"I still remember sitting in my aunt’s living room, listening to my cousin vent about his job search struggles. “I’ve applied to over 50 jobs,” he said, frustration lacing every word. “And nothing. Not even a callback.”
As someone with years of professional experience in the career consultation industry, crafting resumes for Black professionals and pivoting them into different careers, I immediately knew his problem. His resumes were not structured to get through Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), the software that decides whether your application even reaches a recruiter.
This struggle isn’t unique. We’ve all been there or know someone who has felt that sinking feeling that their resume always ends up in a black hole, no matter how hard they try. But here’s the thing: not getting a callback or interview is not because they lack the skills or potential needed for that role.
Research has shown that ATS rejects 75% of resumes before they even reach human eyes. These systems are designed to weed out applications that don’t meet specific formatting or keyword criteria, leaving countless qualified candidates unseen. For Black professionals who already face systemic discrimination in the job market, the stakes are even higher. That’s why having an ATS-friendly resume isn’t just important; it’s essential. It’s your first chance to prove you belong in the room, show that you’re more than capable, and ensure you’re not overlooked before you even start.
This isn’t just theory; At Black On The Job, we’ve mastered the art of revising resumes that bypass these systematic challenges, and our numbers speak for us. We have helped over 250,000 professionals overcome this exact barrier, transforming their lives and careers and contributing to over $95 million in salary increases globally.
What Is the $50 DIY Resume Workshop?
The $50 DIY Resume Workshop is our answer to those challenges, a chance to take control of your career story. It’s more than a class; it’s a movement to equip Black professionals with the tools they need to thrive. Our CEO, Cyntoni Miller, dreamed of creating something accessible that could cater to the Bees who feel left behind: underemployed, low-income, and out-of-job Bees ready for their breakthrough.
This workshop has a simple but powerful mission: to help you craft a resume that doesn’t just stand out; it speaks directly to recruiters and gets past ATS filters. For just $50, you’ll gain access to the same strategies used by industry experts to craft resumes that land interviews.

The importance of keywords and how to incorporate them effectively.
How to tailor your resume to specific job roles and industries.
Identifying and avoiding common resume mistakes.
Exclusive insights into what recruiters are looking for right now.
Live Q&A with expert coaches to address your specific concerns.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll have a professional, ATS-friendly resume you created, along with the confidence to apply for jobs, knowing you’re putting your best foot forward.
