Stop Bragging About Being Busy
Stop listing tasks and start showing why you actually move the needle
Hey Future HR Superstar! š
Your resume isnāt meant to show how busy youāve been ā itās meant to prove why youāre impossible to ignore.
If it still lists tasks like āran employee engagement activitiesā or āsupported recruitment,ā youāre blending in with every other HR out there.
The fix? The Impact Formula. Itās how you take ordinary HR work and reframe it as business results that make hiring managers pay attention. Because letās be honest ā ācut attrition costs by 12%ā sounds a lot sexier than āconducted exit interviews.ā
ā”ļøThis week, Iāll show you 5 sharp ways to apply the Impact Formula so your next application lands you in the shortlist pile, not the maybe-later folder.

The best HR advice comes from people whoāve been in the trenches.
Thatās what this newsletter delivers.
I Hate it Here is your insiderās guide to surviving and thriving in HR, from someone whoās been there. Itās not about theory or buzzwords ā itās about practical, real-world advice for navigating everything from tricky managers to messy policies.
Every newsletter is written by Hebba Youssef ā a Chief People Officer whoās seen it all and is here to share what actually works (and what doesnāt). Weāre talking real talk, real strategies, and real support ā all with a side of humor to keep you sane.
Because HR shouldnāt feel like a thankless job. And you shouldnāt feel alone in it.
