Mindset Monday Ep.3 | Resume as Story: Reframe Your Identity, Beat the Emotional Dip.

Your resume isn’t a list of jobs, it’s your story and the launch pad for networking and interviews. In this Mindset Monday, Stephen Jarrett and Tena Palomino show how to turn your resume into a confidence engine, align it with LinkedIn, and plug it into a simple weekly system that actually moves the needle.

What we cover

Reframe your identity: write future-fit bullets that signal leadership and direction (not just tasks).

The Emotional Dip: why volume applying erodes energy and how targeted roles rebuild momentum.

RDE Framework: Reflection → Discovery → Execution for nightly 15–30 min tune-ups.

9-to-3 Routine: block your day so creative work (tailoring, summaries) happens when you’re sharp.

ATS & LinkedIn alignment: mirror your resume to LinkedIn, and craft a tight 45–90 sec elevator pitch.

Networking Tree: convert warm chats into interviews with a clear 15-minute call structure.

Key takeaways

You are not your last role—write to who you’re becoming.
Make the resume a living document anchored to target roles and values.
Volume ≠ progress; precision plus consistency wins.
A strong resume reduces daily tweaks and frees time for high-leverage networking.

Next steps

Pull 5–6 resume bullets you’re proud of and mark which future skills they prove.
Tighten your elevator pitch so the rest of the conversation creates value.
Drop your resume in the community thread for feedback and refinements.
