Summary

In this episode, the panel (Aytuna Otto, Eduardo Silva, Emily Rappitt and Vaclav Sulista) explores resumes not as administrative documents, but as narratives of identity, intention, and transition. The conversation challenges the common belief that resumes are about listing responsibilities, emphasizing instead that they should communicate value, clarity, and direction.

Drawing from real hiring experiences, career transitions, and coaching conversations, the speakers discuss how resumes often fail—not because of formatting, but because they lack focus, honesty, and self-awareness. The episode highlights the importance of understanding what story you are telling, who you are telling it to, and why now.

The panel also addresses the role of AI and tools in resume writing, warning against generic optimization and over-engineering. Instead, they advocate for starting from a blank page, reflecting deeply on experience, and making intentional choices about what to include—and what to leave out.

Ultimately, the episode reframes the resume as a byproduct of clarity, not a shortcut to opportunity. A strong resume, the panel argues, emerges when people know themselves, their direction, and the value they want to bring next.
