Summary

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT: Do you want your resume prepared by someone who makes most of their money by merely writing resumes, OR by someone like me who makes most of their money by writing resumes that result in people getting hired?

My "day job" for 22 years and counting is as a top-performing professional recruiter and search/placement firm owner. In that business, I don't get paid one cent unless I successfully place my candidates into a new job. Creating a resume that showcases their potential to the max is a key part of the "secret sauce" in the recipe for succeeding in my business.

I'm also a very detail oriented proofreader/editor, with excellent grasp of the English language, and I can help you proof and improve your copy, even if it's not specifically a resume.

I have over 20 years experience in the search and placement business, and have placed candidates ranging from entry level to executive office. I've seen all kinds of resumes, and I have first hand experience of which ones help, and which ones hurt, a candidate's chances.
