Today I have 29,999 connections.

After this post, I will have less.

I recently messaged a connection to make an introduction.

It was between one of our Resume Clients and someone who is in HR in a company he is interested in working for.

She doesn't know me, other than being connected on LinkedIn.

She did EXACTLY what you are supposed to do.

She responded politely, said she was happy to spend a minute pointing my client in the right direction and since then, they've exchanged emails offline.

Maybe not a big deal to her, but to HIM it was the response he needed. (If you have not heard, job searching is tough).

So, if you are not willing to....

✿ respond to a message
✿ make an introduction
✿ answer a message
☕️ buy me a cup of coffee, or let me buy you one
✿ wish me a happy birthday
✿ like something I post
✿ ask me for a favor or respond in kind when I ask you for one

.... we should disconnect.

Because, lets face it, relationships are a 2 ways street.

Exit Interviews are dumb.

At that point, who cares about why someone is leaving?

Companies should institute 'while you are employed' interviews.

If they really care about changing culture, how you feel about your job or why you might have one foot out the door....

They'd ask you that question while they still had a chance to keep you.

And then, they'd do something about it.

A resume client of ours just accepted a $450K job.

An executive level role with a company that is very, very lucky to land him.

3 Zoom Interviews.

One with the COO - 37 minutes.
One with the CEO - 42 minutes.
One with the HR Exec - 30 minutes.

2 weeks from start to finish.

No test.
No assessment.
No in person interview.

The candidate (our client) was traveling. A lot.

The new employer wanted him, liked him and made the concession to do it all by Zoom.

Offer within 10 days. Start to finish.

If a $450K job offer can be made with 3 Zoom interviews totaling less than 3 hours, you can fill any job in the same time or less.

There are no amount of conversations, pre-employment tests or evaluations that are going to turn a candidate from a prince to a frog....or the other way around.

When you hire a candidate, whether it is a $50K job or a $450K job after a few conversations and within a few weeks, guess what?

It is still the same person.

But now, they start a job with the right attitude, the confidence that comes from being respected in the interview process and a willingness to do whatever is needed to make your company successful.

Seems pretty smart to me.

Last year we worked with a client who quit her job because her boss kept texting her. 

While she was at her mother’s funeral. 

She felt the buzz of her phone going off while she was at the church service. 

And again a few moments later. 

She continued to ignore it but it set her on edge. 

When she got in the car after mass, she checked her phone and had 3 missed calls and 7 texts.  

She texted back that she was out of the office. 

At HER MOTHER’S FUNERAL. 

The response? “Ok, let me know if you can talk for a few minutes.”

Not, “I’m sorry.”

Or “I should know that you are off this week because your mom died.”

Or “I apologize, of course I saw your bereavement leave request.”

Just, “let me know if you can talk?”

As a Chief of Staff for an international finance company, she was used to after hours calls, regular fire drills, weekend meetings, last minute travel requests. 

But on that day, of all days, she just needed NOT to be needed. 

She gave her resignation, effective immediately, by email. 

After 15 years with the company, she was done. 

She took a few months off, a well deserved rest and we helped her with her resume and LinkedIn profile. 

She landed in a Head of Administrative Services role with a smaller finance company. 

This year, her daughter had a baby. A little boy. Her first grandchild. 

They sent her congratulatory flowers.  

90% of how people feel about their jobs is how they are treated at work, by their peers, by their bosses. 

Being a good steward of kindness, mutual respect and appreciation is free. 

 #people #respect #resumewriting

Headhunters reach out to me every single day here on LinkedIn.

Because we develop 300+ new Executive Resume Packages each week, I have an endless stream of high level, highly qualified candidates looking for new jobs.

I am always happy to provide names (with our clients' permission, of course), and sometimes the sun and moon aligns and they get interviews/jobs out of the deal.

I can make a headhunters/recruiters job easy, as long as they follow my rules.

1. You have to give me the name of the company, the salary and the location. I will not pass your information along to a potential candidate without it.

