Resume Writing that Gets Responses

Personalized Resumes for Professionals and Executives

Recent studies show hiring managers spend 6-7 seconds reading your resume.

Writing a resume that stands out and gets noticed can be a challenge. It requires the right blend of professional writing, personalized marketing, and understanding of how applicant tracking systems work.

A good resume should be tailored to the job you are applying for and demonstrate why you are the ideal candidate for the position. It should also be well-written, concise, and easy to read. To make sure your resume stands out from the competition, it is important to use professional language, highlight your accomplishments, and showcase your skills and experience in an effective way.

By using effective resume writing techniques, you can ensure that your resume will get noticed by recruiters and hiring managers. With a well-crafted resume that highlights your strengths and qualifications, you can make sure that you stand out from other applicants in the job market.

While there is no guarantee, Forbes notes that resumes written professionally are 40% more likely to get noticed by hiring managers than those not written professionally.

By hiring a professional resume writer, you not only gain a strong resume, but you develop a roadmap or “cheat sheet” to clearly lay out your professional narrative in interviews. By outlining the most relevant accomplishments and skills in a consolidated narrative, even if you’re already an excellent speaker, you have all the tools right in front of you to nail the interview.

“When I got back Kat's revisions, one thought stuck out in my head: ‘Whose resume is this? Can't be mine. This is a resume that I would sprint over to HR with in order to get an interview with this person as quickly as possible.’”

Strong, Authentic Cover Letters

It’s true that 50% of hiring managers look for cover letters, even in an age where they have access to your resume, your online profile, and more at their fingertips. Kat offers cover letters as an add-on to resume writing services.

Cover letters’ primary function is to get the reader excited about your resume. Cover letters form an impression, are written more in a narrative style, and are the first impression you make in terms of tone, style, and professional priorities.

A good cover letter, like a resume, should be tailored to the job you are applying for and demonstrate why you are the ideal candidate for the position.

A strong, authentic cover letter is essential for any job seeker looking to stand out from the competition. Your cover letter is your chance to showcase your professional experience and personal brand in a way that resonates with the employer. It should be personalized to each job you apply for, and it should tell a compelling narrative about why you are the perfect fit for the position.

Your cover letter should be specific and include examples of how your skills and experience make you an ideal candidate for the role. It should also reflect your unique personality while conveying a professional tone. By crafting an effective cover letter, you can ensure that employers will take notice of your resume and consider you as a top contender for their open positions.

Kat will work with you one-on-one, deep-diving into your experience and values, to uncover the most compelling reasons why you are an excellent candidate for your target role. She’ll provide you with the language, content, and format for your cover letter that presents a consistent, complete professional brand.

“Being seen through your eyes helped me see things I didn't necessarily see in myself, and articulate things I didn't know how to say. What you offer is much more than a professional resume review--you offer a new way to see oneself.”
