Most people have no idea what recruiters actually see when they apply on LinkedIn.

Spoiler: Recruiters don’t see your profile the same way you do.

When you apply on LinkedIn, they get a condensed snapshot called a Candidate Card and it’s designed to help them filter you in or out in seconds.

This mini view includes:
✔️ Skills match
✔️ Experience summary
✔️ Activity level
✔️ If you're connected to anyone at the company
✔️ Your “likelihood to respond” score (yes, that’s a real thing)

Most of this is happening behind the scenes.
And if you don’t know how it works, you’re not giving yourself a fair shot.

So I turned this breakdown into a full carousel—
👉 Showing you what recruiters actually see
👉 What really matters
👉 And how to use it to your advantage

If this made you rethink how you show up on LinkedIn, repost this!
Too many qualified people are being overlooked for the wrong reasons.

Big thank you to Jessica Hernandez for sharing her awesome insights and inspiring this post. More job seekers need to hear this.

You might be perfect for the role,
but if your profile isn’t showing the right signals, you won’t even make the list.

Let’s change that.

She had over 15 years in sales and was always a top performer...
and she still got laid off.

When we started working together, she wasn’t sure how to explain her exit or if a new industry was even possible without starting from scratch.
I was up for the challenge, so --
We focused on what she already had: strong results, solid relationships, and the kind of resilience that doesn’t go unnoticed.

Within six weeks, she had five interviews and landed a role in a new industry, with better pay and less stress.

If you're trying to figure out what's next, you don’t have to do it alone.

If you know, you know.
And if you don’t, this is Buc-ee’s, the most iconic pit stop in Texas.

I snapped this pic with the Buc-ee’s mascot because it just made me smile.
But then I got to thinking 👇

Ever notice how Buc-ee’s is always consistent?
✅ Clean bathrooms
✅ Aisles stocked
✅ Hot coffee & fresh food
✅ Same vibe, every location

That’s what great leadership looks like, too:
Consistency. Clarity. Trust.
When people know what to expect from you, they trust you and feel confident investing in you.

And just like all good road trips include a pit stop at Buc-ee’s…
Top-tier performers and leaders include time to pause, pivot, and refuel throughout their career.

Whether you're mid-journey or mapping out your next chapter, strategy matters.

And yes, so do the snacks.

If you’re only applying to posted roles, you’re missing the majority of executive-level opportunities.

According to LinkedIn’s 2024 Global Talent Trends Report, 85% of executive roles are filled through networking and referrals.

Let that sink in.
Not job boards.
Not cold applications.
Networking. Referrals. Visibility.

A huge percentage of high-level roles are never publicly posted — they’re filled quietly, behind the scenes.

This is the hidden job market, and if you're serious about landing your next leadership role, you need to be thinking beyond just the resume.

✔ Relationships matter
✔ Visibility matters
✔ Being known for what you do best matters

What’s worked best for you: networking, referrals, or online applications? I’d love to hear.

My Chief Distraction Officer is cute, but he’s a tad clingy.
And he’s got strong opinions about my work-life balance.

I had a 20-minute time block set aside for emails.
Captain had… other plans.
So we negotiated.

🐶 He got a frozen treat that keeps him busy for 20 minutes
💻 I brought my laptop outside and went through my emails

Creative multitasking? Absolutely.
Still respecting my calendar? Somehow, yes.

It's not perfect, but I’m working on sticking to the time blocks I’ve set in my calendar.
(With a little help from the real boss of the house 🐶 )

Sometimes you just have to get creative. Find what works for you.
And let go of the idea that productivity has to look a certain way.

👉 What’s one way you’ve creatively protected your time or made multitasking work for you?
Drop it below. I need more ideas.

Resume rules are confusing.

Google says one thing. ChatGPT says another.
And all your coworker says is, "Sure, looks great!"
Suddenly you’ve got a 3-page resume with 27 skills and a Canva template that won’t even open.

Let’s clear up the confusion, please.

I’m Kristi and I'm back with Part 2 of “Resume Questions I Always Get Asked.”
These are the ones I see in my DMs, consults, and client convos every week.

👉 Should I list every job I’ve ever had?
👉 Can I use a creative resume template?
👉 Does my LinkedIn need to match my resume exactly?
👉 Should I list all my skills?

Swipe through the slides and if you're still unsure, reach out or consider investing in a resume audit from W.W.I.N.
Because your resume should make sense.
And you deserve to feel confident every time you apply.

I wrote a thousand resumes before I finally rewrote my life.
Now I want to do the same for you.
It’s been a minute, so let me reintroduce myself. 👋
I’m Kristi. Resume writer, career coach, LinkedIn fixer, and storyteller.

This past year, my life changed in a big way.
I moved to the Texas Gulf Coast and injected some balance into my daily routine.
I fish. I walk the beach. I play with our new puppy. And I help people like you.

