From Toronto to Vancouver, Calgary to Halifax, employers screen the same way. 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 — Tami writes across every career level, Adam works with executives and senior leaders only. 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 Canadian 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!"

Employers across Canada run keyword filters and, increasingly, AI screening before a human reads a word. We build machine-parseable structure and matched keywords so you clear the gate — then quantified achievements so a person keeps reading.
Whether it's a Bay Street bank, a Vancouver scale-up or a Calgary energy HQ, seniority is judged on numbers: budget, headcount, P&L, results. "Responsible for operations" says nothing; the numbers say everything. We pull your scope forward so your level is obvious on the first pass.
Applying for a role in another province or a remote-first employer changes what to foreground. We position you for the market you're actually targeting — local, national, or fully remote — so the resume speaks to the reader on the other end.
The shift every line of your resume goes through — duties out, evidence in.

“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.
“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!
“She helped me restructure my resume — and I landed an amazing job.”
Amazing experience. I had no idea my resume was oversaturated with unnecessary information. She helped me identify what to keep, restructure what mattered, and position me for the role I wanted. The result spoke for itself.
“I now have a top-notch professional resume that is modern and sophisticated.”
I thought my resume wasn’t bad and possibly even a little outdated… I was right. Tami not only gave me an incredible resume but also finished it in a matter of days after our initial meeting.
“Her work is magic. She restored my confidence in my entire job seeking experience.”
Tami is truly amazing and goes above and beyond to help you with your resume and LinkedIn. She has helped me out tremendously — such an expert in her field, giving you the upmost level of service. If anyone is looking for a perfect and excellent resume, Tami is the person to go to.
“In just two weeks, nine interview invitations.”
Working with Adam was great. He explains his methodology for crafting result-oriented resumes in an articulate, comprehensive way — a stark contrast to the two calls I got over two months with my previous resume. The remarkable outcomes speak for themselves.
