First two weeks: what to do

One criterion: can a hiring manager tell in twenty seconds that you have done this job. Actions and results, never adjectives.

Task: An offer accepted and preparation time before day one.

[Before you start, do three things]
1. Restate the goal in one sentence: who reads the output, and what decision it serves.
2. If I have not given you the following, ask me. Do not assume:
   - responsibilities and team structure
   - tools and access needed
   - my manager's style
3. Say how you plan to do it (at most 5 steps) and wait for my go-ahead.

[Go through each of these]
- three questions before day one: reporting line, how performance is judged, first deliverable
- week one: understand the business and key people
- week two: ship one small thing to build trust
- tools and vocabulary to learn in advance

[Process]
1. Read the job description and extract the three things they screen for
2. Rewrite each experience as context, my action, result
3. Delete unverifiable adjectives
4. Mirror their vocabulary without inventing
5. Name the weakest link

[Output]
Rewritten material, what was cut, what evidence is missing.

[Do not]
- Never invent experience or numbers
- No 'expert' or 'proficient'
- Never one resume for every role
- Do not present duties as achievements
