    You're taking advice from too many sources (many of which are sharing outdated best practices or straight misinformation)

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

I don't specialize in any particular field or industry. Rather I specialize in creating resumes that position you as the best fit for the job you want, get through Applicant Tracking Systems, and stand out in all the right ways to decision-makers in the hiring process.

If you're planning to look and apply for jobs online, I believe it's more important to find a resume writer who understands the hiring trends and technologies that prevent qualified job seekers from moving forward in the process than a resume writer who has worked in or holds expertise in a particular field or industry.

I've written management, senior leadership, and executive-level resumes for most major industries specifically:

  • Accounting Resumes
  • Administrative Resumes
  • Advertising and Marketing Resumes
  • Architectural Services Resumes
  • Arts, Entertainment, and Media Resumes
  • Banking Resumes
  • Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical Resumes
  • Community, Social Services, and Nonprofit Resumes
  • Trades and Construction Resumes
  • Consulting Resumes
  • Call Center and Customer Service Resumes
  • Education and Training Resumes
  • Engineering Resumes
  • Economics and Finance Resumes
  • Financial Services Resumes
  • Government and Policy Resumes
  • Healthcare (Nursing and Technician) Resumes
  • Tourism and Hospitality Resumes
  • Human Resources Resumes
  • Information Technology Resumes
  • Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Resumes
  • Insurance Resumes
  • Internet and E-Commerce Resumes
  • Law Enforcement and Security Resumes
  • Manufacturing and Production Resumes
  • Personal Care and Service Resumes
  • Public Relations and Media Relations Resumes
  • Real Estate Resumes
  • Restaurant and Food Service Resumes
  • Retail Resumes
  • Sales Resumes
  • Sports and Recreation Resumes
  • Supply Chain Resumes
  • Telecommunications Resumes
  • Transportation and Warehousing Resumes

However, I do recommend reaching out to another resume writer with expertise in the following industries and areas: (My top recommended experts for each are linked)

If you plan to build and leverage a network in a particular field or industry to try and "bypass" online applications, I'd be happy to reach out to my network and see if anyone I'm connected to in the career services industry would be a better fit for you.

If you have advanced through multiple promotions, recruitment, or networking and haven't needed a resume until now and don't know where to begin—I got you!

I've designed these fill-in-the-blank style resume templates that get through ATS, are easy for recruiters to skim, and and catch the attention of hiring decision-makers in all the right ways.

Refunds are not available for 12-point Resume and LinkedIn Profile Critiques or Job Search Accelerator since these are either personalized and/or non-returnable deliverables.

Rebranding Revisions include revisions like any writing project, but your first draft may serve as a final document. Consequently, there are no refunds once your first drafts have been sent by email.

  • Ditch the guesswork. Land more interviews. Get hired faster.

    If you're stuck, overwhelmed, or quietly spiraling from one rejection to the next, you're not alone.

    And you don't have to do this alone, either.

    You don’t need another motivational quote or pep talk—you need a real plan.

  • HOW I SUPPORT YOU:

    ✔️ My Signature 5-week Roadmap

    No more wondering what to do next. You’ll follow a clear, week-by-week plan that tells you what to prioritize, when to pivot, and how to stay focused so you’re not wasting time or energy. I also provide feedback along the way when you complete Action Challenges.

    ✔️ Quick Win Reviews

    Every week, you can submit one item (like your resume, cover letter, LinkedIn profile, or a message to a hiring manager). I’ll give you quick, actionable feedback—fast. No fluff, no corporate jargon, just what works.

    ✔️ Job Posting Snapshots

    I break down real job postings that you submt every week and show you exactly what matters: keywords, key goals, and resume tailoring tips. No more guessing. You’ll know how to align your materials with what employers actually want.

    ✔️ Co-working Sessions

    Once a month, we get together for live co-working. Bring your questions, get unstuck, and make progress in real time alongside other motivated job seekers. I'll be there to help you troubleshoot, strategize, and move forward.

    ✔️ On-demand Video Library

    From LinkedIn hacks to interview insights, you’ll get 24/7 access to training videos that keep you sharp and ready for whatever the job market throws your way.

    ✔️ Career Risers Community

    Job searching is exhausting. That’s why I’ve built a private community where you can connect with other motivated job seekers, share wins, ask for help, and stay accountable without the noise of social media.

Still on the fence or asking yourself, "Is this the best fit for me?"

Your experience should open doors, not hold you back.

I work with mid to late career professionals and career changers like you who are:

  • Struggling to position decades of experience in a way that feels relevant, strategic, and aligned with today’s job market

  • Worried that age bias or outdated job search strategies are holding you back from landing interviews, even though you’re highly qualified

  • Frustrated by job search rejections or ghosting and unsure how to adjust your approach to get better results

Since 2014, I’ve helped hundreds of job seekers at all career levels turn years of experience into a clear, compelling career story that attracts the right opportunities without underselling their expertise.

With Job Search Accelerator, you’ll:

✅ Refine your job search strategy so you’re targeting the right roles with confidence.

✅ Position your experience as a competitive asset, not just a list of past job titles.

✅ Get expert feedback and clear next steps so you’re never stuck wondering what to fix.

Your tech skills are in demand, so why aren't you getting noticed?

I work with early, mid, and late career job seekers like you targeting jobs in IT or tech who are either:

  • Unsure how to stand out in a competitive job market where everyone seems to have similar technical skills and certifications

  • Struggling to position yourself for the next step because your experience spans multiple roles, industries, or technologies

  • Suspecting that ATS, AI, and other hiring tech are cutting you off from recruiters filling tech jobs you know you'd thrive in

Since 2014, I’ve helped hundreds of tech job seekers at all career levels cut through hiring barriers and land roles that align with their skills, goals, and salary expectations.

With Job Search Accelerator, you’ll:

✅ Get expert guidance tailored to your job search so you’re not wasting time on outdated strategies.

✅ Learn how to optimize every application so you can apply with confidence and get in front of the right hiring managers.

✅ Gain clarity on what’s working (and what’s not) with targeted feedback to refine your approach and increase your response rate.

The job search has changed. Your strategy should, too.

I work with senior leaders and executives like you who:

  • Haven’t had to job search in years because promotions, headhunters, or referrals have always opened doors for you

  • Anticipate age bias may be affecting your job search, despite your wealth of experience

  • Need a compelling, modern application strategy to position yourself for today’s hiring market and high-level opportunities

Since 2014, I’ve helped hundreds of senior and executive leaders confidently navigate career transitions, craft strong personal brands, and secure leadership roles that match their expertise and influence.

With Job Search Accelerator, you’ll:

✅ Showcase the right strengths and align your leadership impact, strategic vision, and financial results with what decision-makers expect.

✅ Step into your search with confidence, presenting yourself as a future-focused leader ready for your next challenge.

✅ Position yourself for the roles you truly want—not just any opportunity, but the right opportunity at the right level.

Job Search Accelerator is not designed for the unique challenges faced by federal/state government job seekers. You can get better resume support from me in the Fix Your Federal Resume Course.
