ADVICE

Iterate Resumes With Human-Led Personalization

  • Personalize resumes through iterative, human-led reviews rather than one-shot AI rewrites.
  • Luna customizes resumes to 5–6 target roles and uses follow-up calls to restore candidate agency and clarity.
ANECDOTE

Luna Began As Pro Bono Campus Mentorship

  • Luna started from pro bono campus mentorship where Yaseen extended 15-minute slots into deeper 30–40 minute calls.
  • That unpaid work grew to a 500-client casebook in emerging markets before Luna monetized.
INSIGHT

Top Third Of Resume Is Make Or Break

  • Recruiters focus on the top third of a resume, so concise, role-specific content matters more than exhaustive history.
  • Keep recent relevant experience (about 5–7 years) and use skills sections to surface extra competencies.
