Professional Eye-Catching Formatting
A professionally formatted resume stands out to recruiters and showcases your qualifications in the best possible light. Strategic utilization of white space, fonts, text size, and color directs the reader's attention to key information, enhancing the effectiveness and visual appeal of your resume without compromising its loadability into the ATS.
Strong Use of Keywords and Action Verbs
Utilizing strong keywords and action verbs enhances the effectiveness and impact of a resume. By incorporating keywords relevant to target jobs, I ensure a better match with posted positions in the ATS. Leveraging powerful action verbs makes accomplishments read stronger and strengthens clients' candidacies by more clearly demonstrating their abilities.
Accomplishents that Show Business Impact
As a resume writer, I showcase my clients' value to companies by tying their accomplishments to business impact. I believe that aligning achievements with company goals is essential to demonstrating their ability to drive results that matter. This approach positions them as ideal hires and emphasizes their readiness to make an immediate impact. Despite being often overlooked, these changes can be the most impactful aspect of a resume.

An IT Resume Case Study
Focused and Tailored Resume Yields Immediate Job Success!
I recently worked with John, a talented Systems Engineer who found himself unemployed. He presented me with a 20+ page resume! (It was more like notes!) We worked together to 1) reconstruct and update his long list of technical skills 2) summarize and enhance his responsibilities 3) pull out his accomplishments and showcase them with powerful statistics and language and 4) Integrate powerful keywords to illustrate strong technical knowledge 5) showcase his soft skills like leadership and problem solving. After discussion and reviewing target jobs, we focused his 'brand' on network security. John's resume became more focused on his target job with his slimmed down and focused TWO page resume. He got an interview and a 100% remote job in three short weeks!
I had an excellent experience working with Lisa. She took the time to truly understand where I was in my career and listened carefully to where I wanted to go. Her insight was incredibly valuable, she helped identify key gaps in my resume based on the roles I was targeting and offered thoughtful, strategic suggestions to strengthen my positioning. She was consistently accountable, responsible, and followed through on every commitment. Beyond resume writing, she also provided practical job search advice that added even more value to the process. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking to take the next step in their career with confidence. ~Product Development Engineer
How I Write Resumes
I translate technical achievements that showcase business impact and drive your career!
My Resume Philosophy
-
Your Know What You Are Good At - You may be great at your job, but that doesn’t always translate into being great at telling your career story on a resume. Sometimes, everyone needs a little help.
-
Personalized Approach - I use my coaching and interview skills to work one-on-one with clients, understanding their strengths and connecting their achievements to business value.
-
Building Resumes from the Ground Up - I write resumes from the ground up, starting with your skills, breaking down your responsibilities, enhancing and building out accomplishments, and finishing with a well-crafted summary section.
-
Focused Content - My approach eliminates extraneous information, focusing on highlighting what’s most valuable.
Why Choose Me to Write Your Resume?
-
Industry Experience - I’ve worked in technology for over 15 years, with direct experience in many of the roles I write for. With over 10 years as an HR Manager, I’m an experienced coach and mentor.
-
Career Coaching Expertise - As a trained career coach, I know how to ask the right questions to uncover your key strengths.
-
Personal Touch - I don’t contract out my services; I handle all the work myself to ensure quality and consistency.
-
Technical AND Business Understanding - I understand how technical responsibilities relate to a company’s mission and objectives and can tie the information together.
How Do We Get Started?
-
Interview Process - I work closely with clients, gathering information through a detailed interview process—no forms to fill out!

Personal Consultation - I personally speak with each potential client to answer questions and determine if my background and qualifications are a good fit for your project.
-
Initial Meeting - In our first discussion, we’ll talk through your career goals and experience, and plan the best way to highlight your strengths. The whole process usually takes two meetings but can extend to three.
Tying Accomplishments to Business Goals
-
Responsibilities vs. Accomplishments - I update resumes to separate job responsibilities from accomplishments.
-
Quantifying Achievements - I work with clients to enhance accomplishments, quantifying achievements and tying them to business goals.
-
Required Skills Integration - If you have a target job, I incorporate relevant keywords naturally into your responsibilities and accomplishments, demonstrating mastery of the required skills, not just listing them in a skills section.
-
Showcasing Value - This approach ensures that your resume truly shows your value!
My Design and Formatting Approach
-
ATS Compatibility - My resumes are designed to work with ATS systems, avoiding columns, text boxes, and graphics. (Workday article link)
-
Custom Design Elements - For resumes meant to be shared in person, we can add simple design elements to showcase accomplishments.
-
Effective Visuals - I use color, bolding, white space, and font size to draw the reader’s eye, ensuring these enhancements do not affect ATS compatibility.
By working together and co-creating your resume, we can clearly articulate your strengths and achievements, putting everything into words that show how great you are.
