ABOUT CORY KELLY
If you work in tech, you should be updating your LinkedIn and resume right now.Not when the next round of restructuring hits.Most engineers wait until they need a job to think about this. By then, they’re making panicked edits under pressure instead of confident ones.The problem is simple:Your LinkedIn and resume were probably built for peers who already understand what you do.Recruiters aren’t peers.They’re pattern-matchers running a 6-second skim, looking for role fit, proof, and signal clarity. If those three things don’t land quickly, you can be overlooked before the conversation starts.The people who stand out aren’t always the most qualified.They’re the clearest.That’s why I built the 6 Second Scan.After years in architecture reviews, hiring conversations, and technical storytelling, I started noticing the same pattern:Strong engineers were not losing because they lacked skill.They were losing because they had never been taught how to sell themselves, their ideas, or the impact of their work.I’m Cory Kelly, an AWS-certified Backend Architect with 15+ years building distributed systems, cloud migrations, and platform architecture.My whole career has been the same kind of work:Find the real bottleneck.Cut the noise.Ship the smallest change that creates the biggest result.I apply that same thinking to your LinkedIn and resume.My LinkedIn + Resume review gives you:→ A first-impression breakdown of your LinkedIn and resume→ The real reason you may be getting passed over→ High-impact fixes ranked by priority→ Exact rewrites you can paste directly in→ A 7-day action plan so it doesn’t feel overwhelmingWhat clients say:“More detailed feedback than the career coaches in my bootcamp.” - May K.“One of the most valuable pieces of feedback I’ve ever received.” - James H.“Less than a week after your tips, I already got an interview.” - Garrett M.“I applied to 12 jobs. I already have an interview at my top choice.” - August P.“I now understand why I’ve been getting rejections.” - Erica C.You don\'t have to be job hunting to benefit. This is for everyone in tech with a LinkedIn and a resume. Now is the right time.Start here:6secondscan.com
