1:1 Resume Review & Skill Building

I've rejected more resumes than I've accepted. I know exactly which ones get a second look — and yours probably isn't one of them yet.

I've spent 11+ years across BlackRock, Morgan Stanley, and Nuveen, reviewing resumes from both sides — as someone hiring and someone job-hunting. Most finance resumes fail for the same reason: they list tasks instead of impact, and they don't speak the language of the role they're targeting.

A strong resume isn't about cramming in every skill you have. It's about proving you're the obvious fit for a specific kind of role. In this session we'll cover:

1. What to cut, and what to lead with, based on the role you're targeting.
2. How to translate day-to-day tasks into outcomes recruiters actually screen for.
3. The skill gaps worth naming honestly — and how to frame them as work in progress, not weaknesses.
4. A short, practical plan for building the 1-2 skills that would move the needle most.

Bring your current resume, the job descriptions you're targeting, and an open mind about what needs to go.
