How to Write a Resume for a Job That Hasn't Been Posted Yet

In this episode, Lucas and Luna tackle the hidden job market — roles filled before they ever hit a job board. Lucas breaks down a concrete case: a marketing manager who landed a senior director role at a mid-size SaaS company by sending a strategic cold resume to the VP of Marketing. They walk through the exact structure of that email-resume package, including the subject line, the three-paragraph cover email, and how the resume itself was reframed around the company's known pain point (a stalled product launch). Luna pushes back on whether this works outside tech, and Lucas shares data from a 2025 LinkedIn survey suggesting 40% of hires never involve a public application. The episode closes with a simple template listeners can adapt for their own cold outreach. #ResumeWriting #HiddenJobMarket #ColdResume #Networking #JobSearch #CareerStrategy #CoverLetter #JobHunt #Recruitment #MarketingCareers #SaaSCareers #LinkedInStrategy #JobSearchTips #CareerAdvice #ResumeTips #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Podcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
