Not Getting Interviews? Here's the Real Reason Why.

_{READ TIME - 4 MINUTES}

Let’s cut to the chase.

If you’ve been applying for jobs and hearing crickets, it’s not because you’re not qualified or that your resume isn’t packed with experience.

It is because hiring managers are looking for one thing—

...and it’s usually missing from the applications of talented job seekers like you.

Clarity.

It’s that simple.

I've reviewed thousands of resumes.

Most don’t make it crystal-flipping-clear how their skills translate to the exact role they want.

Not you, though. You're too cool to make that mistake.

But just in case, I'll leave this here...

Here’s how to fix your 'clarity' problem:

1/ Match Your Experience to the Job Description

DO NOT fill your resume with general accomplishments.

I know, you're amazing, and you have so much to showcase!

I mean, who wouldn't want a utility player?!

Still, just stick to the job description.

Trust me on this one...

DO use keywords from the job description and show exactly how your past work aligns with what the company needs right now.

You’re not just a teacher or an administrator—figure out what they need, show them that you have those transferable skills, and start making promises.

2/ Focus on Impact, Not Just Duties.

It’s not about what you did; it’s about the results.

Think in terms of “X for Y which resulted in Z.”

For example,

“Championed a district-wide initiative to integrate digital learning tools, which was adopted by 15 schools and enhanced the learning experience for over 10,000 students”

translates your skills into language that resonates rather than bores.

3/ Get a Second Set of Eyes

We often miss what’s right in front of us.
