The Starting Point: A Career Stuck in the Shadows

For many mid-career finance professionals, especially in competitive markets like the UK, job hunting can feel like shouting into the void. James (name changed), a seasoned finance leader with over 12 years in budgeting, treasury, and risk compliance, was hitting that wall.

Despite working with top firms and managing high-value portfolios, his applications yielded minimal responses.

"I wasn't sure what was wrong. I had the experience—but no one was responding."

That's when he came across Prosumely's free resume review offer and decided to take a leap.

Resume Review: The Diagnosis

Our free audit revealed multiple issues:

Outdated format with long paragraphs
Low ATS score (42%)
Missing UK finance keywords (IFRS, UKGAAP)
Generic language with no metrics

Despite solid experience, the resume didn't convey leadership or strategic value to UK finance recruiters.
