This space… "YOUR HEADLINE" is the place to attract Recruiters/Hiring Managers | 500+ LinkedIn Client Recommendations | 👉 Jobseekers get better jobs quicker by working with me | Macro Influencer | Outplacement Services

I have helped 278 middle management & C-suite professionals land new careers over the past 8 months. 

Removing the frustration that jobseekers have while applying for job after job, and only getting those darn rejection emails, is what makes setting that alarm for 5am (or sometimes 4am) all worth it.  

I have also been there and done that over and over...

-	I've been that frustrated jobseeker 
-	doing all the wrong things
-	applying for hundreds and hundreds of jobs 
-	getting Ghosted for months and months 


Until I learned… 

-	what to do... but more importantly what not to do
-	how to properly network on LinkedIn 
-	it’s all about applying for targeted jobs 
-      you must have a resume that gets past the ATS 
-	how to get noticed and land that new career 

My previous experience as a Hiring Manager - Grass Roots Recruiter – and Decades of Interviewing have allowed me to craft resumes that tell “your story”.

Let’s face it… searching for a new career should not be stressful but it can and will be without the right tools. And those tools better be sharp…

So, what are those tools???

1)	Resume 
2)	LinkedIn 
3)	Networking 

I will provide you those tools and teach you how to keep them sharp for your entire working career. 

Allowing you to go from rejected to recruited.

Identifying what my clients' strengths are while probing my clients for what they really enjoy doing allows me to craft “their story” and I know how-to best position jobseekers by leveraging LinkedIn and getting you noticed by recruiters. 

And jobseekers get better jobs quicker... by working with me.

Honest question for jobseekers 👇

How many times did you have to attack your résumé with edits before it finally felt right — and started getting responses?

Was it one small tweak… or a full rewrite (or three)?

Or maybe you are still struggling?????

Which one is it?

#resumetips #careers #jobinterviews #bestweekever

Watching a machine play the guitar in public is a powerful reminder of where the world of work is heading.

Yes, AI and automation will make some roles obsolete.

Just like machines replaced certain factory jobs, switchboards, and even some accounting tasks.

But here’s the part most people miss:

AI isn’t only a job taker. It’s also a career accelerator for those who know how to use it.

The professionals who will win in this new era are the ones who learn how to:
• Use AI to work faster
• Make better decisions
• Analyze data more effectively
• Communicate more clearly
• Automate low-value tasks
• Focus their time on strategy, creativity, and leadership


Just like a guitarist who uses technology to enhance their sound, not replace their talent, your value grows when you learn to work with AI instead of competing against it.

The future doesn’t belong to those who fear AI.

It belongs to those who learn how to leverage it.

How are you leveraging it in your job?

Ever seen a duck laying on its back, using its feet to play the drums? 🦆🥁

You don’t forget it… because it’s different.

That’s exactly how your resume should work.

In a sea of “same-looking” resumes, the ones that stand out are the ones that show personality, clarity, and uniqueness. Your resume should highlight what makes you different, not just what makes you “qualified.”

And this is where a cover letter becomes your secret weapon.

Your resume shows what you’ve done.

Your cover letter explains how and why you’re different.


It tells your story, connects the dots, and showcases the skills, experiences, and mindset that no template can fully capture.


Be the duck playing drums.


Unexpected. Memorable. Impossible to ignore.


Does your cover letter share How and Why you’re different?

Mid-workout. Headphones on. Sweat going. 💪

Then the phone rings… 📱

A client:
“David, my resume isn’t getting any traction. I think the ATS bots are blocking me.”

Game over for leg day.

Time to switch to hero mode. 🦸‍♂️🤖

Because the ATS doesn’t care if you’re in the office, at the beach, or at the gym. It’s still scanning, filtering, and deciding who gets seen by human eyes. 

And when my clients call, the mission is always the same: step in, break down the job description, rework the keywords, fix the formatting, strengthen the story, and make sure their resume is built to beat the bots.

Whether I’m lifting weights or lifting careers, I’m always ready for the fight.

So, tell me… is your resume strong enough to go toe-to-toe with the ATS, or is it time to call in backup? 💥📄

Job searching can feel incredibly isolating.

You’re applying.

 You’re networking.

 You’re doing “all the right things.”

And still… silence.

That’s why I built The Career Accelerator Community—a private space for job seekers who want support, clarity, and real connections while navigating their next career move.

Inside the community, members gain:

 • Practical guidance
 • Honest feedback
 • Proven networking strategies
 • A group of professionals who actually understand the process


You don’t have to do this alone.

