    What HR Really Thinks About Your Resume | Tom Applegarth

    Ever wonder what the person on the other side of the hiring table is really thinking? On this episode of Winning with Jed, I sit down with Tom Applegarth, a seasoned HR executive with 37 years of experience leading human resources for companies ranging from small businesses to billion dollar organizations. Tom has helped hire thousands of employees, and he's seen firsthand what separates candidates who get noticed from those who get passed over. We talk about why a resume might only get 10 seconds of attention, what hiring managers are really looking for during an interview, and how the relationships you build can open doors that a resume alone can't. But this conversation goes beyond getting hired. Tom challenges the idea that a bigger paycheck always means a better opportunity. We explore the long game of career growth, the value of becoming indispensable, and why sometimes the smartest move is staying right where you are. And after nearly four decades in business, Tom shares what he believes actually makes someone successful. His answer might surprise you. If you're building your career, considering your next move, or responsible for hiring and developing people, this is a conversation worth hearing. Winning with Jed is hosted by Jed Etters, author of Shut Up and Win, featuring real conversations about business, leadership, mindset, and living with purpose.
