gets past the robots
- A compelling cover letter that connects with humans
- A follow-up strategy that keeps you top-of-mind
Miss any one of these, and you're essentially invisible—no matter how qualified you are.
Why Most Resumes Fail (Even Good Ones)
Here's a sobering stat: 75% of resumes never reach human eyes. They're filtered out by Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) that scan for keywords, formatting, and relevance.
Your beautifully designed resume with custom graphics? The ATS can't read it.
Your creative section headers? The system doesn't recognize them.
Your impressive experience buried in dense paragraphs? Overlooked.
The solution isn't just writing better—it's writing smarter.
The Cold Truth About SaaS Sales (And What It Teaches Job Seekers)
I spent years in SaaS sales, and here's what shocked me: the best salespeople aren't the smoothest talkers—they're the best researchers.
They use AI to:
- Personalize outreach at scale
- Identify pain points before the first call
- Craft messages that actually get responses
Now, here's the plot twist: job searching IS sales. You're selling yourself. And if SaaS teams are using AI to 10x their results, why aren't you?

Why I Created the Full Bundle
After giving away free templates for months, people kept asking: "Can you just give me the complete system?"
So I did. The Resume ATS + Cover Letter Bundle includes:
- Plug-and-play templates optimized for ATS
- Industry-specific examples (tech, marketing, sales, design)
- My exact editing checklist used by 500+ job seekers
For those in SaaS sales, I also created AI Prompts for Cold Email that help you:
- Generate personalized outreach in seconds

- A/B test messaging variations
And the Notion Job Search Template keeps everything organized—applications, networking contacts, interview prep, and follow-ups in one place.
The Mindset Shift That Changes Everything
Here's what I wish someone told me earlier: job searching isn't about luck—it's about system design.
The people who land great roles fast aren't smarter or more qualified. They have:
- Documents that pass ATS filters
- Messages that stand out in crowded inboxes
- A repeatable process they can execute daily
You don't need to reinvent the wheel. You need to use wheels that already work.
Take Action Today
Start with the free resources. Implement the frameworks. If you want the complete system, the paid bundles are there.
But most importantly: stop treating your job search like a lottery and start treating it like a campaign.
