As an IT resume writer, I’ve created the most straightforward process possible.
Let me me walk you through my IT resume writing process:
Schedule a Call. We'll schedule an initial 30-minute call to mutually determine if we’re a fit. I’m always honest. I hate when people try to sell me or close me, and I won’t do that to you. My priority is working with people for whom I can make a dramatic impact—so if I don't think I'm the right IT resume writer for the job, I'll let you know. You can be certain I won’t waste your time or try to talk you into something you don’t need. There is, of course, no cost for this call.
IT Resume Interview. Most IT resume writing services use worksheets or questionnaires. I don’t. I believe that a live, one-on-one conversation enables the back and forth that’s necessary to really understand your value and accomplishments. So we'll take about 90-120 minutes for an in-depth interview about every aspect of your career. I know the questions to ask to "get under the hood" of your career, determine your key differentiators, and define your unique brand. That’s why I hear, “That’s a great question!” very frequently.
Clean Initial IT Resume Draft with Minimal Revisions. I'll get to work, and in 2-4 weeks you'll have an IT resume that you can use that night. There are, of course, two rounds of revisions included in the initial investment. But honestly? Not one client out of ten needs more than minor changes—a word here or a number there. I leverage my experience as an IT resume writer to make sure the job is done right—because it's important to keep your momentum and hit the ground running. Once you've signed off on the resume, I'll get started on your keyword-optimized LinkedIn profile, and you'll have that in 2-3 weeks.
Tech Career Coaching. We'll then schedule coaching sessions to help you leverage your new portfolio, get the job search moving, and ensure that you get maximum value from your investment. In coaching we can talk about job search and interview strategies or concerns, or go into deeper career issues, like staying an individual contributor or moving into IT leadership.
Most importantly, you'll be working with me, and only me. No subcontractors and no AI.
Too often in the tech resume industry, you’ll talk to one person for sales and a second for an interview—if they don’t just send you a questionnaire to fill out. You may not talk to the third person, the one who actually writes your resume, at all.
That’s not an ideal situation.
No one wants to find that they’ve been farmed out to a subcontractor who doesn’t know you, doesn’t know your career, and may not know a lot about IT, technical careers, or IT resume writing.
It’s also critical these days to know that your first draft won’t be written by a bot. AI has many uses, but AI writing—as we all know—is canned, soulless, and phony. That’s not the impression you want to make.
That’s why you’ll be working with a top IT resume writer from start to finish.
I believe that building a personal, one-on-one connection is the key to successfully defining your brand—and that direct contact ensures nothing but the highest quality work. The fact that there’s no one in the middle also ensures that you're working with an IT resume writer on your level, who knows your technology and tech language as well as you do.
Instead of a generalist resume writer who may have little to no idea what you actually do.
Bottom line? IT careers are complex enough. You don't need to jump through additional hoops to take your next step.
I can help with a clear, streamlined, transparent process.
