Didn't send a CV. Sent my content portfolio instead. Here's what happened next. 1. Nuvex Nova posted a role. I didn't have the traditional background for it. 2. Instead of a resume, I sent them my actual work. What I'd built, not what I'd claim I could build. 3. The founder saw it. Actually looked at it, not skimmed it. We got on a call. Not a screening call with HR. The CEO, personally. (This is the part I still think about. Nobody tells you the portfolio is the actual resume now.) A bunch of conversations later, I'm officially their Content Strategist. Quick version of who Nuvex Nova actually is, because it's genuinely a good idea: They're an AI platform where you book vetted pros, plumbers, electricians, HVAC, and more, for home repairs. Every worker (they call them "Taskers") is background-checked. Every job is tracked live with GPS. And you don't pay until the work is actually signed off and approved. Not a phone number and a hope. An actual system that stays accountable until the job's done right. Now I get to build the whole content strategy around that. How they talk about themselves, what they stand for, how people find them and actually trust them before they've even booked anything. Their messaging and scripting frameworks. Content angles and formats for their platform, and etc. I will become the face of their brand, I will shoot the videos, edit them, post them. The part that still gets me: none of this happened because of a perfect resume format or the right keywords. It happened because I showed the actual thing instead of describing it. P.S. Want to see what the portfolio that got me the call actually looked like? Comment "portfolio" and I'll send it over.
