off the resume
Off the Resume is a casual podcast that invites industry professionals to share their career journeys from a personal and human perspective. The goal is to ease the anxieties of young adults entering the workforce by offering honest, unfiltered conversations that go beyond the polished image of a résumé. Each episode focuses on real experiences, lessons learned, and the often-overlooked emotional side of building a career.
Challenge
The main challenge was crafting guiding questions that encouraged authentic storytelling while keeping each conversation structured and engaging. It was equally important to create a comfortable and open recording environment where guests felt at ease discussing their personal advocacy, challenges, and growth without feeling formal or rehearsed.

I set out to build a genuine space where young people—especially those just beginning their professional journeys—could find reassurance and relatable insight. The process involved researching potential guests, designing thoughtful interview frameworks, and fostering conversations that revealed the human side of specific job roles. Rather than focusing on career achievements alone, Off the Resume highlights the personal experiences, doubts, and discoveries that shape each professional’s path, offering both guidance and comfort to listeners navigating similar transitions.
