Work with Me

I write resumes and LinkedIn profiles that pass ATS screening by using keywords that match the job posting. I also make sure your resume focuses on your achievements and not your duties. One applicant received an interview and job offer one week after submitting her rewritten resume! “Karyn, I’ll be working at a doctor’s office. I owe it all to your reworking of my resume.” Before this, she had been job-hunting for months.

Contact me to discuss your job-hunting goals. Together, we can make your job search successful.

I write standout resumes focusing on skills and experiences that match the job you want.

Your resume is a sales tool selling YOU. I will prepare a resume that shows you meet the employer’s needs.

Your resume will be ATS ready. ATS is an Applicant Tracking System that many employers use to identify the most qualified candidates. I will do this for you.

Your standard resume package includes a resume, cover letter, LinkedIn profile, and an interview guide with answers to common interview questions.

I am a member of the Professional Association of Resume Writers and Career Coaches.

I have a Master’s degree from Carnegie Mellon University, a Certificate in Copyediting from the University of California, San Diego, and extensive experience.

Contact me to discuss any of your communication and copyediting needs.

I’ve helped others, and I will help you!

What Clients are Saying

“When I newly moved into this country three years ago, I was so anxious to find a job to begin my new life here. Luckily I found Karyn to rewrite my resume. She asked me many professional questions on my previous work/education experiences and came out with an amazing resume for me. Soon after I first sent out this resume, I received an interview request. It became my first full time job in the States! Whenever I think of this, I am so grateful to Karyn for getting her help on the resume. Karyn, thank you!” RC

FAQ

  • We'll start with a free consultation to determine your communication needs.

    If you need a resume and LinkedIn profile, we will discuss your employment goals, as well as your education and employment history. I will use this information to provide a resume that immediately attracts the hiring manager’s interest.

    If you need copyediting, we will discuss your project and expectations. If you want, I will do a sample editing job before you commit to the job.

    Contact me so we can begin!

  • A basic resume package, including a resume and cover letter that highlights your accomplishments and ties them to the job you seek, an updated LinkedIn profile to better promote yourself, and an interview guide, is $235. Your resume will receive individual attention with your desired employment in mind.

    If you already have a resume and only want advice to make your resume and Linkedin profile more effective, I will provide a written critique with suggestions for $50. If you decide to use my services more fully after receiving your critique, the $50 will be deducted from the final cost of your resume package.

    I also offer a master resume package that includes material that can be adapted to unique job postings, cover letters that address the employers’ needs, an updated Linkedin profile, and an interview guide for $300.

    Copyediting fees depend on the level of copyediting needed, the project’s scope, and your desired timeline. Fees are based on the Editorial Freelancers Association guide.

  • Timelines depend on the project. You and I will discuss completion dates during our consultation, and the work will be completed by the date we agree on. I promise!

  • What do you say when the interviewer says, “Tell me about yourself”? They don’t want your life story. Be sure to prepare an answer with information that shows YOU are the perfect employee for them. Contact me for help in preparing the correct answer to this question.

    Always be positive in your interview.

    If your resume lists your job duties and not your achievements, it is unlikely you will be called for an interview.
