Most people treat resumes as a list of jobs. At best, they add a few accomplishments. The result? A document that looks like everyone else’s.
But when you combine the elements I’ve written about — resume mini-stories, clear differentiators, and the story elicitation process — something bigger happens.
From Bullets to Stories
- Instead of duties, your bullets become mini-stories that highlight problems, your actions, and business transformations.
- These mini-stories show not just that you “did the job,” but that you created impact — the kind hiring managers can’t ignore.
From Stories to Interview Readiness
- The same story outline you used to create resume bullets expands into interview-ready narratives.
- Instead of scrambling for examples, you already have powerful 200-word stories prepared that match the questions you’ll face.
From Interview Readiness to Confidence
- When you know your stories cold, you don’t just have a better resume — you show up with confidence.
- You stop underselling yourself. You see your own impact clearly, and you project that clarity in every conversation.
Proof It Works
Here’s how one client described the shift:
“Working with Nils was one of the best decisions I made during my job hunt. Did my resume improve? 100%. But the impact he had goes deeper than that. Nils has a knack for taking skills and experiences that may at first seem small and insignificant and transforming them into impactful stories, not by embellishing but by pulling out insights and impact that was long forgotten. As these stories came to life, my resume clearly told the story of my career and my confidence in interviews was drastically improved. My improved storytelling helped me land my next role!”
