About Me:: We aren’t a big automated shop that grinds out 1000s of resumes a day. We are a group of professional writers who are focused on one thing, helping you to get that first interview.

We keep our costs low. We don’t use a lot of fancy software to copy and paste what you tell us into a slick template. We talk to you and more importantly we listen! We look for ways to clearly communicate the value that you add to your organization. We specialize in bringing out the details and framing them in a way that makes potential employers take notice.

Our writers are experienced. We don’t hire anyone right out of college to write resumes. Each of our writers are not only great communicators, but have experience working in the real world. We’ve been there. We know what employers are looking for.

We are flexible and focus on getting it right the first time. And if it’s not right, we’ll do it again. The idea is to get your skills and experiences packaged to make recruiters and employers say “Wow.” Then it’s up to you!

This One Time.... at Resume Camp....

A tip to resume writers and job hunters.....

If you're going to embellish your resume.... check your facts!!!!

Sometimes less is more....

I review a lot of resumes. A LOT of resumes. One thing that strikes me more often than not is "Less is more." Honestly by the end of page two on your resume, I've lost interest.

Yes, it is important to show that you are well rounded but after 15 years in th… Continue

Your online persona....

Is there such a thing as too connected? I read an interesting article in the SF Chronicle the other day extolling the virtues of a more conservative online persona...
