Hi Everyone. I don't usually use my blog for self promotion, but I do when I've had good news and want to share it with my clients, past and present. Last night, Career Directors International announced this year's TORI (Toast of the Resume Industry) awards and I'm pleased to report that this year, I am a two-time winner: Best Graduate Resume of 2015 and 2nd prize for Read More
The Value of an Executive Resume Writer
It's not the mechanics of getting out a piece of paper and asking a few questions, any more than your job is to have a meeting. A few days ago a resume writing colleague was at a loss for words when a potential client queried why a resume for an executive would be more expensive than say, a resume for a graduate. "After all," the person asked, "the process is the same Read More

Become interview savvy
Interviews can be really stressful. Part of that stress is the pressure you feel that you may be "caught out" by not having the right knowledge or skills.

How to maintain your motivation in your job
My first real job was as a “Turn on Clerk.” I’m not kidding. This was a rather descriptive (and enormously funny) title for an administrative job that involved turning on the gas supply and creating accounts for people who were moving into new apartments. While a great job, it was never meant to be my life’s calling and I eventually moved on – thank Read More
Making an impression in the job search
People think they only have to make an impression at interview. Wrong! The way you are perceived will be long before you get to interview.

The Ethical Job Search
A few days ago I was chatting with an executive-level client who told me that she had invested in a cheap “burner” phone with its own service plan to use exclusively for her job search. She felt it wasn’t ethical to use her current company’s resources to search for a new job. Plus, she knew the company’s mobile device management system had the ability to access her Read More

How long has it been since you’ve taken a look at your LinkedIn profile? There are more than 364 million people in over 200 countries currently using LinkedIn. If your profile is outdated, poorly written or just plain blah, it’s easy to get lost in the crowd.
