Résumé Services

Let's make sure the content of your résumé matches what hiring managers are looking for. My focus is highlighting the value you bring that's relevant to the types of jobs you're applying to. I use keyword analysis from actual job listings to help your résumé rank well with ATS screening software, and I can teach you how to customize for each job opening.​ I'll make sure the formatting is ATS-friendly and easy for hiring managers to skim so your best skills and experience get noticed.

 

This is more than just a proofread. I start with a clean document to ensure no hidden formatting will throw off the bots. Then I structure your content to draw attention to your most relevant information so you can feel confident sending it out, even when faced with an employment gap or industry pivot. I'm experienced with tricky freelance résumés, and I can make the difficult cuts and adjustments to fit everything onto one page (as appropriate) without losing anything important.

 

I'm absolutely thrilled that I've helped clients land interviews with companies that auto-rejected their previous résumés.

The process

  • Fill out the interest form or send me an email saying you're interested in résumé services.

  • Send in your existing document—whatever state it happens to be in.

  • I'll send you a service agreement and an invoice. Payment of this gets you officially booked in my schedule.

  • We will chat to make sure I understand your career history and your goals. This can be over email, direct message, phone, or Zoom. I'm happy to use whatever means of communication best suits you for this consultation.

  • I'll give you my design options as starting points, then dive into the rewrite at the time we arranged.

  • When it's complete, you'll have a chance to let me know what still needs adjusting (or unadjusting!).

  • Some service packages include an additional consultation call to discuss LinkedIn and job search strategies.

"Thank you so much for all your patient effort! I've worked with various people on my résumé over the years, but never with a professional résumé editor and never with someone who put so much time into it. You really helped me feel better about my qualifications and experience, and the presentation is gorgeous. I'm really happy with the portfolio document too."
