Resume & CV Writer | ATS, LinkedIn, ERAS CV & Personal Statements I’m a Professional Resume & CV Writer specializing in ATS-friendly resumes, resume optimization, LinkedIn profile optimization, executive career branding, ERAS CVs, and Personal Statements. If you have strong experience but your resume or LinkedIn profile isn't getting the response you expect, I can help you present your background in a way that is clear, professional, compelling, and aligned with the roles or opportunities you're targeting. I don't believe in generic resume templates, cosmetic changes, or simply replacing words with "power verbs." My process focuses on understanding your background, identifying your strongest value proposition, and positioning your experience from the perspective of recruiters and hiring managers. What I Specialize In Resume & CV Writing Professional Resume Writing & Development Resume & CV Editing and Optimization Executive Resume & CV Writing Resume Audit and Content Review Achievement-focused, results-driven resume writing Resume Design, Structure & Formatting Tailored resumes for specific roles and industries Career-focused resume development ATS Resume Optimization ATS-friendly Resume Writing Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) Keyword Optimization Job Description & Resume Alignment ATS Resume Review Recruiter-friendly resume formatting Strategic keyword placement Optimizing resumes for ATS screening while keeping them readable to hiring managers LinkedIn Profile Optimization LinkedIn Profile Optimization LinkedIn Profile Development LinkedIn Headline & About Section Experience and Skills Optimization LinkedIn Personal Branding Recruiter & Algorithm Visibility Professional profile positioning ERAS CV & Application Documents ERAS CV Personal Statements Statement of Purpose Cover Letters Tailored application documents Job application materials More Than Just Resume Editing A strong resume should do more than list your responsibilities. It should communicate what you accomplished, the value you created, the problems you solved, the scope you managed, and the results you delivered. I work to turn responsibilities into quantified, results-driven achievements wherever the information supports it, while keeping every claim accurate and authentic to your actual experience. I can also help when you're changing careers, changing industries, pursuing a more senior role, or repositioning your professional background. In these situations, I focus on identifying transferable skills, developing a compelling professional narrative, and positioning your experience for the next stage of your career. A Recruiter's Perspective My experience in recruiting and talent sourcing gives me a practical perspective when reviewing resumes and LinkedIn profiles. I understand that your documents need to work for both Applicant Tracking Systems and human reviewers. That means combining relevant keywords with clear writing, strong positioning, measurable achievements, and a professional presentation. For senior professionals, Directors, and executives, I place additional emphasis on leadership, strategic impact, business value, career progression, executive positioning, and personal branding. For example, I recently worked with a Director of Information Technology, revamping his resume and optimizing his LinkedIn profile to strengthen his professional positioning. Who I Work With I support entry-level, mid-level, senior, Director, and executive professionals, as well as candidates preparing specialized application materials such as ERAS CVs, Personal Statements, and Statements of Purpose. Whether you need a resume rewrite, CV revamp, ATS optimization, LinkedIn profile rewrite, executive resume, ERAS CV, Personal Statement, Statement of Purpose, or tailored cover letter, my goal is the same: Create professional career documents that accurately communicate your value, improve your positioning, and help you stand out to recruiters, hiring managers, admissions teams, or residency reviewers. If your current resume tells employers what you did but doesn't clearly show why your experience makes you a strong candidate, I can help you tell that story more effectively.

Need qualified candidates without spending hours searching LinkedIn, screening resumes, and chasing people who aren't actually interested? I help startups, agencies, and growing companies find, screen, and move qualified/hard to find candidates through the hiring process quickly especially for technical, sales, aviation, creative, and operational roles. My approach is simple: find the right people, qualify them properly, keep the pipeline organized, and give you candidates worth interviewing. What I Can Help You Hire I have experience sourcing across global markets including North America, Europe, Canada, Australia, Africa, India, and the Philippines. Roles I've sourced include: • Management Roles - Head of Sales, Regional Directors/Managers, Country Managers • Software Developers — Frontend, Backend & Full-Stack • DevOps & Cloud Engineers • Data Engineers/Annotators • Reconciliation Specialists • Technical Engineers & Tech Leads • Aircraft Maintenance Engineers — M1, M2, S & E • SDRs, BDRs & Account Executives • Head of Business Development & Sales Professionals • Head of Product Marketing • IT Project Manager (USA) • Customer Service Representatives ( Danish, Dutch, Spanish French) Speakers • AI Annotators • Video Editors & Creative Professionals • Photographers & Media Specialists • Other remote and operational roles What I Bring to Your Hiring Process I don't believe recruiting is about sending a pile of resumes and hoping one works. I focus on quality, speed, and communication throughout the pipeline. I can handle: • Candidate sourcing & talent research • LinkedIn & Boolean sourcing • Job board sourcing • Resume screening & shortlisting • Candidate pre-screening • Structured interviews • Candidate qualification • Interview scheduling & coordination • ATS & recruitment pipeline management • Candidate follow-up • Hiring manager updates • Recruitment workflow improvement Results That Matter • Sourced and shortlisted 50+ qualified candidates in one month • Recruited 400+ research participants within two weeks • Sourced 500+ marketing professionals across multiple international markets • Managed candidates from initial sourcing through screening and hiring recommendations • Built organized recruitment pipelines that helped reduce delays and candidate drop-off Tools I Work With LinkedIn | Boolean Search | Indeed | GitHub | Upwork | Zoho Recruit | BambooHR | BreezyHR | SAP SuccessFactors | Paycor Recruiting | Google Workspace | GoLogin | ATS & recruitment platforms Why Clients Work With Me I am someone who thinks more like a talent hunter than a traditional HR manager. You won't have to wonder where your candidates are in the process. I keep recruitment organized, communicate clearly, follow up consistently, and make sure every candidate presented has been properly evaluated against the role. Whether you're hiring one difficult-to-fill position or building a larger talent pipeline, I can take the sourcing and screening workload off your plate. If you need a proactive recruiter/headhunter who can source proactively, screen carefully, and keep your hiring pipeline organised and moving whether it's technical or non technical, operations or aviation roles, please send me a message. Looking forward to it.
