    A PROFESSIONAL PORTFOLIO provides detailed examples of your expertise. If you:

      - want to set yourself apart from other job candidates,

      - can't decide what to put in and what to leave,

      - are not certain of the best format to use to present YOUR information,

      - don't know how to organize the material to highlight your strengths,

YOU MAY NEED THE HELP OF A PROFESSIONAL...

    I have prepared over 1,000 résumés--and they get results.

    My premise is, I can do you a pretty résumé, but, if I haven't helped you discover what you really want to do, and put together a résumé to get you going that direction, I haven't done you any favors.

    I also know that it is important to set your résumé apart from those of your competition, so hiring managers know exactly the skills you bring to the table, and why you are the best person for the job.

    This is the difference between the résumés I prepare, and what you put together yourself--or even what other "professionals" prepare. I'm not in the business of pushing you out the door as fast as possible...I'm looking to team with you. Ninety percent of my clients are repeat customers who come back to me each time they want to make a career move, or word-of-mouth referrals. I have prepared résumés for both national and international clients. No yellow page ads. It's a nice way to do business.

    Résumé intake is done by telephone, and I schedule appointments at your convenience. This usually takes about two hours. Along the way, we'll explore your job options and directions, and develop your job search strategy. After that, I work for several more hours on your résumé and e-mail the first draft to you. Then, we work back and forth until you are satisfied with the résumé.

    Preparation costs for a résumé, a cover letter, and a LinkedIn summary are usually tax deductible if you are unemployed. Talk with your tax advisor about the details.
