Qualified, Competitive, or Match?
A full worked example of the QCM framework — real position announcement, three candidate profiles, and a step-by-step breakdown of how a search committee sorts applicants into these three categories.
Three Resumes — Show and Tell
The Three Resumes strategy applied to two real candidates: a base résumé and three tailored versions each, with annotations explaining every adaptation decision.
Cover Letter Examples and Explanations
Good, Better, and Best cover letters for the same position — annotated to show exactly what moves each version from generic to compelling.
Resume Templates
Three professionally formatted résumé templates: one for competitive staff/administrative candidates, one for faculty/academic CVs, and one for executive/senior leaders.
