๐Ÿฅ‡ Expert-vetted top 1% on Upwork. ๐Ÿฅ‡ Industry leader with 10+ years partnering directly with hiring managers at Google, Meta, Apple, Tesla, and Amazon. I've written 5,000+ resumes and reviewed 100,000+ applications. My clients have a 95% interview rate within 60 days. That's not luck. That's strategy. Recruiting is split into two worlds: 50% algorithm, 50% human judgment. Most candidates fail at one. I make sure you win at both. I specialize in the 10-second test, passing ATS filters that screen 80% before any human reviews your application. My expertise comes from a decade of hands-on work with ATS platforms like Workday, Lever, Greenhouse, iCIMS, BambooHR, and Jobvite. I understand exactly how these systems parse resumes and what signals matter to both machines and hiring managers. This goes far beyond keyword stuffing. I've spent years reverse-engineering what actually works across different environments and how to design resumes that pass automated screening and command recruiter attention. My MBA thesis focused on technology and talent acquisition has earned me the chance to be featured in MarketWatch, Yahoo Finance, and Digital Journal, which informs every resume I build. Every project is handled personally by me. No outsourcing. No templates. No cookie-cutter approaches. Just a tailored strategy that reflects your unique value and authentic voice. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ๐Ÿ“ข โ€œBut what about AI? Donโ€™t online resume builders handle that now?โ€ ๐Ÿ“ข Fair question. Tools like ChatGPT or Claude are fast, but they're not strategic. They generate clean formats and surface-level keyword matches, which sounds good until you realize the output looks like 10,000 other resumes. Generic. Repetitive. Disconnected from your career narrative. Here's what tools can't do: capture complexity. A non-linear career path. Leadership potential buried in your experience. Technical depth that needs to translate into business value. These platforms aren't built to understand how hiring managers actually evaluate talent or what signals they're reading between the lines. I understand the technical layer (how ATS parses resumes) and the human layer (how recruiters assess intent, growth, and cultural fit). That combination is where strategy happens. I don't just fill in templates. I structure your entire narrative around what actually drives hiring decisions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ๐Ÿ•’ Ready to get serious about your next move? Here is how it works. ๐Ÿ•’ 1) Strategy Conversation: We start by understanding your goals, what's been holding you back, and how you want to position yourself in the market. 2) Diagnostics: I audit your current resume against ATS requirements and what hiring managers are actually looking for. You get clear feedback on what's working and what needs to change. 3) Narrative Mapping: We map out your career story. This isn't just listing achievements, it's positioning them so they answer what hiring teams are actually asking. 4) Resume Drafting: I build your resume with every section intentional. Achievements are contextualized, keywords are strategic, and your voice comes through. 5) Refinement Rounds: You review the draft, I iterate based on your feedback. We continue until the final version reflects both strategic precision and your authentic voice. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Resume Writing | Resume Strategy | Career Positioning | ATS Optimization | Executive Resume | Senior Resume | Tech Resume | Career Transition | Job Search Strategy | Interview Preparation | LinkedIn Optimization | LinkedIn Profile Writing | Personal Branding | Career Coaching | Recruiting Strategy | Hiring Systems | Keyword Optimization | Resume Formatting | Certified Resume Writer | CPRW | Modern Resume | CV Writing | Talent Acquisition | FAANG

Your resume is the single most important tool in advancing your career often your only chance to communicate your value directly to a hiring manager and prove you have what it takes. Unfortunately, many so-called โ€œresume writersโ€ offer quick fixes without a real understanding of what works. They often lack the strategy and insight needed to truly enhance your resume, which can cost you time, money, and missed opportunities. I take a different approach. Now serving clients across North America, I combine deep industry knowledge with an understanding of local hiring. โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ โ€œIsa is always ready to accept new work and challenges and has helped me move in a direction that has helped me grow career-wise.

