NOT A MATCH

No pressure. I try to support everyone I speak with, whether they hire me or not.

If I believe another expert will be more suitable, I'll direct you to that resource. I don't chase gigs, I focus on partnerships where I can make a difference.

Intake

Let’s dive in.

This step gives me the information I need to create “wow”-worthy career documents—and gives you a chance to connect with your value. Some revelations surface on paper, others in conversation. That’s why I use both a detailed questionnaire and a one-on-one interview to get the full picture.

First a detailed questionnaire:

I get:

Insights that get to the heart of your brand.
Key data on your career history.
A solid foundation of information.

You get:

A reflective exercise that clients consistently describe as unexpectedly valuable.
Time to jog your memory and gather supporting details.
Space to think through your goals, achievements, and strengths.
No need for polished writing; I'll handle that. Just focus on sharing the substance.

Next, a one-on-one interview:

I get:

A feel for how you speak, so your documents sound like you.
Deeper insights and follow-up details that build on the questionnaire.
All of the puzzle pieces to build your brand and tell your story.

You get:

The chance to expand on key stories and clarify details.
The space to share preferences and ask questions.
A helpful prep session for future interviews.

Feedback

Let’s refine to perfection.

Within a week of our interview, you’ll receive your first draft. I always aim for “wow”—but if we don’t hit it right away, rest assured: we’ll get there. I don’t cap revisions. With thoughtful input and efficient feedback, most clients land on a final version within a couple of drafts.

I deliver:

A polished, on-brand document built on a clear strategy in both Word and PDF format.
The meticulous writing and formatting that I've built my reputation on.
An annotated version with insights on key decisions and considerations for your careful review.

You provide:

Candid feedback on branding, wording, accuracy, layout, and design.
Comments in whatever format works for you: email, track changes, or a screen-share call.
Consolidated, actionable feedback to move efficiently toward the final draft.
We’ll start with your resume. Once finalized, we’ll tackle any supporting documents. You’ll have the opportunity to provide feedback on each one.

Approval

Let’s wrap up.

You’ll take one last look to ensure you're fully satisfied and then give your final stamp of approval.

You will receive:

Word, PDF, and Plain Text files.
An executive resume guidebook with tips on tailoring your resume for specific opportunities.
A LinkedIn guidebook to help you upload your new content and make the most of the platform.

Command a seat at the leadership table.

Take part in shaping the future, not just reacting to it. Partner with an expert who can position you to rise through change.
