As an experienced, certified resume writer, resume coach and LinkedIn expert, I can help you make the best possible impression. If your written materials aren’t getting the results you want, please contact me for a free consultation.
There’s a lot you need your resume and your LinkedIn profile to accomplish. To get results, it must:
- Communicate your unique value proposition–your personal brand–within 20-30 seconds.
- Show not just what you’ve done, but how well you’ve done it. (This is essential!)
- Stand out among hundreds of other resumes or profiles–for the right reasons.
- Be free of clichés, unproven claims, excessive superlatives, and other “pet peeves” of HR and hiring managers.
- Contain the right key words, both for the human eye and electronic searches.
- Convey credibility and professionalism without being boring.
- Be flawless, with no typos or errors.
- Minimize anything that might count against you, such as an unconventional work history, lack of experience, gaps, mature age, etc.
- Get you invited to interviews.
Crafting effective career marketing materials isn’t easy. Let me help.
I enjoy getting to know you, applying my strategic problem-solving and writing skills, and getting emails that say “I love it! It’s getting me interviews!” That’s what I strive for with every project.
Need a persuasive letter? I apply the same care and skill in working with you to create impressive cover letters, letters of introduction and thank-you letters.
Document Review and Coaching – Resumes and LinkedIn Profiles:
The most affordable (and often the fastest) way to work with me for great job search communications is through a resume review (resume critique) or LinkedIn profile review. I will give you specific, customized guidance as you transform your resume or profile. I can then provide light editing and simple formatting to polish your final draft.
This do-it-yourself approach is a good plan if you have time, motivation and above-average writing skills. (If you don’t, please see “Writing Services,” below.) . The packages are as follows:
Basic Resume Review – $90 ($105 value, save $15)–or $45 with any Interview Coaching package
- 30-minute phone consultation
- Free copy of my Resume Resources or LinkedIn Resources
Closer Look – $410 ($450 value, save $40)
- Personalized written recommendations, based on review of your existing draft and two job postings you select, telling you how to improve your resume or profile to better support your career goals (1.5 hr.)
- Up to 1 hour of the following as you rewrite your document: Q&A, review of drafts or light editing
- Free copy of my Resume Resources or LinkedIn Resources
One-Week Coach-and-Edit – $650 ($720 value, save $70)
- Everything in the Closer Look package above, PLUS:
- After you revise your draft, a 1.5-hr. edit of the revised draft within 2 business days of my receiving it
Note: Your revised draft must be received within 5 days after I provide your written recommendations, so please schedule this project during a week when you have enough time to do your revision.
Cover Letters:
For cover letters I offer coaching and light editing at $180 per hour.
Writing Services:
If you prefer to have your materials written for you, please let me know. Great resume writers are hard to find (you would be surprised how many “horror stories” I’ve heard and seen). I have referred dozens of job seekers to certain highly expert, talented and dependable professionals, with excellent results.
Ready to move forward? Or still have questions? Either way, contact me and let’s discuss how I can help you get a great job sooner with career marketing documents that work.
