The recruiter who asked for a 'sample package' taught me something

I was chatting with a hiring manager at a career fair in Austin last month and she mentioned she gets 40 to 50 resume packets a week that all look identical. She said the ones that stand out are the ones with a clear timeline and a quick verification link, not just a list of courses. Is that a common thing now, or is she just picky about how people present their credentials?

Hearing that 40 to 50 packets a week all look the same would make anyone second guess their own resume. Feels rough when a hiring manager basically says most people blend together, but it sounds like she's just telling you what makes hers stand out.

All look the same" means we're all just soup cans, right @nora535?
