Credentials That Matter vs Credentials That Don’t – How to Choose What Gets You Hired

Описание: Not all credentials belong on your resume. Some get you hired. Others? They’re just taking up space.

In this episode, I break down:
✅ Credentials that recruiters actually care about
❌ Credentials that hold you back (and why)
👉 How to decide what stays and what goes

After 23 years in recruiting and reviewing over 1 million resumes, I know exactly what works — and I’m sharing it with you today.
