Your resume and related career documents get you in the door. They are critical to getting more interviews. Only distinct and compelling resumes make the cut.
Each sample resume tells the client’s unique success story in each job. To tell your best story, I take the time to learn about you and who you are … your professional goals and strengths (your sweet spot) … your personal traits … the particular business challenges that consistently make you the “go-to” person, your unique combination of sets, and, of course, the results delivered.
My approach captures your brand … all the things I need to present a clear focus and write compelling content that sets you apart with a format appropriate for you and your career … no generic templates.
The resume samples are published in Martin Yate’s Knock ‘em Dead Resumes, David Noble’s Gallery of Best Resumes, the JIST Expert Resumes series and other career books.
