Calgary hires on results — barrels, budgets, basis points. One real conversation turns your record into the case that gets you the interview.
"After reading the cover letter, then the resume, I hired myself! WOW, you're amazing!"
Two certified writers — and the one you meet is the one who writes.
An ex-recruiter who read hundreds of applications a week and decided who got the call — now she writes for that six-second first read. Featured in Canadian Business.
The higher you climb, the harder it is to talk about yourself — Adam turns 25-year careers into a story a board can act on. Before resumes, he put CEOs in front of the FT, BBC and Bloomberg — now 3,000+ executives later, he takes eight private clients a month.
Every service says "1-on-1" and "ATS-optimized." Here's what they can't say.
The typical service invoices you $300–$650 before introductions. We start with a free chat and an honest review of your current resume — if we're not the right fit, you find out in 20 minutes and it costs you nothing.
"I absolutely felt confident sending out my resume — and it worked!"
Big services assign you a writer after the invoice — no name, no bio, no choice. We publish ours: Tami Cooper, CRS, ex-recruiter; Adam Winfield, CMRW/CERM. Check their certifications, pick your writer, and that's exactly who does the work.
"In just two weeks, I've received nine interview invitations — a stark contrast to the two I received over two months with my previous resume."
Assembly-line services push six figures of clients through a portal. Here it's one deep conversation and a hand-built file — Tami keeps her caseload deliberately small, and Adam takes eight clients a month, full stop.
Human-written, machine-ready: every document is engineered to clear the ATS filters and AI screening Calgary employers now run before a person reads a word.
Because this grew out of a 20-year coaching practice, the deliverable isn't just paper. The conversation rebuilds how you pitch yourself — and when the interviews land, the ex-recruiter who wrote your file coaches you through them.
The relationship outlasts the invoice, too: next cycle, next negotiation, next chapter — your writer already knows your story.
"Within two weeks of completing my package, I've landed two interviews. 5 Stars!"

Almost every senior Calgary resume carries a downturn somewhere — a layoff, a gap, a sideways year. Handled badly, it reads like a red flag; handled well, it reads like the market event it was. We frame cycle scars matter-of-factly and put the recovery story on top.
This is a city of head offices, and their recruiters scan for the size of what you ran: capital, production, headcount, P&L. "Responsible for operations" says nothing; the numbers say everything. We pull your scope forward so seniority is obvious on the first pass.
O&G to cleantech, energy to tech, field to office — half of Calgary is mid-pivot. A pivot resume that just lists old jobs makes the reader do the translation, and they won't. We write the bridge explicitly: which skills carry, what they're worth in the new room.
The shift every line of your resume goes through — duties out, evidence in.
Composite examples — real client details stay confidential.
New graduates and early-career professionals building a first resume that opens doors.
Mid-career professionals targeting manager and senior individual-contributor roles.
Established professionals targeting senior manager, director and senior technical roles.
VP, SVP and C-suite candidates — private, board-level positioning with Adam.
300+ five-star reviews from clients across Canada — read them all.
“She has set the standard — I recommend her to all my colleagues.”
An executive in transition, I had lost touch with resume writing and my LinkedIn presence. After one intake call Tami turned around a draft fast — the way she captured the best parts of my experience was amazing.
“Tami’s advice gave me a strong advantage for an exciting leadership role.”
She was a trusted partner who helped me think through what I could bring to a new organization. Her knowledge of the job market is exceptional and she genuinely cares about her clients’ success.
“Knowing your value is one thing — communicating it to an employer is another.”
Whether you’re just starting out or a seasoned executive ready for the C-suite, Tami brings decades of experience and an up-to-the-minute understanding of the job market. Get in her calendar already!
“Adam translated my objectives into a strong, sharp, results-oriented resume.”
My experience with Careers by Design was enjoyable from start to finish. I also added the executive one-pager — a great single-sheet format that summarizes accomplishments at a glance. Highly recommend!
“Tami has been an absolute game-changer in a competitive market.”
I cannot thank her enough for her guidance and support. Her professionalism and expertise were complemented by an approach tailor-made to my next career goal.
“After working with Tami, I started receiving many more calls — and landed my next position.”
I thought I had a great resume but was not getting any traction. I started receiving many more calls from recruiters and employers. I was impressed with how much information she draws out in one short conversation.