2. You have to promise to be responsive and communicative with whomever I send you.

3. I won't sign an NDA and I don't care about spiffs or kickbacks. I don't need your money and I won't talk about your job with anyone.

4. If I send you someone completely qualified and you don't respond to me or them, I will never send you anyone again.

So, there you have it. No bullshit, no games.

There is nothing I love more than a 'love match', so have at it.

My son moved out 3 weeks ago. 


It’s been quiet and clean at my house 😂😂😂😂. 

Every morning after he goes to the gym, he swings by to grab “a few things.”

I hear the garage door going up and I know it’s him. 

We chat, have coffee and then he heads up to his old bedroom to get clothes, shoes, etc. 

I hear him in the bathroom washing up and brushing his teeth. 

Finally, after several days of this I asked him why doesn’t he just go to his apartment after the gym to shower and get dressed for the day. 

He told me that his “favorite toothbrush” is at home, lol. 

Now, I know he has a whole pack of new toothbrushes at his apartment  because I bought them. 

In fact, I decked out his new place with furniture, food, dishes, pots, pans, laundry detergent, etc…..

So for now, he has left his favorite toothbrush in it’s holder. 

I’m sure that someday in the not too distant future, it will be packed up, along with the rest of his socks and shoes to go to their new home. 

But for now, every time I walk past that bathroom and see his “favorite” toothbrush still there, I’ll continue listening for the garage door to go up.

Until it doesn’t anymore.

A client of ours started interviewing with a company in December. 

It’s a big job. 

They told him up front that the process was slow. 

They are in the middle of a merger and he will be replacing BOTH CEO’s. 

He was fine with it. 

Until he landed a short term consulting gig, which he really likes. 

So, last week, they reach out and let him know they are ready to move forward. 

This is a giant salary, about $500k and all the perks. 

Now he is hesitating.  

He texted me for a little advice, so we chatted by phone. 

He said “am I crazy for NOT immediately telling them I’m all in?”

I told him NO!  Absolutely not.  

People change. 

Priorities change. 

What you wanted 2 or 3 months ago may not be what you want now. 

He has been a CEO for many years.  

Working 60 or 70 hours a week. 

Always ON. 

His new consulting gig allows him some flexibility. 

Free time he hasn’t had in years. 

His wife keeps joking that this is the most time they’ve spent together in a decade lol. 

He likes it. 

Our conversation ended with him telling me he needs to really think about what he wants to do. 

But I think his mind is already made up. 

Who you were 6 months ago may be totally different than who you are today. 

So change your mind. 
Go in a new direction. 
Try something new.  

Your life is not defined by your job.

A recruiter once told me that they won’t call a candidate who has the “Open to Work” banner on their profile.

Stunned, I asked “why in the world would you not reach out to someone who NEEDS a job, when you are trying to FILL a job?”

This is what she said….

“Unemployed candidates are considered low hanging fruit. 

Our employers/contracts expect us to identify top talent, poach people from competing companies and dig deep to find the perfect candidate.”

What?????

Being unemployed does NOT make someone less desirable.

Being unemployed does not make someone less WORTHY.

Being unemployed does not make someone LESS awesome.

Being unemployed does not make someone less VALUABLE.

We’ve got to stop making up stupid rules.

We’ve got to stop making things harder than they need to be.

We got to stop treating candidates like shit.

I say hang your Open to Work banner proudly!!

It just means that you are looking for your next adventure.

Screw anyone who doesn’t think that makes you worth it.

We created a Resume for a CEO of Fortune 1000 Tech company. 

He was not looking for a job, but needed a resume for a Board role at a non-profit.

He’d been referred to us by a friend, connected to me on LinkedIn, and within a few weeks, we had him squared away with a new resume & bio.

A few months later, we worked on a resume for a talented IT Engineer, we advised her (as we do with all clients), to not be shy in asking us for introductions to people she’d like to meet in our network.

I received a note from her requesting an introduction to this CEO.

I hesitated for a moment, didn’t want to take advantage of him, so I sent him a note telling him about her, and asked him if he could possibly give me the name of someone on the HR team to direct her to. 

