  • Resumes, LinkedIn, and Job Search in the AI Era with Shennee Rutt

    Resumes, LinkedIn, and Job Search in the AI Era with Shennee Rutt
    Sep 15 2026
    In this episode of Drive Thru HR, hosts Robin Schooling and Michael VanDervort welcome Shennee Rutt, executive resume writer and founder of Laurel Virtual Solutions to talk about what it takes to stand out in today's job market. Shennee describes a wave of layoffs pushing seasoned executives with 25 to 30 years of experience back into a job search, - often without having needed a resume in decades (so what to do?). The conversation takes on the question of whether the resume is dead (it isn't) and the role of AI on both sides of hiring as we discuss why AI-generated resumes come across as generic and lacking personality. We wrap up with practical LinkedIn advice, including why your profile shouldn't be a copy of your resume. Oh... and we make the case for why the cover letter may be your best marketing tool right now!

  • Doing the Work w/ Jackye Clayton

    Doing the Work w/ Jackye Clayton
    Sep 3 2026
    Jackye Clayton - recruiter turned editor turned builder, co-host of But First Coffee and Inclusive AF, and, as it turns out, a dog trainer - joins Robin and Michael for the first show back from hiatus. In this wide-ranging convo, we discuss where DEIB stands today including how companies are silently renaming the work while still doing it. Jackye walks us through Who Do I Work For, the career intelligence tool she built to auto-align candidates with organizations that match their values instead of auto-applying them into a mess, plus a workshop she's kicking off on building agents to handle TA intake. And her closing advice sticks the landing: we're going judgment blind, and judgment is the one thing that can't be automated.
