Tactical Hacks vs. Transformational Resumes: Why TBR Is More Than Just Beating Bots

David YSL
Founder – Think Big Resumes


In today’s hyper-automated job market, everyone is talking about one thing:
How to beat the bots.

It’s true, ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) are now the first gatekeepers. If your resume can’t be read by a machine, it might never be seen by a human. That’s why countless YouTube résumé coaches and LinkedIn influencers are gaining attention for their tactical advice on ATS compliance.

At ThinkBigResumes.com, we respect the technical side. But we go several steps further.

 

ATS Compliance Is The Minimum. Not The Mission.


We agree:

•  Use Simple Fonts

•  Avoid Tables and Text Boxes

•  Keep It ATS Scannable

•  Use The Right Keywords

 

       But that’s just the baseline. It gets you past the gate.

Think Big Résumés - Mission?

To open doors, ignite interest, and land interviews that change lives.


Most Teach You To Get Noticed.
We Teach You To Get Remembered.

Many online résumé coaches give practical advice for job seekers who want to pass the first filter.

But Think Big Resumes™ was built for job seekers who want to do more than pass. We want our clients to stand out, tell their story, and own the room before they even walk into the interview.



"Every resumes we create is designed to reflect who you are, and who you're becoming."


Templates vs. Transformation

The common approach: Use this template. Add these keywords. Make it standout.

TBR's approach:
Craft a cinematic document that reflects ambition, clarity, and future potential.

Our resumes:

•  Use Minimalist Design (Simple. Stylish. Smart.)

•  Showcase Your Brand Personality

•  Include Leadership Philosophy & Career Narratives

•  Balance ATS Compliance and Human Engagement 

 

Think Big Résumés = Career Storytelling That Opens Doors

We're not anti-tactics. We're anti-generic.

Most resumes today are optimised for algorithms but forget about people. Recruiters skim. Hiring managers scroll. But what if your resume stopped them cold?

That’s what Think Big Resumes delivers:

"Wow, this person gets it."

"They know who they are."

"They're already thinking like a leader."


Bottom Line

Tactical Coaches Help You Pass AI.
TBR Helps You Impress The Humans.

We’re not certified by résumé factories, we’re trained by 35+ years in Branding, Advertising, and Creative Leadership. That’s the edge your story deserves.

Most certified writers learn what to write in words. We’ve spent decades mastering the art of how to make it unforgettable.

Why settle for good enough, when you could Think Big?