A day later, I received this note....

“Hey Robynn, great to hear from you. I’d be happy to have a conversation with her. How about Friday at noon?” 

I thanked him for being so gracious, and he said “what kind of leader would I be if I didn’t have an interest in talking with young professionals?”

I emailed her his number, with instructions to NOT be late in calling him, lol, and 3 weeks later she accepted a job with the company.

This is why good people, good leaders matter.

We are working with a new resume client who just lost his job.

He worked for his employer for 27 years.  

27!

He started off as a Sales Rep and his last position was COO.

He helped them grow from $400k in revenue to over $20 million.

When the owner retired, they put the company up for sale.

Our guy was let go. Along with several other executives.

But here’s where it gets interesting.

As part of the sales agreement, the owner built in a clause that any employee with 10+ years tenure would be paid a severance equal to one years salary.

They would also have to pay 12 months worth of health insurance benefits.

So while he’s sad to leave, he’s probably the least stressed client we’ve worked with this month.

So if you are wondering what loyalty, culture or caring about your people looks like, that’s it.

Not getting fired by Zoom or waking up and not being able to log into your email.

There is a right way and a wrong way to handle layoffs.

This is the 'rightest' I've heard about so far this year.

Don't call someone a Supervisor if they are a Manager
Don't call someone a Coordinator if they are a Director
Don't call someone an Accounting Manager if they are a CFO
Don't call someone a Sales Rep if they are an Account Exec
Don't call someone an IT Specialist if they are an IT Leader
Don't call someone an Associate if they are a a VP
Don't call someone a Team Lead if they are a Manager
Don't call someone an Operations Manager if they are a COO

Job Title = Salary = Perception

If your job title does not actually describe what you do, at the level you do it, you are probably underpaid.

I call it Title Manipulation. 

On resumes, we change your title using a "title equivalent" tactic - to let employers know you may be a Marketing Specialist, but are serving in a "marketing director equivalent" role. 
 
They know what's up. 


So ask yourself....'does my job title really reflect what I do?'

And if the answer is NO, then state your case, and go get what you are worth.

A young journalist reached out to me. 

She was writing an article on “badass women” and wanted to interview me. 

I was flattered!  
And flabbergasted!  

Of course I said YES!  

I don’t really think of myself that way, but she did. 

She saw a female owned business, with a decent following here on LinkedIn…with a (sometimes) big mouth!  

She was lovely. 

So prepared. 

Enthusiastic and intelligent, she asked me questions about how I lead my team and how my business was born. 

So I told her. 

Then I said “I see badass women everywhere.”

From the female salesperson who sold me new windshield wiper blade last week (and installed them)….

To the moms who juggle kids, work, home, life….and still have time to bake cookies and volunteer at school. 

The women who inspire me every single day on LinkedIn.  

The ones who innovate, burst through the glass ceiling, the ones who get laid off and start businesses or choose a new path. 

To the caretakers, the activists, the executives, the loving, kind and smart people who make up the female population. 

In fact, I told her that I don’t know ANY women who AREN’T badasses!  

So, even though it’s not Mother’s Day or the International day of the Girl….

….to all my sisters around the world 🌎 you deserve to be celebrated. 

Today and every day.

I drove through the donut shop Drive-Thru this morning.

Shocker.  I know.

I ordered a large coffee, extra cream, extra sugar, and one donut.

I got to the window to pay.

The young lady handed me an iced coffee.

The travesty!!! 😂 

I said, 'honey, this is not mine.  I ordered a hot coffee.'

"I am so sorry" she said and went to make the new one.

I handed her a $20 bill.  The total was $3.95.

She tried to hand me back $96.05.

I said, 'this isn't right.  I gave you a $20, not a $100."

"I am so sorry" she said again.  

"No worries" I told her.  "You guys are busy!"

She got the correct change and went to hand me the coffee.

The lid went flying off, coffee sloshed all over her, all over the counter. 

LOL.  At this point, I am giggling.  

"Look at me" I said to her.   Her eyes opened wide and she did.

