Lucas and Luna sit down to dissect the mechanics of a resume that gets past the ATS and into human hands. In each episode, they take one real (anonymized) resume and walk through every line, every bullet, every verb choice — explaining why a hiring manager might stop reading or why a recruiter's eye pauses. Lucas, a former hiring manager turned career coach, uses his red marker to show what weak action verbs look like on the page; Luna, a professional writer, pushes back on vague phrases and asks the questions a candidate would never dare to ask. Together, they cover cover-letter logic (when to write one, when to skip), the economics of job applications (why 70% of hires come from referrals), and the psychological tricks of formatting (why a sans-serif font can cost you an interview in certain industries). Every episode is built around a concrete example — a finance analyst trying to pivot to product management, a mid-career marketer whose resume reads like a dictionary of buzzwords, a recent grad with zero experience but strong projects. The listener they serve is the professional who knows their work is better than their resume suggests, who wants to stop guessing and start sending applications that actually get callbacks. By the end of each episode, you'll have a specific template and a set of rules you can apply to your own document — and you'll know exactly what a recruiter sees in those first six seconds.