Applying for jobs but not getting enough interviews? Your resume may not be the problem because you lack experience. In many cases, the issue is that your resume is not clearly showing your value, matching the right keywords, or giving recruiters a strong reason to keep reading. That is where I help. With nearly a decade of experience in resume writing, resume screening, recruitment, and talent acquisition, I understand how resumes are reviewed from both sides of the hiring process. I have written and reviewed over 3,000 ATS-optimized resumes and analyzed more than 15,000 resumes across global job markets, giving me a practical understanding of what makes a resume pass Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) and attract hiring manager attention. I have also worked closely with hiring managers, recruiters, and HR professionals, so your career documents are not written based on guesswork. They are built around how real hiring decisions are made. In todayโ€™s competitive job market, recruiters do not read your resume like a biography. They scan it quickly, looking for role fit, relevant keywords, measurable achievements, and proof that you can deliver results. ๐—œ๐˜€ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜‚๐—บ๐—ฒ ๐—”๐—ง๐—ฆ-๐—ณ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—น๐˜†, ๐—ธ๐—ฒ๐˜†๐˜„๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฑ-๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ต, ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐˜€๐—ถ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ด๐—ฒ๐˜ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜„๐˜€? Many strong candidates are overlooked because their resumes are too task-based, too generic, poorly structured, or not aligned with the roles they are targeting. My goal is to help you avoid that by turning your experience into a clear, achievement-focused, metrics-driven, and recruiter-ready career document. I do not just โ€œedit resumes.โ€ I help you reposition your experience so ATS systems can read it properly and hiring managers can quickly understand why you are a strong fit. ๐Ÿ’ผ WHAT I HELP YOU WITH I provide end-to-end career document and job search support designed to help you present yourself clearly, confidently, and professionally. โœ… ATS-Optimized Resume Writing & CV Writing Keyword-rich, achievement-focused, and tailored to your target role so your experience is easier for ATS systems and recruiters to understand โœ… LinkedIn Profile Optimization A stronger headline, About section, experience section, and recruiter keyword alignment to improve your professional visibility โœ… Cover Letter Writing & Templates Custom cover letters and reusable cover letter templates that help you communicate your value clearly across multiple applications โœ… Executive & Mid-Career Resume Positioning Strategic resume positioning for leadership, senior, specialist, and mid-career roles where clarity, authority, and measurable impact matter โœ… Career Coaching & Job Search Strategy Step-by-step guidance to help you understand your career direction, target the right roles, and apply with stronger positioning โœ… Interview Preparation & Coaching Behavioral and role-specific interview preparation to help you communicate your experience with confidence โœ… Remote Job Optimization & International CVs Career documents built for remote roles, international opportunities, and global job market positioning ๐ŸŽฏ MY APPROACH This is not a template-based service. Your resume should not simply list what you were responsible for. It should show what you achieved, how you created value, and why your experience fits the role you want next. I take your raw experience and transform it into a clear, compelling, and strategically positioned career narrative that highlights: โ€ข Measurable achievements and business impact โ€ข Metrics-driven storytelling โ€ข Industry-specific keywords recruiters actually search โ€ข Clean, ATS-friendly formatting and structure โ€ข Alignment with modern recruiting practices and Applicant Tracking Systems โ€ข Strong positioning for remote roles, leadership roles, international opportunities, and career transitions Whether you are applying for a better role, moving into a new industry, targeting remote jobs, seeking international opportunities, or preparing for senior-level positions, your documents will be tailored to your target roles and industry expectations. The focus is simple: make your value clear, make your resume easy to scan, and give recruiters a reason to invite you for an interview. ๐Ÿš€ WHY CLIENTS CHOOSE ME โœ… ATS Expertise + Real Recruiting Insight Your resume will not be written only for software. It will be written for both ATS algorithms and the human recruiters, hiring managers, and talent acquisition teams making real hiring decisions โœ… Strategic, Not Generic Every resume, LinkedIn profile, and cover letter is custom-built around your target role, your strongest achievements, relevant keywords, and the expectations of your industry โœ… Proven Results Clients choose me when they are tired of applying without traction and need career documents that are built to pass ATS, communicate value quickly, and improve their chances of landing interviews โœ… End-to-End Support From resume writing and LinkedIn optimizat
