Resume services: resume writing and consultations
I've provided resume writing services for two decades. I started writing resumes years before I officially started my writing business in 2009. Unlike "resume mills" and sites that require you to fill out a lengthy questionnaire that auto-fills a stock resume template, you work directly with me and I'm the only one drafting a fresh version of your resume. If you have an existing resume, I can provide feedback on applicant tracking system (ATS) readability, content strategy, formatting and presentation.
As market demands have shifted, I currently have two virtual offerings:

- New or revised resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile | Multi-week engagement: Pre-interview document review, 1 hour interview, LinkedIn keyword research (if selected), initial draft development, plus one round of revisions (if needed)
From resumes for senior leadership to those transitioning into a new career, I use my journalism background to conduct a custom interview. I learn about your most important skills and accomplishments. Using the interview as a foundation, I then succinctly craft descriptions, and quantify and draw attention to your most important work to get hiring managers' attention. I also explain how online resumes work to make them search engine-friendly, and optimize LinkedIn profiles (LinkedIn has unique search algorithms).
To get started: Fill out the form and I'll send you payment details and a link to my calendar. You'll pay and choose the next date that works for our 1-hour call. You'll send your latest document drafts at least one week in advance of the call, if you have them.

When you need a new resume
You may be looking for your first job, your resume is outdated, or you're proactively interested in moving to a new industry or area of work. In the wake of the pandemic, "The Great Resignation", and inflation, job seekers have different resume needs. When we work together I help you stand out to hiring managers with respect to these market factors.
No matter how much time you spend refining it, a resume will never be finished. A resume must do its job--which is get you a job interview. A professional resume and cover letter free of errors need to quickly convey your most relevant assets. Plus, the content must match a style and form unique to your experience and industry. Font choice, layout, bullet styles--these choices are just as important as what your resume says in words.
