As a professional career service consultant, I take your reputation seriously. I'm committed to delivering writing excellence and superior service while operating with unflinching integrity and discretion.
I'm a strong writer and interviewer with proven business experience.
By combining writing and interviewing ability with my understanding of the corporate environment and expectations of executive recruiters, I consistently deliver well-written, polished documents.
As a result, recruitment firms I partner with trust me to prepare high-quality documents for their clients.
I'm a member of the Professional Association of Resume Writers and Career Coaches and apply industry best practices surrounding keyword optimization, resume design, and resume writing grammar and style to our work.
I as well review and proofread every resume I work on, so you can rest assured that my meticulous standards will be upheld at all times.
My executive clients recognize that their resume serves as a personal marketing document and are willing to invest in a service that ensures they present themselves in the best possible light.
Simply put, my fees reflect the amount of time it takes to prepare a truly polished, professional resume and are comparable to what you could expect to pay a reputable consultant or professional services firm.
Between the initial consultation, background research and analysis, writing process, and revisions, I typically spend 12-15 hours on a resume.
You'll also work one-on-one with me every step of the way (I don’t hire ghostwriters or outsource writing internationally, for example).
My comprehensive approach results in achievement-driven documents that differentiate you from similar applicants.
I design all documents to adhere to the highest professional standards and to align with how executive recruiters expect to see a resume presented.
I incorporate design elements that will make your messages visually inviting, maximize skim-value, and draw the reader’s attention to the most important information on the page.
I believe that the best approach to resume design is to let your experience speak for itself. Your resume should not give off the impression that you are trying too hard (or that a resume writer prepared it for you).
Because I find that they are not well received by recruiters in most professions, I do not produce documents with extensive colors, images, or graphic design. In addition, such elements aren’t always compatible with applicant tracking systems (ATS).

Your resume is just one component of the job search process, and as a result, I cannot guarantee that you will receive interviews or job offers as a result of using my services.
No trustworthy resume writer can or should guarantee placement. Too many variables beyond my control—your fit for a particular role, quality of other applicants, and interview results—can influence a hiring decision.
However, you can be confident that I will identify and highlight your strongest credentials, preparing documents that effectively communicate them to recruiters.
We also encourage you to read my verified reviews on Sitejabber to get a better understanding of what to expect from my service and the results our clients have experienced.
