FAQ

Most resume revisions are delivered within 48 hours of your session. During our consultation I gather everything I need to rebuild your resume from the ground up — your experience, your target roles, and the keywords that matter most to the jobs you're pursuing. Once I have that, I get to work. You'll receive your updated resume promptly, along with one revision round to make sure everything feels exactly right. If you're working against a deadline, mention it when you book and I'll do my best to accommodate.

ATS stands for Applicant Tracking System — the software most companies use to automatically screen resumes before a human ever reads them. According to Jobscan and Harvard Business School research, 88% of employers have screened out qualified candidates because their resume didn't match the exact language in the job description. That's not a skills problem — it's a translation problem. Every resume I write is built to pass ATS filters first and impress hiring managers second. That means clean formatting, strategic keyword placement pulled directly from your target job descriptions, and a structure that works for both the algorithm and the person on the other side of the desk.

Most clients see significant improvement in a single 60-minute session. We cover your most important interview questions, work through your career story, and do a live mock interview so you can practice your answers out loud — which is the only way to actually build confidence before the real thing. Some clients book a second session before a high-stakes interview or after receiving feedback from a previous one. There's no pressure to commit to more than one — book one session, show up ready to work, and we'll make the most of every minute.

LinkedIn optimization starts with a 30-minute phone call — no video required. I ask you about your target roles, your experience, and where you want to go. Then I do the writing. You'll receive a rewritten headline, a custom About/Summary section, and experience bullet reframes within 48–72 hours. One revision round is included. If you want recruiters to actually find you and clients to actually trust you before they've met you, this is where to start.

More often than people think — yes. While not every application requires one, a well-written cover letter can be the difference between getting an interview and getting overlooked when two candidates have similar experience. More importantly, a cover letter gives you space to tell your story in a way a resume can't. You can explain a career gap, express genuine interest in a specific company, or highlight the one thing that makes you the right fit for this particular role. My cover letters are custom written for your target position — not generic templates — and are optimized to make a strong first impression in the seconds a hiring manager spends on them.

The Full Bundle at $675 includes everything — resume writing and review with full ATS optimization, a custom cover letter written for your target role, a 60-minute interview coaching session with mock interview, and full LinkedIn profile optimization. You also get priority scheduling, one revision round on both the resume and cover letter, post-interview follow-up support, and a 7-page interview prep guide. Purchased separately these services total $825 — the bundle saves you $150. It's the most cost-effective way to work with me and the option I recommend for anyone who wants a complete career transformation rather than a single piece of the puzzle.

The best thing you can do before your session is complete the intake form honestly and email me your current resume at least 24 hours before we meet. The more context I have going in, the less time we spend on background and the more time we spend on building your materials and coaching your skills. Come ready to talk about where you are, where you want to go, and what's been getting in the way. You don't need to have everything figured out — that's what I'm here for. Just show up ready to be honest and ready to work. That's all it takes.
