49 essays on resumes, ATS, and the craft of getting hired.

Most resume advice on the internet is written for search engines, not for people applying to jobs. We started this blog because the gap between what recruiters actually look for and what job seekers are told to do had become indefensibly wide.

Every article here is written by someone who has either screened resumes at scale (Priya, ex-Naukri) or sat on the hiring side at a product company (Rahul, ex-TCS engineering). No generic templates, no chatbot filler. If an article recommends a phrase or a format, it's because we've seen it work in a real pipeline.

The archive is organised by section below — start with The ATS Desk if you're getting ghosted, or By Role if you already have a target job in mind. Everything is free to read.
