What this page will do for you
From Resume to Real You: The New Way to — here's the straightforward, no‑fluff version. You’ll see what matters, how to act this week, and how WisGrowth’s honest ATS and Clarity Quiz fit in.
We’ll translate bridging keyword‑fit and person‑fit in applications into a weekly plan you can actually follow. No jargon. No hacks.
Signals, not noise
Most career advice collapses into generic tips. Signals are different: they are observable, repeatable, and useful for decisions.
You only need three categories of signals each week: (1) Skills proven, (2) Value created, (3) Fit feedback received.
Track them lightly. Improve them by 10–20% per sprint. That’s it.
Tools you can use right now
A simple weekly sprint (Mon–Sun)
Mon: Define one outcome you can demo by Sunday (demo = a thing you can show).
Tue–Thu: Build the smallest version. Ask one person for feedback (tip: someone who hires for the role you want).
Fri: Tighten résumé bullets to reflect the new proof. Use the Resume Keyword Scanner to spot gaps.
Sat: Apply to 5–10 roles that actually match your signals. Avoid spam‑applying to 50+.
Sun: Write a 10‑line weeknote. What worked? What to repeat?
Resume proof > resume polish
Formatting matters for ATS, but proof beats polish. Every line should answer: what changed because you were there?
Pair the ATS Compatibility Test with one new artifact each week: a repo, a demo video, a small case study.
If you’re changing careers
Don’t pick a ‘forever’ path. Pick a 6‑week learning sprint with a real outcome.
Borrow credibility with public artifacts, not buzzwords.
Use the Clarity Quiz to pinpoint drivers; then choose a project that exercises those drivers on real problems.
For midlife professionals
You’re not starting from zero. You’re re‑packaging compounding assets: pattern recognition, reliability, and stakeholder fluency.
Translate them to the new domain with a portfolio of 3 compact case stories (context → action → outcome → proof link).
Metrics that won’t lie to you
• Interviews per 10 targeted applications
• Replies per 5 founder/manager outreach messages
• New proof items added this week (repo, loom, write‑up)
• Resume ATS pass score vs human readability (don’t chase 99/100 if it makes the story robotic)
FAQs — quick answers
- How do I know if my week created real progress?
- You can show something to a hiring manager and explain why it matters. If you can’t demo it in 2 minutes, it wasn’t progress.
- What ATS score should I aim for?
- Aim for a clean pass with key keywords covered (usually 70–85). Past that, improve proof and clarity, not raw score.
- How often should I switch paths while exploring?
- Commit in 6‑week blocks. Review with data. Switch only if you learned enough to make a better bet.
- What if I have gaps or a non‑linear story?
- Own it, show the work, and connect the dots with outcomes. Honest > inflated; proof beats perfection.
