Why hire a professional resume writer?

Applying for jobs can take weeks or months. When you apply online, your professional value needs to be clear. Hiring professionals who review hundreds of resumes make resume selection decisions within a short time (from a few seconds to a minute). My goal is to help you get the job interviews you want and give you the tools to succeed during and after the interview.

We work together to review your career history, select key achievements, and phrase them in compelling ways — to emphasize the match between the target employer’s needs and your skills. Your goals, unique differentiators, experience, and voice drive the process.

A resume should not only capture your past results. It should position you strategically for your desired career direction.

My aim is to help you articulate your unique accomplishments and expedite your job search, while engaging you in a focused and time-efficient way. If you are currently employed and not looking for new work, I can assist with updating and strengthening your brand.

What are the benefits of a professionally written resume?
