## Core position

The North American market reads resumes differently than services markets do. Elsewhere, a resume records responsibilities and tenure; in Canada and the US, recruiters screen for business impact — scale, ownership, architecture decisions, and measurable outcomes. A strong engineer with a poorly positioned resume routinely loses to an average engineer who communicates value clearly. The bottleneck for most stalled job searches is representation, not skill.
