Today’s episode dives into a frustrating but all-too-common experience for job seekers — submitting dozens of resumes and hearing... nothing. Why are qualified candidates getting ghosted? And what exactly are recruiters — and the bots they use — really looking for?
To help us unpack this, I’m joined by Steph Cartwright, a Job Search Strategist, Certified Resume Writer, and the solopreneur behind Off The Clock Resumes. Since 2014, Steph has helped hundreds of job seekers break through barriers and get noticed, offering guidance on everything from resumes to LinkedIn strategy.
