PHILOSOPHY

Hi. I'm Jared, and from my San Francisco base, I write resumes on behalf of clients locally and nationwide.

There are few documents more critical, yet misunderstood, than the resume. I have the joy of helping clients crack the code, one sentence at a time.

I love what I do. As a personalized service business, I work with no more than eight clients at a time.

Since having my own resume written early in my career, I've been enthralled by how a carefully written, customizable resume can serve as a targeted job search instrument. It can address career challenges while building job seeker confidence. All during a time when people can feel most vulnerable.

My personalized process includes gathering and quantifying substantive information from a client's background. Then designing a draft with compelling, industry-appropriate language.

Together, we refine the product until it's ready to pass several stages of the resume inspection process, including:

The glance / skim / first-level read step, which often involves an inexperienced screener or keyword programmed computer. I use design elements to guide them to what they need to see to get you in the A-pile.
The resume as interview script step, wherein the interviewer uses your document to ask more about you and scribble notes.
The closer inspection after you've left step, which underscores your candidacy with hard, fact-driven, numbers-based data. And p.s., everyone has quantitative data, but most people have trouble drawing it out.

My clients leave me armed with precision documents, ready to take charge of the next step in their career.

They also seem to appreciate the personalized attention, reflected by the many folks who return for updates, even after all these years.

Am I the right writer for you? Have a glance at my samples, then really read one or two for content. Would you want to meet the owner? The final product is the acid test. My engaging personality is just a side benefit. (A bit of humor for folks who've read this far. :-> )
