About

As a former corporate recruiter and senior manager of human resources, I've seen a large number of great people get turned down for jobs because of poorly constructed resumes. Sometimes it was for small reasons like spelling and grammatical errors and other times it was for bigger reasons like fabricating information. 

 

I founded Written Resume because I wanted to help job seekers better understand the job application process from an insider's perspective and help get their credentials noticed. I provide resume writing services to individuals of all organizational levels, including new graduates preparing to enter the workforce for the first time, parents looking to re-enter the workforce after some time away, and currently employed individuals looking to advance in their company or move into a role elsewhere.

 

I have experience in corporate recruiting and human resources management for both small start-ups and big-name organizations, and I hold a Masters Degree in Human Resources from Loyola University Chicago. I know what employers are looking for in your resume and what applicant tracking systems are searching for in resume applications. Having been a corporate recruiter and senior HR manager is what separates me from a typical resume writing service and provides you with my inside expertise.

 

I provide resume writing with expertise from the world of corporate recruiting. I tailor your resume to appeal to the type of company you want to work for and I bring a valuable understanding of what hiring managers are looking for in applicants.

 

With both recruitment and human resources management in my background, I am able to successfully provide interview preparation and coaching to help you prepare for your next big opportunity. Have you been turned down for a job when your resume was a great fit? I'm able to coach you on the soft skills that are as important as your industry knowledge so that you are fully ready for your next interview.

 

I want you to get the job you want. On average, recruiters spend 6 seconds reviewing an applicant's resume. Read that again...6 SECONDS! It seems unfair, but the average recruiter is typically receiving hundreds to thousands of resumes for a given position, and you have just a few seconds to make a favorable, first impression with your resume.

 

With my industry expertise, I am able to write your resume so that it receives the attention it deserves. Additionally, I am available to write a cover letter and your LinkedIn profile for you and prepare and coach you for any upcoming interviews.
