Where is the line between a resume that positions you strongly and one that costs you the job on the first reference call?

In this episode I break down, from the headhunter's side of the table, what you are allowed to frame strategically on your resume, and what will reliably cost you the offer. Because the most common mistake among genuinely strong people in enterprise sales and cybersecurity is not the invented title. It is the opposite: honest, accurate resumes that hide their own value completely.

You will learn:

Which claims are verifiable and will collapse your offer instantly (degree, employers, dates, management responsibility).

Where legitimate translating starts and inventing ends, using your title, your numbers and your role on the deal.

Why top performers systematically sell themselves short, and how to write decisions instead of tasks.

How a hiring manager decides on your resume in six seconds, and what they are actually looking for.

How to frame employment gaps and short stints cleanly, without apologising or creating an inconsistency with LinkedIn.
