Introduction: I've been guiding clients through the resume/cover letter/interview process for over 8 years, and have 300+ resumes under my belt. I believe in not just writing a resume, but in helping you build a career narrative: a robust resume, a cover letter to provide context and interest to your history, plus identifying high points and anecdotes for the interview. I work regularly with many non-native speakers of English from all over the world, people who often speak it well but struggle a bit with writing in English. Check out my podcast, Don’t Fear the Career, providing resume and career narrative advice to young professionals. It’s available on most podcast platforms.

Molly is hands down the only person I trust to help me with my resumes/ CVs. Molly has a unique approach that isn't just your standard cutting and pasting. Molly takes your experiences and creates a landscape of what you've done. Molly emphasizes the "narrative" style. Schools and hiring managers only know what you tell them, and Molly helps you look like a rock star. She helps you tell your story, clearly and uniquely! With an amazing grasp on the English language, Molly helps you "write big" and size down to something that is a beautiful document. From verbage, style, spacing and even fonts Molly has your back. And she can meet you where you are in this process. Never made a resume? No problem. Need a refresher? She's your girl. Not getting hired? Maybe you're not representing your hard work in a way that is appealing or accurate. Molly helps you cut through all the competition and helps you get noticed. This woman does it all- from cover letters, letters of intent, CVs, resumes, grants, to essays. Not only is she good at what she does, she actually enjoys it. She's professional, prompt and passionate about helping her clients achieve their goals. Give her a chance to make you shine. You won't regret it.

Resume crafter! Molly has been helping me so much with fixing, and shall I say, giving it a complete makeover. She has given me so much support and tips on how to create the best resume. Not only does she help you, she will teach you how to make it yourself. By the end of your meeting, you can feel confident about applying to the best place, and also she will help you feel confident about yourself. Did I mention she’ll entertain you as you’re working on it, too? Thank you so much Molly.

I really enjoyed working with Molly on my resume. She keeps up-to-date with the format and what employers are looking for in a resume. She was thorough with her review and made great comments to improve my resume.

Hi Jenn -- Your resume was the good kind of challenge: so much excellent material to work with, it was all about the best way to present it. Thanks for the review!

Molly helped me transform a very bad resume and cover letter into a good quality resume that I was no longer ashamed of showing to other professionals. She was very attentive to detail and followed up with constructive criticism and feedback. She was awesome!

Don’t Fear the Career's reply

Aww c'mon now -- it wasn't that bad! But I know that between the two of us we got it where it needed to be. If you ever need a re-vamp you know where to find me.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I'm new to Thumbtack, and though I have an hourly fee for dissertation editing, I'm still working out the pricing for resumes. I suppose it depends on how involved the client wants to be in the process.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Usually I like the client to send me their document in Word a day or so before we talk so I can review it and come up with a list of questions. Then I send the marked document to the client and we look it over together.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've been doing this work for over 8 years, and I'm guided by the best practices in the industry. I've worked on literally hundreds of resumes for people with lots of work experience, very little, and somewhere in-between.
