Mid-career job hunt looks like this:

You have 8–12 years of real work. You send 80 applications. You get two auto-rejects and silence.

Most people then start rewriting their summary to sound "passionate." That's not the leak.

Hiring managers at this level skim for proof they can drop you into a team next month. They look for:

• scope (team size, budget, revenue, users)

• the last 5 years, not 2012

• outcomes, not a list of tools you "used"

If your top bullets still start with "Responsible for," the ATS might parse you. A human will not fight for you.

Fix: take your last two jobs. For each, write 3 bullets that name a number. Cut everything older than 10 years down to one line. Put the job title you want in the headline, not "results-driven professional."

That's the whole game. Do that before you send the next 80.
