How to Write a Resume for a Neurodiverse Candidate

In this episode of The Resume Room, Lucas and Luna explore how neurodivergent job seekers — including those with ADHD, autism, and dyslexia — can reframe their resumes to highlight strengths like hyperfocus, pattern recognition, and systems thinking.
