Hire the Best Career Coaches

Hi, I’m Kristina — a former recruiter and resume writer who has reviewed and re-written thousands of resumes across a variety of industries. I know exactly what hiring managers and applicant tracking systems (ATS) look for—and more importantly, what causes resumes to get overlooked. I specialize in rewriting and optimizing resumes so they are clear, results-driven, and aligned with today’s hiring standards. My goal is simple: help you stand out and increase your chances of landing interviews. Many job seekers struggle not because of their experience, but because their resume doesn’t clearly communicate their value. I transform basic, task-based resumes into strong, impact-focused documents that highlight achievements and measurable results. What I can help with: -Resume writing and full rewrites -LinkedIn profile optimization -ATS optimization and keyword alignment -Improving bullet points to reflect impact, not just responsibilities -Formatting and structure for clarity and professionalism If you’ve been applying to jobs and not hearing back, your resume likely needs more than small edits—it needs a strategic rewrite. Feel free to reach out—I’m happy to take a look and point you in the right direction.

AFTER 10+ YEARS IN HR… I decided to stop telling applicants “no” and instead, help them get that “yes.” Most of my HR career was spent in talent acquisition, and I have reviewed >100K résumés and cover letters. I’ve had in-depth conversations with hiring managers and possess an insider’s perspective of the hiring process. In 2019, I decided to leverage that perspective to help my clients strategize their next career move. WHAT IT'S LIKE TO PARTNER WITH ME I excel at skill mapping and supporting clients in strategizing career management campaigns that play to their individual strengths. My direct experience with applicant tracking systems allows me to create high-quality, impactful documents that are keyword-optimized and ATS-compliant. Additionally, I hold multiple certifications and professional association memberships, including: -Certified Professional Career Coach (CPCC) -Certified Professional Résumé Writer (CPRW) -Nationally Certified Online Profile Writer (NCOPE) -Member, Professional Association of Résumé Writers and Career Counselors (PARW/CC) -Member, National Résumé Writers’ Association (NRWA) -Member, Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) EXPERIENCE MATTERS I’ve successfully helped clients targeting a plethora of roles across industries, including: -C-suite Executives & Board Positions -Healthcare & Medical -Teaching (Primary, Secondary, and Higher Education) -Federal Government & Law Enforcement -Information Technology -Hospitality Management -Engineering & Facilities Management and so many more! WHY I WRITE Everyone has a story, even if they don’t know how to tell it. Writing is something that I’ve always had a knack for, and I’m thrilled to have found a career where I can use my talents to shape unique, compelling narratives. I’ve stepped into a job that I love – I want to help others do the same!

I turn applications into acceptances and offers! I'm addicted to helping people achieve their goals and understand the value in branding yourself, whether for a career, for admissions, or for your business. My documents are highly professional and tailored to each client to suit their needs. I provide consistent and reliable communication and services. As a dedicated career counselor and college admissions professional I provide highly personalized career counseling and college planning services, tailored to each client's needs. While I can help in all aspects of career development and college admissions planning, I specialize in the following: - resume writing and review - federal resume writing and review - federal job search strategies and applications - college planning - selective college admissions - college admission essay collaboration/writing - application document writing and review - one-on-one career counseling As a copy editor, I value wordsmithing after I've drafted a document to ensure it has the desired affect on readers and conveys the information in a logical but creative way.
