Your Resume is not just a Resume:  It’s your most powerful tool in your job search arsenal, a fully-loaded vehicle for marketing and communicating your personal brand to prospective employers!  A professionally-written resume from expert HR-trained eyes will significantly shorten your job search and produce better, more targeted responses almost immediately.  Without a stellar resume, the buck stops here.  Literally.

It’s all about understanding what you bring to the table and why that’s uber-valuable to your next employer.  My job is to take all the details and craft them into a masterpiece, a truly great “story” that creates a personal brand around your top skills, experience and expertise.  And if you’re changing career fields, taking your transferrable skills and previous accomplishments and crafting that in a way that communicates your ability adapt, grow and thrive in a new career field or role.

THE PROCESS:  Every resume writing process (including LinkedIn, Brand Analysis and Personal Brand Portfolio) starts off with a 20-30 minute phone conversation with you to discuss your challenges, interests and professional goals in depth, so I can best tailor your resume to tell your story.  We address the 5 key areas:

• Branding:  Determine what your brand should be saying about you, and the overall message you want to employers to get about you.  This is the bread and butter of your resume and other branding tools, and we’ll use this to create a document that brands and sells your most relevant skills, strengths and core competencies, and that avoids cliche, dull language that doesn’t uniquely communicate the brand of YOU.

• Voice:  Ensure that the voice of your document clearly speaks to and supports your level of experience, and doesn’t over- or under-qualify you.

• Target:  Establish the types of roles and organizations you want your brand to speak to and qualify you for, and utilize keyword optimization.  We’ll position your skills and experience in a way that best supports your career objective, whether you’re seeking a new role in your field, or shifting careers completely.

• Format:  Identify any existing challenges with your current strategy, and determine the best type of resume to fit your career objectives – chronological (traditional), functional, or hybrid format.

• Readability:  Combine your most relevant job experience, responsibilities and accomplishments into an eye-catching, easy-to-read format that best communicates and highlights the most relevant information in a clear and concise format.  Never underestimate the power of good typography and layout (many forget this)!
