Through nearly a decade of experience in media and communications, coupled with a creative background in comedy, I have cultivated strong writing and editing skills tailored to specific mediums. My previous role as a communications coordinator for YMCA of the USA (Y-USA) been especially helpful in developing my writing skills. I managed content for several internal and external channels, including Y Exchange (an intranet that serves YMCAs across the country), the public YMCA homepage, newsletters, blogs, articles and social media. In this position I drafted, edited, and built content within the Y’s CMS on a daily basis to communicate initiatives and success stories. Prior to my role with Y-USA, I honed my AP Style and copyediting skills at Walker Sands Communications. As a media relations specialist, I drafted pitches, press releases, announcements, and contributed content on a daily basis. Outside of these roles, I've developed a knack for writing and tailoring resumes/cover letters. Well-versed in creative communications as a whole, I'm confident I can utilize my knowledge and skills to help you with your next project. Let's get started!

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.
