S23E11: 400 Bain Resumes Reviewed – 3 Mistakes She Saw Every Time
Season 23
Episode 11
Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description
Maile Dyer reviewed 400+ resumes as a Bain Manager. She was on the recruiting team, making the decisions on who got interviews.
And she kept seeing the same 3 mistakes: structure, content, and formatting. Most candidates miss at least one. A lot of them miss all 3 — and they never find out why they never heard back.
In this episode, Maile breaks down each mistake and tells you exactly how to fix it. Katie Neff joins to tie it back to your full recruiting strategy.
You'll learn:
- The structure mistake that makes reviewers skip your strongest qualifications
- Why writing responsibilities instead of impact gets you screened out fast
- The formatting signals that tell a consultant you lack attention to detail
