As a resume writer/executive career advisor, I have a single goal for each client: Telling a career story that is memorable, meaningful, relevant, succinct, and interesting. Today, that means:► Writing for today’s readers—shorter, tighter, harder-hitting copy that conveys critical information quickly.► Creating a LinkedIn profile that is not an exact copy of the resume but tailored in format, tone, length, and structure to fit this social medium.If you’re an executive with 20+ years of experience, it can be challenging to create succinct career-marketing documents that capture your personality, achievements, and unique value. That’s exactly the kind of challenge I love! ► GET IN TOUCH if I can help: 774-404-7829, louise@louisekursmark.com When I began working as a resume writer, it was purely by accident, as people sought me out to help with their important career documents. I didn’t even know the profession existed, yet it is a perfect fit for my talents, interests, and the way I love to work—intense, one-on-one, highly interactive client sessions balanced with introspective writing time. My work has introduced me to exceptional people (clients and colleagues), taken me to remarkable places, and given me exciting opportunities to speak and publish—goals that I once feared were out of reach. On a personal level as well, I've seen the power of setting clear, achievable, yet ambitious goals—and the thrill of reaching them. In the last few years I set my sights on a few mountaintops. I learned to swim, completed 3 triathlons, and had a personal essay published in the Boston Globe. Most recently, I cycled an 82-mile single-day ride as part of the Pan-Mass Challenge, raising funds to support the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Tough to do? Yes. But absolutely worthwhile. Finishing put me on top of the world!I get a similar endorphin rush from helping clients achieve THEIR goals. I give them the tools, resources, and confidence they need to climb to new career peaks. In addition to operating my private practice, I am a prolific writer (author or co-author of 20+ books, including the recent MODERNIZE YOUR CAREER series) and a high-energy presenter to jobseekers and career colleagues. Whether writing or speaking, my strength is breaking down complex career-related information into easily digestible "bites" that are immediately useful.Resume writing and career management will continue to evolve … but one constant is the need to tell your story so others understand your value. That’s my expertise and what I love to do.
