Kickass Resumes

When you're looking for a new job, a kickass resume is essential, especially in today's crappy economy. With dozens of qualified applicants vying for the same position, you must stand out from the herd. The secret to landing an interview is enticing prospective employers into reading your whole resume, not just the first few lines.

A kickass resume doesn't need fancy fonts and bold print to catch an employer's eye. It doesn't rely on business cliches, industry jargon or out-dated keywords. A kickass resume especially doesn't plug your information into a boring template. Your resume should be as unique and personal as you.

I use simple, industry-appropriate formatting and direct language to lure employers in. With just a quick scan, they'll be able to identify your areas of expertise, and they'll want to read more. When they read about your experience and accomplishments, your resume will move to the top of the pile and stay there.

Whether you're a company executive or a recent college graduate, I'll make you look like a superstar. If you're changing careers, it's no problem: I specialize in translating marketable skills from one industry to another. I offer the following services:

  • Word and/or PDF versions of your resume
  • Cover letters
  • Thank-you notes
  • Curriculum vitae (c.v.)
  • Individual biographies

If I've piqued your interest, send me your current resume for a quote.
