Hello and welcome! Lisa Dunn here, coming to you from central Virginia.
Whether you're a seasoned professional, rockin' the C-suite, fresh out of school, or transitioning into a totally different career, I have no doubt that I can create a career narrative that captures attention, resonates with employers, and paves the way to your next big career move.
With over 16 years of combined expertise as a professional resume writer and online content producer, I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with clients across 40+ industries. My experience also includes ghostwriting for award-winning resume experts, all of which have sharpened my ability to transform career stories into standout successes.
If there’s one thing I truly enjoy (besides life with my husband and kids), it’s writing career stories that go beyond duty-focused verbiage. I’m especially passionate about helping job seekers across the U.S. realize that sharing accomplishments and metrics isn’t “bragging.” I also enjoy helping international professionals bridge language gaps by aligning their resumes with U.S. standards.
All that said: You are NOT alone! It's easy to feel lost when it comes to self-promotion. Crafting content that represents you in the best light, especially for a resume or LinkedIn profile, can feel like a confusing and frustrating process. I hear you. Message me!
WHY I STAND OUT
I stand out as a top-rated career strategist and resume writer on Upwork because my expertise in both SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and the ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) allows me to craft documents that are not only visually appealing but also highly searchable and keyword-optimized for today's competitive, digital landscape.
𝐎𝐡, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠: I believe in the power of persistence, and as Thomas Edison wisely said: “Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.”
Let’s work together to create career documents that give you the visibility, confidence, and results you deserve.
