I’ve reviewed 50,000+ resumes and hired hundreds of employees over 30+ years in staffing, recruiting, and executive leadership. What job search advice is outdated and hurting people in 2026? AMA

Hi Reddit,

I’m Stacie Haller, Chief Career Advisor at ResumeBuilder.com.

I have 30+ years of experience in staffing, recruiting, and executive leadership. Over my career, I have reviewed 50,000+ resumes and hired hundreds of professionals across industries and career levels. I have worked both as a hiring manager and as a career expert supporting candidates through their job search.

I’ve held senior leadership roles at Kelly, Aquent, Adecco, Weatherby Locums, Modis, and Robert Half, and have been featured as a career expert on NBC, CBS, CNN, Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, and Bloomberg.

The job market has changed dramatically, especially with AI tools, applicant tracking systems, remote work, and shifting employer expectations. Some job search advice that worked 10 years ago no longer works today. In some cases, it may actually be hurting your chances.

Tomorrow (Thursday, March 5) from 1–3 PM EST, I’ll be hosting an AMA here to talk about:

  • Outdated job search strategies that no longer work
  • Resume myths that need to go away
  • Applying to 100+ jobs and hearing nothing
  • AI and how it is really affecting hiring
  • Career pivots and explaining layoffs
  • Interview mistakes I see over and over

I won’t be able to review full resumes in this thread, but I’m happy to answer specific questions and provide practical guidance you can apply immediately.
