RESUME BUILDING AND EDITING

Make the most boring of written works work for you

Resumes are boring. Everything about the genre is meant to be standardized for the sake of efficient HR processes.

​

However, standardization does not need to eliminate personality – you know, the thing that is actually responsible for most hiring outcomes. While some suggest departing from standard conventions like formatting and font to help personality shine through, we find that usually does more harm than good, especially in an age of online applications and algorithms that discriminate against non-standard formats.

​

Instead, we inject personality through masterful, focused language that builds a real narrative. Our clients’ resumes do not just tell you what they have done; they tell you who they are. Banished are bullets that read like generic job listings, and in their place are active descriptions of our clients’ biggest professional wins.

​

Of course, this is all done with a client’s end goal and audience in mind. We ensure that resumes meet all the industry-standard requirements, including formatting and content expectations. We help our clients know when to stand out, and when conformity is actually a good thing.
