Follow for posts on getting hired & hiring better | CEO @ Lander Talent | IT + ERP + Digital Transformation | People > Buzzwords

Before I helped people get hired, I helped them get famous.

I cast 250+ episodes of reality TV for:

Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, HBO Max.

Now I help overlooked tech talent get hired.
And help hiring leaders build teams they’d fight to keep.

I run a staffing firm that focuses on ERP and enterprise IT.

But my content?

It’s about giving you the playbook no one’s handed you:

✅ Job Search Strategy
↳To get hired faster, without burning out

✅ Career Frameworks
↳To find roles that fit you, not just pay you

✅ Hiring Insights
↳To build teams that scale with purpose

✅ Dad-Level Real Talk
↳ To explain ‘the cloud’ isn’t where planes live

If you’ve ever felt stuck, ghosted or burnt out,
or if you’re just ready for better…

The right people always recognize your value.

The wrong ones never will.

If you feel ignored, it's not you. 
It's the room you're in. 

Some jobs reward politics over results.
Others confuse seniority with skill. 

When you step into the right room:

1. Your ideas get oxygen
2. Your effort turns into trust
3. Your potential finally has runway

Your value isn't invisible.
It's just waiting for the right place to shine.

AI rewrote the rules. 

Most resumes never updated.

Half of resumes read like it's 2010:
❌ Dense walls of text
❌ Duties instead of wins
❌ Zero keywords

Those resumes don't make it past AI filters.

Modern resumes aren't about flashy design.
They're about proof you can deliver results.

Here's the difference:

1.
❌ Old: Text blocks everywhere
↳ They look impressive, but no one reads them.

✅ New: Short bullets with results
↳ Clarity beats clutter every time.

2.
❌ Old: Responsibilities listed
↳ “I was responsible for X, Y, Z…”

✅ New: Wins highlighted
↳ “Cut costs 20%” gets remembered.

3.
❌ Old: One-size-fits-all
↳ Same resume sent everywhere.

✅ New: Tailored for the role
↳ A custom resume shows you want THIS job

4.
❌ Old: Fancy formatting
↳ Pretty fonts that ATS can’t even read.

✅ New: Simple, scannable design
↳ Pass the filter, then impress the human.

5.
❌ Old: Buzzwords with no proof
↳ “Team player. Strategic thinker.” Empty words.

✅ New: Keywords with context
↳ Mirror the job post and back it with examples.

6.
❌ Old: Education front and center
↳ Degrees treated like the headline act.

✅ New: Impact leads the page
↳ Results mean more than where you studied.

Hiring managers don't need a history lesson.
They need a reason to call you back.

Your resume isn't a timeline.
It's your highlight reel of proof.

What outdated resume line do you see too often?

Old vs New Resume by Jonathan Whipple

You can teach skills.

You can't teach kindness. 

Skills can be taught, and experience can be gained.

But kindness, empathy, positivity? 

Those rarely can.

After placing hundreds of candidates, I've watched brilliant resumes crumble under toxic behavior.

And I've seen average ones shine with humility and emotional intelligence.

The truth is: hiring the wrong attitude is far more costly than hiring less experience.

Skills compound.
But toxicity spreads.
