What Lies Beneath

Ever look at your résumé and think, “There’s a whole lot missing here”?

The job titles and dates are there. A few good accomplishments made the cut. But the project you rescued, the people you helped grow, and the unexpected turn that taught you something? Those don’t always fit neatly on the page.

That’s the idea behind the iceberg in No Straight Line. It is a fun asset for you to share on social that links back to your public portfolio. Above the surface is the career people can quickly see. Below it is the experience that helps them understand what you bring.

Maybe you learned to lead while volunteering. Maybe a side project shows your creativity. Maybe your most useful skill came from doing work that was never in your job description.

Those details give someone a reason to remember you and something worth asking about. They help connect the dots between what you’ve done and what you could do next.

Start with one thing people wouldn’t know from reading your résumé. Add an example, a result, or a piece of work that brings it to life.

You’ve probably got more beneath the surface than you realize. Let people see it.
