Be Inspired. It's your career. It's your life. My passion is working with clients to achieve their career dreams—delivering solutions, not simply services! As a Master Resume Writer, Credentialed Career Manager, and Certified Professional Resume Writer, I work one-on-one with clients coast-to-coast to create strategic resumes and career documents that advance their candidacies—and garner attention in the right way. I specialize in working with C-suite executives and rising professionals in all fields—as well as their college-graduating kids. As a career expert on NBC, I speak frequently at libraries, universities, and conferences nationwide and am quoted in the media (from the Times to USA Today). I'm also the CMO coach working with sales and marketing execs through C-Suite Career Catalysts. I earned my master’s degree from Wesleyan University and hold two undergrad degrees (Univ. of Maryland and Bay Path Univ.).My latest executive book and podcast, co-authored with Louise Kursmark is Modernize Your Executive Job Search (published by Emerald Publishing). My newest book with Louise is Resume & LinkedIn Strategies for New College Graduates ("What Works to Launch a Gen-Z Career"). Nine additional books have been published (Globe Pequot, JIST, Amazon), including Executive’s Pocket Guide to ROI Resumes and Job Search, One-Hour College Application Essay, Telling Tales: On Merlin's Island, and Adventures in the Wooded Glen. Making a difference in higher education is a complementary passion—one I've pursued for the last decade as a Visiting Instructor and Professor in English and business programs at the University of South Florida and at Bay Path University. I'm now co-chairing USF's Carnegie Community Engagement Classification committee as Assistant Program Director.LET'S COLLABORATEI'd love to help you—let's develop a plan to put those career dreams into action!
