Recruiters & Resumes: How to Stand Out in Today's Job Market

In this powerhouse episode of The Corporate Burnouts, hosts Mandy Holt and Mandy Alt sit down with Alison Niermann, CEO of Tilly Workforce Solutions and an expert in recruitment strategy, talent development, and career transformation, for a deep dive into how job seekers can finally land the roles they deserve in 2025.

With over 20 years in recruiting, Alison pulls back the curtain on what recruiters actually look for, how the hiring process really works, and why the job market feels so different right now. She explains the difference between a job and a role, the power of building a personal brand statement, and how to create an “ideal candidate profile” that helps you stand out in a crowded market.

The conversation covers everything from AI-filtered resumes and quiet hiring to salary negotiation, interview prep, recruiter relationships, and knowing your worth. You’ll learn how to ask about salary ranges without sounding pushy, how to negotiate confidently when the offer comes in, and how to advocate for yourself once you’re already in a role, whether that’s asking for a raise, redefining your value, or documenting your impact for future promotions.

Alison also shares practical tips for writing resumes that beat the ATS (AI filtering systems), using the STAR method to answer interview questions, and keeping your story positive even after a toxic job or layoff.

If you’ve been ghosted by hiring managers, burned out by applications, or nervous about your next interview, this episode is a master class in how to present yourself with clarity, confidence, and conviction.

Listen now to learn how to build a career that fits your values and a life that matches your worth, then subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with a friend who needs to hear it. Your dream job isn’t gone, you just need the right strategy to find it.
