So, You Wanna Be the Big Dog?

So, You Wanna Be the Big Dog? 🐾

Let me tell you how this conversation started:
"So, you wanna be the big dog?"
🙂

They had the ambition. The experience. The drive.
But the resume?

AI-written... and sadly, it showed.
Zero bites. No callbacks. Radio silence.

So I said:
"If you want to be the big dog, your career docs have to reflect that. If you'd like to send me your AI rez, I'll give you my honest opinion."

What I saw?
Generic. Flat. No strategy. No spark.

No nice way to say it—so I picked up the phone and told them the truth.

We reworked everything. Rewrote. Refocused.
✔ Aligned the resume with their goals
✔ Elevated their leadership voice
✔ Wrote with intention, proof, and purpose

And now?
Client is 2 for 2 on DIRECTOR-LEVEL roles.
In. One. Day.

That’s not luck. That’s strategy.
That’s storytelling.
That’s the difference a real resume writer makes.

Because if you’re ready to level up, your career documents need to sound like you already belong at the top.

AI can format.
I craft narratives that convert.

Take that, AI. 🤣
Let’s write like you’re the big dog—because you are.
