My focus is on executive resume writing. I help individuals build and fine tune their professional story to find their next great job.What sets me apart from other resume writers? #1) I am a business person who writes. I am able to look at a resume from a businesses person's perspective. #2) I am a professional coach. I naturally ask a lot of open ended questions and am curious about the answers I get. This leads to a deeper understanding of what individuals have accomplished and wish to do next.
