Before I became a resume writer, I spent three years as an executive recruiter. I sat across the table from hiring managers. I screened hundreds of resumes. I know exactly what gets a resume set aside in the first ten seconds — and what makes someone want to pick up the phone. I've spent the past 22+ years applying everything I learned on both sides of that process to help clients at every career level write resumes that actually work. I'm one of fewer than 44 Certified Master Resume Writers worldwide, the first-ever recipient of the Certified Resume Specialist for New Graduates (CRS-NG) credential, and I've been quoted in 50+ publications on career and resume strategy. I write every project personally, always.