And somewhere along the way, I realized:
I wasn’t just helping people land interviews and secure new roles.
✨ I was helping them figure out what they really wanted.
✨ Kind of like me when I first launched We Write it Now.

I realized some clients want a different pace and a better balance.
Some are looking for more meaning and less noise. I totally get that!

I’ve built my own business that reflects that same shift…
And if that’s what your soul is aching for, I’m ready to help.

I'm still Kristi — the writer and — but I’ve now added an extra layer of support into the mix: I’m also your .

So if you’re looking for:
✔ 1:1 coaching for career clarity + direction
✔ Support for burnout, overthinking, and “what now?” moments
✔ Strategy for figuring out your next move before you hit a wall
…I’ve got you.

In my last post, I shared how the job search landscape has changed over the past few years and what actions really moved the needle for the executive jobseekers in my network.

I closed with the fact that people gaining the most traction in their search are doubling down on having “conversations.”

In today’s post, I break down examples of how, when, and where you could be having those conversations.

And sure, you can figure out on your own what works and what doesn’t in today’s job market – but is that REALLY where you want to be spending your time?

Or would your time be better spent gaining clarity on how you want your next move to look?
Or warming up relationships in your current network?

If you’re ready to give the heavy lifting over to a professional career coach and résumé writer like me, book a consult and we can build a plan, together.

I once worked with an executive who never had to apply for a job before.

Sounds crazy, right?

Believe it or not, back in the day many professionals stayed with their organization for at least a decade. Sometimes their entire career.

So it makes sense if someone was hired right out of college and enjoyed where they were, they might stay for 20+ years…never needing a résumé.

Are you one of these leaders?

If so, I’m speaking to you.

The landscape has changed. Here’s what you need to know:

🔹Resumes remain important, but they aren’t the ONLY tool to land your next role.

🔹Optimized LinkedIn profiles are EQUALLY important as your résumé.

🔹Targeting and tailoring your résumé makes a huge difference.

🔹Networking trumps both the résumé and LinkedIn in today's oversaturated market.

The people I see gaining the most traction in their search are spending time having conversations with their current network AND expanding their network.

If you’ve been in the same role or company for decades, this process can feel overwhelming.

But with the right résumé, LinkedIn, and networking strategy, you’ll be ready.

👋 Reach out if you’re ready for support. I’d love to help you reduce your search time and land what’s next.

“I’m not a thought leader.”
That's what I heard from a recent client of mine.

She then proceeded to tell me about:
🔹 Speaking at industry events
🔹Publishing articles in respected journals
🔹Representing her organization in expert groups

So I asked her for her definition of a thought leader.
She nailed it.

My response back: “You just described what you’ve already been doing.”

Her eyes widened.
Lightbulb moment.

We updated her LinkedIn and career docs to reflect that specific expertise.

Soon after, she had three competing job offers — all from companies eager to bring her on board.

Here’s the lesson: if you are a thought leader and don’t show it, you’re likely selling yourself short.

And if you’re not yet there, intentionally building thought leadership can speed up your career climb.

Don’t wait until you’re job searching to elevate your brand or demonstrate your expertise.

The best time to start showing leadership in your ideas is NOW.

Need help doing that? Reach out, I'm here.

The job market is messy right now. Real messy.

My advice: Stop trying to make sense of it right now.

Instead, get strategic. Be intentional with your actions and activities that are IN your control.

Here are 4 MUST-DO's as you embark on your next career move:

🔹Get clear on your future role.
Think beyond the title. What responsibilities, culture, and impact do you want?

🔹Get curious about companies.
Which organizations align with your vision? Learn about their priorities and hiring outlook.

🔹Have conversations.
Talk to people in roles you want or at companies you admire. Ask questions, listen, and learn.

🔹Tailor your approach.
Use what you learn to position yourself strategically with your resume, messaging, and outreach.

Clarity, curiosity, and strategy will carry you farther than just applying everywhere. I promise.

It’s estimated that a job search in 2025 could easily cost you $20K+ 🤦🏻‍♀️

Take a look:

💥 The average search takes 5–7 months.

Let’s be conservative and go with 5 months.

💥 At a $75,000 salary, you earn about $300/day in a normal full-time role.

Five months = about 105 workdays.

105 workdays × $300/day = $31,500 in lost income.

That doesn’t even include lost benefits, retirement contributions, or stalled career growth.

👉 Every month unemployed = $6,300 lost (based on scenario above)

Now, think about this—if working with a professional resume writer shortens your search by just one month, you could earn back that $6,300.

And beyond the numbers?
My clients tell me how they feel more confident in both networking and interviewing situations with fresh career docs that speak to their experience, contributions, and value.

Confidence is priceless.

So, is it really “saving money” to do it yourself?
Or is it costing you more in the long run?

If you’re ready to invest in your future, let’s talk.
If not, I’ll still cheer you on. 👏