"It's okay.  Are you new here?"

She said she was.  

I told her that she was doing fine.  "No one is going to die if they don't get their donut or their coffee in 30 seconds.  Take a deep breath, take your time."

So, she went back again, made the right coffee...gingerly handed it to me through the window and I wished her a good day.

"You too" she said and smiled.

Life is rarely smooth and drama free.  

Most of the time, it's a comedy of errors.  

In this case, as I drove off, I realized I did not get the donut I ordered, but there was NO way I was going back, lololol. 

She probably did me a favor.  Do I really need a donut?  

Probably not.

Call off sick?  

I’m getting an increased amount of notes from people who are being questioned about WHY they are calling off sick.  

To be quite frank….. 

It’s nobody’s damn business. 

Whether it’s the flu 
Covid
Cold
Mental health 
Stomach problems 
Pink eye
Allergies 
Or something else, you don’t need to explain. 

If they press the issue, my personal favorite is detailed gynecological ailments.  

Trust me, get into some groovy details, your boss will never ask again 😂. 

In all seriousness, we are all adults. 

If you are sick, you’re sick. 

The ONLY response you should hear is “I hope you feel better soon.”

And maybe send you some soup.

I am officially an 'empty nester.'

The last little bird has flown the coop! 

At 24, the last kid has moved out.  

He's excited about his new job, his new apartment and not having Mom and Dad telling him what to do.

Mom and Dad are excited about a floor clear of dirty socks, no dirty dishes in the sink, tripping over his shoes, and the endless game of 'where are my keys.'

My children are 8 years apart, which was not by design.

So you could say he was the best surprise we ever got.

Most parents are thrilled when their infants finally asleep. 

Not us...we used to take him out of his crib and lay him in between us so we could look at him.

And so began a life of being the center of attention...by us and his older sister.

He's been spoiled, adored, and an endless source of joy and happiness.

A great kid, a true gentleman, kind, funny and sweet.....

I will miss his 'morning mom' bursts through my office door and his willingness to hang out and watch all the chick flicks, Marvel movie marathons and hotly debated discussions of Breaking Bad vs Game of Thrones.

So, what do we do now?  

I guess we will probably take a European vacation. 

Or maybe turn his bedroom into a giant walk in closet.  

Maybe we will go on a cruise, or a month long road trip across the US.

We will have to think about it.

But right now, I have to go make meatballs.  

I am pretty sure he's coming home for dinner tonight.  

Enjoy every messy, crazy, wild and happy minute.  

I never thought they'd actually grow up and leave. 😢

We get hundreds of applicants when we post a job. 

Like most companies. 

Yes, it’s extremely time consuming and frustrating looking through resumes of people who meet zero of the qualifications listed. 

So, what’s the solution?  

We’ve instituted a list of 5 or 6 vettting questions. 

We ask each person specific question/requirements related to the job. 

Things like years of experience. 

Educational level (if applicable). 

Relevant personality traits. 

They are reasonable, relevant and clear questions. 

We aren’t looking for unicorns. 

There aren’t 50 different requirements. 

Just plain, simple and common sense requirements. 

If they don’t answer YES to all the questions, we don’t have them fill out an application or provide anything else. 


The most recent role we posted had over 400 applications. 

Out of those, 9 people met the requirements. 

9. 

We interviewed and made an offer within a week. 

Every single person we talked with that did NOT get the job was notified within 2 days. 


Hiring is a 2 way street. 

Mutual respect for each others time is important. 

So is being reasonable. 

And having common sense.

I just had to yell at one of my staff.




She's sick with the flu.

So is her kiddo.

I told her to take the day off.  

She's answering emails and booking discovery calls for new resume clients.

I told her to go lay down.

She told me she couldn't.  She's answering messages from her bed.

I told her if she didn't knock it off, I'd change the email password.  

PLUS there are 10 other people in our virtual office.

We are not brain surgeons.  And likely neither are you....

No one is going to die if we don't get to your note/text/email in 30 seconds of receiving it.

It's okay to be sick.  Take the day off.  Lay around.

