Introduction: Hi! I'm Katie! I've been helping others with resume writing for more than seven years. I'm passionate about finding the best qualities in a person and making sure those qualities jump from the page of your resume to the employer its in front of. I will incorporate keywords and tactics to get past automatic screeners and get a human reviewing your experiences. For resumes that only need updated or revised, please send a Word document for ease of editing. Additional charges may apply for PDF editing. *NEW* CONSULTING SPECIAL: Don't want to pay for someone to write your whole resume, cover letter or even LinkedIn profile? Have a first draft done and just want a professional to polish and make suggestions? For $150, I will review first drafts of up to all three and turn around updated documents and LinkedIn suggestions in 24 hours. Need traditional resume writing? MY FOUR-STEP PROCESS: 1. After selecting my services, we will connect by phone call (preferred). 2. We will have a ~30-minute phone conversation (could be less, depending on information needed) so I can gather your experience, achievements and dig for any golden nuggets we should be including on your resume. 3. After we connect, I'll turn around a new-and-improved version of your resume in a Microsoft Word file and PDF for your use. 4. After that, you are welcome to do any add-on services with me such as cover-letter writing or interview prep.

I am so glad I found Katie! Not only is her work top notch, but she is incredibly personable and encouraging. I feel so much more confident in my job search after working with her, and thankful to have made such a great connection. I hired her to review my resume (after hiring elsewhere and not being happy with the outcome) as well as helping me with content/tips for my Linked profile. She got everything back to me same day, which blew me away! All of the content and comments she made were incredibly helpful, and made me feel really encouraged in my job searching journey. She is worth every penny. I wish I had worked with her from the beginning! Thank you again Katie!
