Meet your Toronto resume writers
Two certified writers — and the one you meet is the one who writes.
Tami Cooper
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.
Adam Winfield
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.
What makes us different
Every service says "1-on-1" and "ATS-optimized." Here's what they can't say.
Meet your writer before you pay
Most resume services charge $300–$650 before you learn your writer's name. Here it's backwards: you book a free chat with Tami, she reviews your current resume honestly, and if we're not the right fit you'll know in 20 minutes — at no cost.
"Tami has a very professional and welcoming approach and most of all was compassionate… I was feeling so overwhelmed with the whole process, but once I had my newly updated resume, everything fell into place."
Two writers. You know them by name.
At most services you're matched with an unnamed writer after you pay — no photo, no bio, no way to request anyone. Here there are exactly two: Tami Cooper, CRS, an ex-recruiter, and Adam Winfield, CMRW/CERM. Their faces, third-party certifications and media features are on this page — and the writer you choose is the writer you get.
"Adam is extremely skilled and efficient. He was able to easily understand my career objectives and translate it into a strong, sharp, results-oriented resume."
Craft counts. Volume doesn't.
The big services count clients in the hundred thousands and run them through a portal. Your resume here is hand-crafted after one deep conversation — Tami takes a handful of clients a week, and Adam caps at eight per month so every file gets his full attention.
Written by humans, built for the machines: every document is engineered to pass the ATS filters and AI screening employers now run before a person ever reads your file.
A resume is paper. You're the pitch.
This is a 20-year coaching practice, not a document shop — so the conversation that builds your resume also rebuilds how you talk about yourself. You walk into interviews already owning your story, and if you want backup, the same ex-recruiter who wrote your resume coaches your interviews.
And it doesn't end at delivery: your writer becomes part of your network — a sounding board for the next move, the next negotiation, the next chapter.

Not industry name-dropping — the judgment calls that change outcomes here.
If you're applying to a bank, look the part
Bay Street likes things a certain way: clean and conservative, credentials spelled out, the big numbers near the top. The same resume that charms a startup can quietly sink you in a bank tower. We write for the room you're actually walking into.
"I applied to 12 jobs in a month and landed 2 job offers — a top multinational, a completely new field, and a higher level."
Say what you actually ran
A "Manager" at a 40-person company and a "Manager" at TD are doing very different jobs — and recruiters here know it. So we spell it out: how many people, how much budget, what was at stake. Your seniority should be obvious on the first read, not discovered in the third interview.
International experience just needs translating
More internationally trained professionals land in Toronto than anywhere else in Canada. If that's you, the problem was never your ability — it's translation. We turn overseas titles and employers into language local hiring managers instantly get, without shrinking a thing.
"Tami helped me upon my arrival to Canada as a foreign trained professional… resulting in a successful career reintegration in Canada."

"Within two weeks of completing my package with Tami, I've landed two interviews. 5 Stars!"
Tami went above and beyond my expectations. She was very friendly and professional. She actively listened to the information I provided in our one-on-one, and sought to understand what I needed.
"Since employing the use of my new resume from Adam, I have observed a significant increase in interview calls. In just two weeks, I've received nine interview invitations."
Working with Adam was great. He explains his methodology for crafting result-oriented resumes in an articulate and comprehensive manner — a stark contrast to the two calls I received over two months with my previous resume. The remarkable outcomes speak for themselves.
"It's one thing to know what you're bringing to the table when applying to your dream job, but it's a whole other thing to be able to communicate that value to the employer."
Whether you're just starting out, an internationally-trained professional, 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. What are you waiting for? Get in her calendar already!
"I had an amazing experience working with Tami Cooper at Careers by Design."
I thought I had a great resume but was not getting any traction in the market. After working with Tami, I started receiving many more calls from recruiters and employers and was ultimately successful in landing my next position. I was so impressed with the amount of information she collects in a short interview and how she describes it so effectively.
"It captures my sentiments perfectly and is written in language I would actually use."
Hi Tami, I am more than impressed with the resume and the cover letter. Thanks again, Tami.
"She was AMAZING! The quality of her writing, the depth of her knowledge and her professionalism were outstanding."
I worked with Tami Cooper on my resume and LinkedIn content — and I don't often give high praise.