If you’re looking for momentum instead of guesswork, comment COMMUNITY or send me a DM.

That colorful seashell video is awesome 🌈 — but your résumé isn’t the place to treat color the same way.

Here’s why adding color to your résumé often isn’t a smart move:

ATS can’t admire design
 -Applicant Tracking Systems don’t care how pretty a résumé looks. Color, graphics, and text boxes can confuse the system and cause key experience or keywords to be missed.

Color doesn’t equal clarity
 -Hiring managers want fast answers: What did you do? How well did you do it? Color can distract from results instead of highlighting them.

Printing still happens
-Many résumés get printed in black and white. What looked “clean” on screen can turn muddy or unreadable on paper.

It can send the wrong signal
 -Unless you’re applying for a design or creative role, color can come across as trying to compensate for experience instead of showcasing it.

Simple scales better
 -A clean, black-and-white résumé is easier to scan, easier to parse, and easier to adapt across roles and industries.

Color is perfect for seashells, sunsets, and Instagram.

 Your résumé should focus on one thing only: getting you the interview.

Jobseekers — is your résumé designed to look good… or to get past the system and into a hiring manager’s hands?

A well-crafted resume is your ticket to securing interviews and landing your dream job. While listing job duties is common, focusing on achievements instead can truly set your resume apart. 


In this newsletter, we’ll dive into strategies for writing impactful, achievement-focused bullet points and how my LinkedIn optimization course can also help you create a resume that shines.

Why Achievement-Focused Bullet Points Matter

Recruiters and hiring managers look for resumes that demonstrate value. Achievement-focused bullet points:

Highlight your contributions and the results you’ve achieved.
Show how you can add value to a potential employer.

Make your resume more memorable and compelling.

Resume Tips and Advice: Writing Achievement-Focused Bullet Points

Office politics thrives in proximity.

Not because people are bad—but because proximity amplifies ego, visibility games, hallway narratives, and who’s “seen” versus who’s actually delivering.

Remote work quietly removed a lot of that noise.

When work becomes output-based instead of presence-based, something powerful happens:

 • Performance matters more than politics
 • Clarity beats rumor
 • Results beat optics
 • Contribution beats proximity to power

The best remote teams I’ve seen don’t win by who talks the most in meetings.

 They win by who ships, solves, and supports.


By forcing a full return to office, many employers are unintentionally re-introducing:

 • Distraction over focus

 • Hierarchy over collaboration

 • Visibility bias over true impact

 • Politics over productivity


And they’re losing access to:

 • Global talent

 • Neurodiverse thinkers who thrive in low-stimulus environments

 • Parents, caregivers, and high performers who produce best with flexibility

 • Deep work, not performative work


Culture isn’t built by sharing air.

 It’s built by shared purpose, psychological safety, and trust in outcomes.

Office presence can support culture.

 But it doesn’t create it.

Results do.


So, here’s the real question for leaders in 2026:

Are you measuring commitment by who’s in the building… or by who’s actually moving the business forward?

New year. New chapter. New opportunity.

2026 isn’t about “hoping” something changes — it’s about deciding it will.
 
A new role. A new industry. A new level of confidence walking into interviews.

This is the year you stop waiting to be discovered and start positioning yourself to be chosen.

 
Your resume, your LinkedIn, your story — they all need to tell a future-focused narrative, not just a past one.

The job market will reward clarity, courage, and consistency.
 
Not perfection. Not luck. Action.

So let me ask you:

 
What are you doing right now to jump into the career you want in 2026?

Why Your LinkedIn Profile Photo Matters

Your photo is your first impression—before anyone reads your headline, summary, or experience.

❌ What not to do:

 • Cropped wedding or vacation photos
 • Group shots where people can’t tell who you are
 • Sunglasses, hats, car selfies, or low-resolution images
 • Poor lighting that makes you look tired or unapproachable

✅ What works:

 • A clear, professional head-and-shoulders shot
 • Neutral background and natural light
 • Confident, approachable expression
 • Attire that matches your industry level

People connect with people, not profiles.
 
Your photo sets the tone for credibility, trust, and approachability.

What do you think of my new profile photo?

When you hear the mesmerizing sound of a glacier underwater, it’s a reminder that the most profound things aren’t always visible on the surface. 

Similarly, a well-crafted cover letter dives beneath your resume’s facts. 

It’s where you reveal what hiring managers don’t know yet—your motivations, your passions, and how you align with the company’s mission. 

It’s your opportunity to show how your unique story makes you a perfect fit. 

So, what’s something about yourself that your resume doesn’t reveal, but would make you stand out in a cover letter?
