2 Reasons You Should Get a Resume Roast (Even If You Think Yours Is Fine)

If your resume isn’t opening doors, something’s off—and you may not even know what it is.

That’s why I created the Resume Roast: a fast, expert review of your resume in context of the job you want.

Get a resume roast, write a resume that shows who you really are, and get your best job ever.

Here are two reasons smart professionals use it:


1. You’re Too Close to See What’s Missing

You’ve lived your story. You know what you meant to say. But hiring managers don’t—and they don’t have time to guess.

A quick, outside perspective can surface blind spots that are blocking your next opportunity.


2. Your Resume Isn’t Selling You (Yet)

Your resume isn’t a summary. It’s a sales tool.

If it doesn’t clearly connect your experience to what the job requires, it’s not doing its job. A strong Resume Roast pinpoints where you’re losing attention—and how to win it back.


👉 Want a fast, honest, expert opinion?

🎥 I’ll review your resume on video (1–2 minutes), in the context of a job you actually want.

No fluff. No wasted time.
Just fast clarity and real feedback.

Hi, I'm Dylan Cornelius.

I help mid-career professionals who feel stuck, burned out, or directionless build or find the best job — and career — of their lives.

I studied psychology at UC Berkeley and earned my MBA at Santa Clara University. I've spent 30 years on both sides of the hiring desk — as a technical recruiter in Silicon Valley, a hiring manager who interviewed thousands, and a leader at Oracle, IBM, Charles Schwab, LPL Financial, and PNC.

Whether you're actively searching, quietly questioning, or not sure what you want next — you're in the right place.
