Resume writing and the administrative underpinnings of executive search have been my career focus in recent years. Managing my own storefront business near the University of Arkansas allowed me to help a wide range of people by producing client manuscripts and correspondence, transcribing interviews, and writing and editing professional resumes. Resumes were the most engaging part of the business as writing resumes is about understanding the paths people have chosen in their career and helping them tell their story. Early on I added the Certified Professional Resume Writer (CPRW) credential and attended professional resume writing conferences to learn from industry leaders. Meanwhile, an adjunct role teaching basic writing at the college level let me guide students in the fundamentals of grammar, punctuation, and composition.In 2004 I closed my shop to join Cameron Smith & Associates, experts in recruiting for the suppliers to Walmart. Our clients and candidates are drawn from leading consumer products companies and retail marketing services providers. My special projects include managing the resume service, helping launch CSA Outplacement & Career Coaching, coordinating our temporary staffing division, participating in the website redesign and applicant tracking system (ATS) selection, and earning PHR certification. I also have delivered presentations on resume writing for college students, civic groups, and job fairs.
