How a Resume Makeover Led to Interviews at Google & Amazon

Empty space, drag to resize
My client landed interviews at Google, Amazon, and Apple within 10 days of updating her Resume.
1.5 years ago, a newlywed starry-eyed Rakhi followed her husband to the US to build her big American dream.
(name changed to protect privacy)
Rakhi had 10 years of technical experience, Masters in Computer Science, international exposure, and multiple patents under her belt.
So obviously she didn’t think finding a job would be this hard.
Boy… she was in for a surprise!
What should have been the best year of her life, turned out to be the worst for her career.
Despite 300+ applications, she didn’t have a single interview.
When Rakhi reached out me, both her confidence and her hopes of landing her dream role were totally crushed.
We made 3 simple changes to her Resume, which got her a floodgate of interviews (she has just started applying again):
✅ Added a strong professional summary
BEFORE: Like most others, she had a long professional summary full of generic statements, wasting critical real estate on the Resume.
AFTER: Rakhi used my simple framework to reword her professional summary to clearly highlight 4 things: Her industry experience, her functional skill-set developing software products, her technical competency, and her scope leading large teams and $MM programs.
✅ Keyword-optimization for target roles
BEFORE: She had multiple different titles and generic roles and responsibilities on her Resume, which failed to position her as the best candidate for any single role.
AFTER: She got clear on her target role. She then used my “200k Resume” process to work backward from the target roles to identify the right keywords and job titles to bring on her Resume. This helped her create ONE keyword-optimized version of her Resume that clearly highlighted her impact. No more tweaking her Resume for every single application.
✅ Keyword-optimized her LinkedIn
BEFORE: Her LinkedIn had a picture of her from 10 years ago, had no details filled in for any of her role, and didn’t even pop up in the public search.
AFTER: She followed my step-by-step guidelines to update her LinkedIn in less than an hour. She learned the filters recruiters use for sourcing candidates and used this to ensure her setting are correct for maximum visibility for her target roles.
RESULT: Multiple interviews lined up at Apple, Google, and Amazon within 10 days of updating her Resume and LinkedIn.
This is not magic.
This is a tried and tested process that dozens of my clients have used to land interviews from F5 to startups within a couple of weeks of updating their profile.
