Resumé Writing

Capturing your unique strengths and skills

Whether you’re highly experienced, looking for your first job or somewhere in between, Julie Jansen will write your resumé and LinkedIn profile so you are found by hiring managers and recruiters who want to interview you.

In today’s intensely competitive work environment, it’s tough to get noticed. Applying for jobs online is cold and impersonal. Before you ever see a face or hear a voice, you’re viewing company websites, job boards like Indeed, CareerBuilder, Simply Hired and dozens of others, or pursuing jobs posted by recruiters on LinkedIn. It’s time consuming and frustrating. You may hear back, but you often don’t, and it can take months before anything happens at all. What can you do to improve your odds of being noticed?

It all starts with having a strong, effective resumé, an equally strong profile on LinkedIn, and a creative outreach strategy for selling yourself so you stand out from the crowd.

After discussing your needs by phone and having you complete a comprehensive questionnaire, Julie provides ideas and strategic thinking – based on her knowledge of the job market, companies and industries – to help you sell yourself effectively and appeal to potential employers.

Julie suggests changes and rewrites your resumé to make it targeted, contemporary and professional. She also works with you to sharpen your LinkedIn profile to include key words and competencies that employers and recruiters are looking for. Additionally, she will draft or edit your cover letters and networking emails.
