Resume and Cover Letter Writer

Self Employed • Lavoratore autonomo

Jan 2016 - Present • 10 yrs 8 mos

Wrote and overhauled 1,000+ resumes and cover letters for 250+ clients since 2016, tailoring each to the client's target role and the actual job posting. Optimized every resume for Applicant Tracking Systems — keywords, formatting, and structure — so it clears automated screening and reaches a real recruiter. Turned vague duty lists into achievement-focused, metric-driven bullet points that show impact instead of just listing tasks. Specialized in new grads, career-changers, and people re-entering the workforce — reframing non-linear paths into a story that reads as an obvious fit. Coached 100+ clients on how to position themselves and articulate their value to a hiring manager, beyond just the document itself. Wrote tailored cover letters that connect a candidate's real background to the specific employer and role — never a template with names swapped in. Advised on LinkedIn profile optimization — headline, About section, and experience — kept consistent with the resume. Conducted intake consultations that surface real accomplishments clients had overlooked or undervalued in their own careers. Cut resume length and clutter while increasing relevance, producing focused one- to two-page documents that recruiters actually read. Delivered consistently on tight turnarounds while managing multiple clients at once. Built on a journalism background (newspaper writer and copy editor) for tight, clean writing, plus current work as a professional AI trainer and evaluator for an inside understanding of how today's ATS and AI screening tools read a resume. Maintained a steady stream of repeat clients and referrals from word-of-mouth alone.
