Why do some resumes fail? Because the writer isn't writing for the target audience. One of the reasons why it's difficult to write your own resume is because you're reading/writing from your perspective, not that of the the recruiter, interviewer, or hiring manager.

With 20+ years experience recruiting for Fortune 500s, Inc 500s, private equity, and startups — in both internal recruiting and agency/headhunter roles — I understand the audience. I've seen what works and what doesn't (BTW, it's not always what you'd expect — because one size/approach does not fit all).

I know the questions to ask to determine what's important to include, exclude, downplay, emphasize, and how & where to put it all on your resume and LinkedIn profile so that you stand out.

I specialize in:

• Executive/C-level resume, board doc/cv, and related documents
• Writing & formatting for ATS systems and LinkedIn
• Strategic goal-focused coaching/consulting (communication/messaging, transitions, interviewing, negotiating, etc.)
• DEI/diversity executive coaching and recruiting

For most executives, it's unlikely you will find your next role posted online. I help develop actionable short/long-term strategies to elevate your personal brand, leverage LinkedIn, access the hidden job market, and scale your leadership career!
