Senior engineer resume audit: find the claims that create doubt.
Most senior resumes do not fail because the candidate lacks experience. They fail because the resume makes a recruiter hesitate. The fastest useful audit is not cosmetic. It is a defensibility check.
The four checks
- Claim size: Can you defend every metric, scope, and leadership claim in an interview?
- Title fit: Can a recruiter classify the target role in ten seconds?
- ATS readability: Are dates, titles, company names, and skills easy to parse?
- Bullet specificity: Do the strongest bullets match the jobs you want now?
The keep / rewrite / remove / verify method
Mark every bullet with one action. Keep bullets that are specific and defensible. Rewrite bullets that are vague or oversized. Remove bullets that distract from the target role. Verify metrics before a recruiter asks where they came from.
