Meet your Vancouver 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 services take $300–$650 off you before you learn your writer's name. We flipped it: a free chat first, an honest review of your current resume, and if we're not the right fit you'll know inside 20 minutes — for nothing.
"I thought my resume wasn't bad and possibly even a little outdated… I was right. I now have a top-notch professional resume that is modern and sophisticated."
Two writers. You know them by name.
Elsewhere you're matched with a writer you can't name — after you pay. Here both writers are on the page before you spend anything: Tami Cooper, CRS, an ex-recruiter, and Adam Winfield, CMRW/CERM — faces, third-party certifications, and a Vancouver Sun feature you can read. Whoever you pick is who writes.
"A great writer, clear thinker and insightful branding specialist… truth, well told!"
Craft counts. Volume doesn't.
The volume shops count clients in the hundred thousands and run them through a portal. Here your file is hand-crafted after one deep conversation — Tami keeps her week small, and Adam takes eight clients a month so nothing gets rushed.
Human-written, machine-ready: every document is engineered to clear the ATS filters and AI screening BC employers now run before a person reads a word.
A resume is paper. You're the pitch.
This is a 20-year coaching practice, not a document shop. The conversation that builds your resume also rebuilds how you talk about yourself — and if you want backup, the same ex-recruiter who wrote it coaches your interviews.
Delivery isn't the end, either: your writer stays in your corner — a sounding board for the next move, the next negotiation, the next chapter.
"After reading the cover letter, then the resume, I hired myself! WOW, you're amazing!"

Not industry name-dropping — the judgment calls that change outcomes here.
Tech and film hire on credits, not titles
Half this market works project to project — games, VFX, startups, productions. A plain chronology undersells you. We structure contract careers like a credit list: what shipped, what you owned, what it did — so a studio or staffing lead sees a track record, not job-hopping.
Resource HQs read for scope and safety
Vancouver towers run mines, mills and pipelines across the province. Their recruiters scan for scope — sites, headcount, capital — and the safety and compliance record behind it. We put your certifications and numbers where they get found on the first pass, not the third page.
International experience needs a local accent
Vancouver is a gateway city — internationally trained professionals compete here from day one. Overseas titles, employers and credentials rarely map one-to-one, so we translate them into terms BC hiring managers immediately trust, without shrinking what you achieved.
What one conversation does to a bullet point
The shift every line of your resume goes through — duties out, evidence in.
Composite examples — real client details stay confidential.

Results, in their words

"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."
Working with Adam was great. He explains his methodology for crafting result-oriented resumes in an articulate and comprehensive manner. The remarkable outcomes speak for themselves.
"She has set the standard — I recommend her to all my colleagues."
I am an executive in transition and had lost touch with resume writing and LinkedIn presence. After an intake call, Tami very quickly turned around a draft for review. The quality of her work, and the way she captured and conveyed the best parts of my experience, was amazing.
"Adam easily understood my career objectives and translated them into a strong, sharp, results-oriented resume."
My experience with Careers by Design was enjoyable! I also took advantage of the executive one-pager — a great single-sheet visual format that summarizes my significant accomplishments and top skills. Overall a great experience, highly recommend!
"Tami’s advice gave me a strong advantage as I applied and interviewed for an exciting leadership role."
She was a trusted partner who helped me really think through what I could bring to a new organization and how to communicate that to employers. Her knowledge of the job market is exceptional and she genuinely cares about her clients’ success.
"I absolutely felt confident sending out my resume — and it worked!"
The process of detailing my work experience and Tami’s wordsmithing elevated my resume. It reflected a sophisticated and capable individual, which is challenging to project when writing about oneself — polished, and written with the most current terms AI would use to review it.
"Tami has been an absolute game-changer in the current competitive labour market."
I cannot thank her enough for her invaluable guidance and support. Her professionalism, expertise, and genuine commitment to helping me succeed were complemented by an approach tailor-made to my next career goal.