If you need to book a call with my team, use this tool instead - https://lnkd.in/gg7Q9BEK

I'm sure she will be back in a day or two answering questions, phones and messages in record time.  

But right now, shhhhhh....I hope she's taking a nap.

Open article: Storeyline Resumes 15-Minute Inquiry Call by link.writesea.com

https://link.writesea.com/widget/bookings/storeyline/consultation

Loved his job.

Hated his boss.

A seasoned Senior Account Executive we worked with has shattered every sales record his company set for him.

It wasn't enough.

His boss kept pushing.  

Harder and harder and harder.  To do more, make more, close more deals, close bigger deals.

He closed a 2M deal for new services for an enterprise client.  
His boss asked why he didn't close a bigger maintenenace contract. 

He was calling, texting, emailing at all hours.  
Wanted to 'ride along' to his sales calls.  
Questioning everything he did.

To the point that he dreaded going to work.  
Started feeling ill on Sunday nights.
Anxiety when his phone would go off.
Dreaded logging into his emails each day.

When he came to us, he was feeling pretty dejected.  Wanted to stay in the industry (tech), but was willing to take any job to get away from them.

He began to interview.  

It's hard to schedule interviews when you are working 60+ hours a week.

But he did it.  Interviewed with 4 companies and took an offer.

It was for a little bit less money, but the team seemed great.  Happy. Nice.  

When he gave his notice, his boss was LIVID.

"I trained, invested and mentored you for all this time and you are leaving?"

Yes, he was leaving.  
They offered him a raise.
They offered him additional time off.
They offered him a better comission structure.  

Finally, after a week of going back and forth, he told them.

"It's not about the money.  To be honest, no amount of money you could offer me would make me stay."  

So he left.  

They continued to call him and when that did not work, they tried to enforce his non-compete.

That did not work either.

The stress from the job, the job search and taking on a new job nearly pushed him over the edge.  

This is NOT how business is supposed to work.  
No one owns you.  
No one dictates your career but you.  
You are free to come and go as you please.  

Even if you have to go through a lot of shit to get there.  

#jobsearch #sales #resumewriting


A client of ours gets called for an interview.

Reputable, well known company, VP level role, around $250K base.

He is excited, does his research and prepares for the interview.

The Recruiter sends him a link by email, which he assumes is a video call.

It is not.

It is a BOT interview.

Ever heard of it? 

A BOT asks you questions, you have a certain amount of time to answer, then it cuts you off and asks the next question.

He is floored!

After 4 questions, he closes the link, shakes his head and gets on with his day. 

He's irritated, insulted and pissed.

The Recruiter calls him, "what is the problem?" She asks. "You did not finish the interview."

"I am not interested in being interviewed by a BOT" he tells her. If someone wants to get to know me, I expect that they have a conversation with me.

It does not end well.

He bows out, she is angry (of course, because it takes, what, maybe 15 seconds to set up an interview?)

Just because hiring processes have changed, doesn't mean YOU have to participate. 

So now, he will only take interviews with humans.  

Who would have thought we would have to make the distinction, lol.

#jobsearch #interview #resumewriting

I’m starting to see a change. 

Let’s face it, hiring has been an absolute shitshow over the past year. 

Throw hundreds of thousands of layoffs (and new candidates flooding the market), and you’ve got a mess. 

But lately, over the last few weeks….I’ve been getting notes. 

From our resume clients and people here on LinkedIn.

Quicker offers. 

Less interviews. 

I’ve had several clients get same day job offers after the final interview. 

A message from a follower who took an extraordinary offer ($40k more than her most recent job) and it took 10 days from start to finish. 

I’ve gotten notes from executive leaders who’ve adapted faster hiring processes 

And a lovely message from a client who, after interviewing with 7 different companies accepted a VP level job after 2 short interviews.  

So….for everyone struggling. 
For every frustrated job seeker. 
For every one who can’t seem to get across the finish line….

There is hope. 

If you’ve had a POSITIVE job search experience, please share it here!  

So people can see it is possible!
