I take the pain out of resume and profile writing! You are probably at the top of your game in your field, but that doesn't mean you can effectively write a resume that showcases your talents and captures the interest of prospective employers. That's my job. You never face a blank page - I do ALL of the writing! Clients enjoy talking about their careers, but few enjoy writing about them. I do the writing. Making your skills and accomplishments shine Resumes are all about the value prospects can bring to a prospective employer. Often my clients don't fully appreciate their value, skills and accomplishments and some find it hard to write words they consider self-promoting or to relay accolades they've received. I've even had clients who've forgotten significant qualifications - one even forgot he was a Certified Project Manager! My job is to make sure nothing is overlooked. I am easy to talk with and know how to interview and listen I use an easy-going conversational interview process which my clients actually enjoy, I am a good listener and develop the right interview questions to uncover the information we need for your resume. My clients find this process gives them a refreshed perspective on their job history and accomplishments. One client said, "You helped me see my career in a whole new light," I write--you approve After capturing, synthesizing, and relating your skills and qualifications to the job you are seeking, I produce a resume that clearly communicates your value to prospective employers. Your role in this is to review, critique, and approve and I am not finished until you are pleased! Invariably my clients feel empowered and confident, armed with a fresh view to their career and a resume that sells their skills and abilities. Industry experience My resume writing experience spans many industries: Government officials moving to private industry or non-profits (CIA, State Department) Law enforcement, security and policing (specialize in police chiefs moving to private industry) Information technology (I am a former IBM employee who is experienced in technology) Healthcare Mid-to-late career changers Other writing services Business Reports and Proposals: I also write business reports and proposals for small consulting firms and have a special skill in relaying technical information to non-technicians (have 20+ years producing winning outsourcing proposals for information technology).
