Coach Jordan · 2026-05-20 · 3 min read

No matter the role you're applying for, it's imperative that you have a resume that applies to the job you're applying for. In the last 2 years, we have viewed over 20,000 resumes — and over 60% of them have no information about sports, coaching sports, playing sports, or anything related to the role.

If you're wondering why you're not getting an interview… that's why!

You must have relevant information, otherwise a hiring manager will never consider you.
