About this session

Your resume often decides whether you get the interview or get overlooked. This MentorCruise session is designed to help you strengthen your resume so it tells a clearer, sharper story about your experience and potential. Whether you are applying for your next role, changing industries, or trying to stand out in a competitive market, this session helps you turn a decent resume into a stronger one.

You’ll work with an experienced mentor to review your resume line by line, improve how you present your impact, and identify what may be weakening your application. Together, you can refine bullet points, clarify your positioning, tighten structure, and make sure your resume matches the kind of roles you want. The goal is to leave with a resume that feels more focused, more credible, and more likely to get attention from recruiters and hiring managers.

Your mentor

Having conducted over 100 technical interviews at Google and Waymo (from L3 all the way to L6), I’ve seen firsthand why some resumes get a 'yes' while others get passed over. I went through that same L3→L6 climb myself, so I know exactly how much the 'framing' of your work matters. Instead of giving you generic advice, I’ll look at your resume through the eyes of a hiring manager. I’ll help you highlight your impact, cut out any red flags, and make sure your experience is tailored for the specific roles you're chasing - whether that’s a FAANG giant or a lean startup.

He possesses a vast amount of knowledge and is always willing to share it with others. I have truly enjoyed our technical and non-technical discussions, mock interviews, and job search conversations, all of which have been incredibly valuable and insightful.”

Working with Mike has been an outstanding experience. He takes the time to truly understand the challenges you’re facing and provides thoughtful, practical guidance on how to approach them. He helped me focus on the right technical areas to prepare for my interviews and spent time helping me refine and frame my experiences so they communicate impact clearly. What truly stands out about Mike is how genuinely invested he is in helping his mentees succeed. I always felt that he approached my challenges as if they were his own, not just a task he was helping with. Even though I’m still in the early stages of my interview process, his guidance has already been incredibly valuable and helped me think about aspects of interview preparation that I hadn’t considered before. I highly recommend Mike to anyone preparing for technical leadership interviews or looking for thoughtful and supportive mentorship.”

His process is very thorough and collaborative, starting with understanding your background and career goals before creating a new version of the resume and incorporating your feedback along the way. Great care was taken with every line of the resume to clearly frame the impact employers are looking for. He also took the time to answer all of my questions while providing thoughtful feedback on my job search approach. Throughout the process, he remained fully invested in helping me succeed and consistently went above and beyond to ensure I’m in the best position to land my next role.”
