Why Choose Careers by Design For Executive Resume Writing?
I Know How to Market You
No matter how successful you’ve been in your career and what YOU know you can do for your ideal employer, they won't pay attention unless you first prove it on paper in an impactful, engaging way.
Think about it - if products were marketed by their creators, the coders would be marketing Apple. Imagine how that would go, compared to their success from leaving the "sales side" to the professionals.
It's no different with an executive resume – it needs to be crafted by a highly trained writer!
Personalized & Passionate
I'll seamlessly guide you through the process and leave you with a newfound sense of confidence about what you can offer to future employers and all the great things you've already accomplished.
Ultimately, hiring an executive resume writer is not just about getting a job, any job. I want you to feel empowered that you can secure a role you truly enjoy and find fulfilment in.
Working with me is not just about getting a new resume – it’s about rejecting mediocrity, standing out, and moving forward.
Unique Background in PR & Journalism
I genuinely enjoy learning about the work leaders do and helping them to understand their most sellable strengths, experiences and achievements. It’s what gets me jumping out of bed with energy each day.
I combine the literary flair of a restless creative and trained journalist with the business knowledge of a seasoned professional to produce executive resumes that give my clients an undeniable edge.

EXECUTIVE ONE PAGER & NETWORKING BOOSTER
Success Snapshot
Detailed resumes that showcase all of your career achievements are a great way to help you stand out from the crowd, but busy recruiters don’t always have time to pick through your entire work history.
Our executive one pagers present you in a striking visual format that captures your most important leadership attributes and accomplishments in a way that hiring managers can quickly skim and digest.
We incorporate graphical elements into our one pagers alongside snappy, concise writing so that you have a powerful, attention-grabbing document to introduce yourself before sending over the full resume, or leave on the table after interviews to ensure you make a lasting impression.
Present Your Background Powerfully

Effective professional bios can be difficult to write, leaving even the most accomplished business leaders scratching their heads over where to start and what information to include.

Professional bios can serve as an excellent overview of your career history. We offer bio writing services in a number of formats, including short 200-word bios and one-page executive bios of around 500 words.

Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions? We've got answers. Browse commonly asked questions here.
Most people instinctively approach their resume with the mindset of “what did I do?” instead “what did I contribute?”
I call this the task-focused resume versus the achievements-focused resume. You need to emphasize the outcomes that have come from your actions – these are the proof points that will make you stand out.
For example, anyone can “lead a sales team,” but not everyone can “grow revenue 10x”.
Cliché as it sounds, everyone is unique, and that applies especially to executives. To rise through the ranks and become a leader in your field, you had to hone your knowledge and expertise, make significant contributions, and stand out among your peers.
Many executives I work with tell me they are “too close” to their own careers and can’t articulate their achievements or strengths until they are asked to analyze them in a different way. By the end of our time working together, you will feel like a rockstar!
Of course. Book a Free Phone Chat and I’d be happy to give you some feedback on how your resume could be improved. Many people believe their resume is “good enough” before I give it my constructive critique.
Some resumes I review are better than others, but there’s almost always plenty of room for improvement – especially if you’re serious about advancing in your career and boosting your pay.
One of the biggest mistakes executives make is casting the net too wide. The most effective resumes are positioned for specific titles, industries, company sizes, and skills.
It’s true that some executives, especially those in multi-faceted jobs at small companies, can fit into many roles, but you must to ensure your resume is targeted enough to catch the hiring manager’s attention.
Let’s say you want one resume aimed at becoming a CFO and one to get hired as a COO. You’ve worked successfully in both functions and want to see where you can attract the best opportunities.
My approach in these situations is to learn about your experience, achievements, and strengths and then determine what makes the most sense.
Do we create a “hybrid” resume targeting a dual role in a small company? Do we realize your heart is actually set on operations and you are holding onto finance as an undesirable backup? Or does it really make sense to equip you with two resumes? We’ll find the answer.
I’ve worked with 3,000+ executives on their resumes – more than enough for me to have seen pretty much everything there is to see. It’s very rare these days I come across a client whose industry I’m not familiar with, and I have a unique ability to understand highly technical fields.
Many people believe the dreaded ATS is “blocking” or “filtering out” all of their applications, not realizing it’s much more likely the resume itself is just not enticing hiring managers. The truth about ATS software – which is used and configured by some HR teams to save time by stopping irrelevant applications from reaching the recruiters’ inbox – is that we really don’t know the truth. Some companies use ATS, some don’t, and there’s no way to be sure which keywords a company has selected.
The best way to ensure your resume is not filtered out by ATS is to keep the formatting simple and match keywords with the qualifications or skills section in your ideal job postings. Don’t obsess over hitting every keyword, because that approach invariably causes the readability of the resume to suffer.
Wait times for booking our initial 60-minute meeting vary from the next day after signing up to 3 weeks in advance.
Some times of year are busier than others in the world of professional resume writing. Once we’ve had our consultation call, I will have the first drafts to you within 2-3 business days.
On exceedingly rare occasions an executive will find that they’re still not getting interviews with their new resume. There are many reasons this could happen that don’t have to do with the resume.
That’s why instead of “giving up” and refunding your fee, I pledge to work with you on refining job search strategies and/or tweaking the resume until it sticks. Sometimes it takes a bit of trial and error.
LinkedIn is the place to be to grow your network and establish an online presence as an executive and industry influencer. The platform is a hub to create business opportunities, build your brand, make yourself searchable from Google, and find the best and freshest job ads. It’s where your peers hang out and where recruiters are most likely to lay eyes on you first.
If your LinkedIn profile fails to provide a compelling overview of your value proposition and career story, you’re going to have a hard time.
Turnaround time for all resume packages is 3 business days from the time of consultation. This is faster than the average turnaround time for the industry. However, if you have a pressing job application deadline, please book a phone chat and ask us about our Rush service.
No one knows your career better than you. The consultation process is thorough, but ultimately, resume writing is a collaborative process. Minor revisions are usually required, and these changes are included in all our resume writing packages.
We'll support you for up to 30 days from the delivery of the package. We want to be sure you’re completely satisfied and confident with how your resume markets you.
