Many people now hire resume writers, so even a professionally written resume usually looks average. I have helped thousands of people secure interviews in the most crowded job markets, and I'm especially qualified to make your resume stand out: 1. I have written resumes for people from C-level executives to new graduates. As a seasoned resume writer, I'm an expert in this field’s current practices. 2. I have also been a recruiter, so I know how hiring managers select a resume from hundreds of others, and I understand the full hiring process. 3. I’m up to date with applicant-tracking software (ATS) systems. More than 90% of resumes sent for a typical opening won’t be seen by human eyes because ATS systems first screen them. They require effective use of keywords and certain types of formatting. There are more than 200 ATS systems and they change quickly. 4. I have been a voracious reader for 30 years (with a 10,000-volume home library). Reading intensively on a daily basis has made me a more astute critic than writers who read less are--I can notice more of a resume's shortcomings. I can also see more nuances in a resume's language and understand how they will affect the hiring manager's impressions. 5. I have traveled extensively in China, Southeast Asia, India, the Middle East, Africa, and Europe. I studied and wrote about their cultures in 2 books and over 200 articles. Extra creativity and the ability to look at people and their resumes in novel ways, with a larger range of ideas, make a big difference now that resume writing has become more competitive. I will be able to see all of your strengths in more ways than other resume writers will, and my versatility as a writer will allow me to give them more impact. I'll be happy to give your resume a free critique and tell you what I can do to improve it. This is the best way to test a resume writer because it allows you to see his ability to evaluate a resume and think of ways to distinguish you. It also enables you to see his knowledge of the job market, which has recently undergone several profound changes. I have also learned how to craft resumes in ways that can influence the interview in your favor, and I can provide interview coaching. I also write cover letters, LinkedIn profiles, webpages, personal bios, and articles. As a resume writer and an explorer of world cultures, I focus on discovering the richness in people, and I've found that each person is unique and infinitely deep. I love to find more wonders in people and societies and write about them. I look forward to giving you a great new resume and many ideas about taking the next step in your career.

Are you a senior professional, federal applicant, or academic whose resume isn't generating the interviews your experience deserves? Most resumes fail not because of weak experience, but because they're written for the wrong reader. I specialize in three high-stakes resume tracks where generic templates don't work: 🎯 EXECUTIVE & C-SUITE Resumes, board bios, and LinkedIn profiles for Directors, VPs, GMs, CEOs, and board candidates. Recent work includes public-company board candidate packages and GM/CEO transition documents positioned for executive search firms and hiring boards. 🎯 FEDERAL (GS-9 to SES) USAJOBS-compliant federal resumes built for HR specialist screening — with proper occupational series alignment, KSA narratives, specialized experience statements, and the length federal HR actually expects (not the one-page myth that gets applicants rejected). 🎯 ACADEMIC (PhD & Faculty) Full academic CVs, teaching philosophy statements, research statements, and cover letters for tenure-track, postdoctoral, and faculty applications. Recent placements include criminal justice and social science faculty roles. WHAT I DELIVER ✔️ Resume / CV written for the specific reader who decides — not a polished generic template ✔️ Cover letter that opens with the strategic problem you solve, not your job history ✔️ LinkedIn profile rewrite (headline, About, experience) optimized for how recruiters and search firms actually filter candidates ✔️ Board bios, executive summaries, teaching & research statements as needed ✔️ Federal KSAs, occupational series alignment, and USAJOBS formatting ✔️ Unlimited revisions until the document reflects you accurately WHY MY APPROACH IS DIFFERENT Most resume writers optimize for keyword density. I optimize for the 30-second read by the person who actually decides — a hiring executive, a federal HR specialist, or a faculty search committee chair. Keywords matter, but positioning, narrative, and reader-specific structure matter more. ✔️For executives: I write for board members and search consultants, not ATS bots. ✔️For federal: I write for HR specialists who score against specialized experience, not generalist recruiters. ✔️For academia: I write for search committee chairs who read CVs in a very specific sequence. HOW TO START Send me your current resume plus one target job posting (or describe the role you're aiming at). Within 2 hours, I'll reply with three specific things I'd change — before you commit to anything. That way you can judge my thinking, not just my portfolio. If we're a fit, we move forward. If not, you keep the feedback. Click "Message" or "Invite" to start.
