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 listing.​ 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 best 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 relevant.

 

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.

  • I'll request your existing document—whatever state it happens to be in.

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

  • Once we agree we're a good fit, I'll send an agreement and get you officially on my schedule.

  • I'll send you some design options, then dive in to 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!).

  • Once you're happy with it, I'll do a final proofread and send you an invoice.
