Most people think they aren't getting interviews because they lack experience.

I rarely find that to be the real problem.

The bigger issue is that their CV doesn't make the relevant experience obvious.

Example:

Managed product roadmap.

But better placed...

Owned product strategy and roadmap for a marketplace serving 8M monthly users, leading initiatives that increased lead conversion by 20%.

Same person.

Same experience.

Completely different perception.

Some other patterns I see frequently:

• Listing responsibilities instead of outcomes
• Using generic titles without context
• Burying relevant experience under less relevant experience
• Applying with the exact same CV to every role
• Assuming recruiters read every bullet point

I'm curious:

What's the biggest challenge you've faced when updating your resume?
