ABOUT ELVIA NELSON

Every great opportunity starts with a great story. When told right, it shapes perceptions, builds trust, and moves people to action. That’s the power of storytelling!I came to this realization in the aftermath of COVID-19. As a Hospitality Director, I watched past colleagues and team members struggle to reenter the workforce, and I knew I wanted to help! With my background in hiring, sourcing, and resume evaluation, the best way I knew to help then was starting the conversation with: “Let’s start with your resume.”So, what started as a way to help my past teams regain their footing in a changing job market transformed into a mission to empower professionals everywhere. That mission became Start With a Resume, a small business dedicated to helping people craft and own their career stories through 1:1 resume writing services, expertise, and more!Since then, Start With a Resume has: Helped 500+ professionals land opportunities with career-defining storytelling. Built a thriving 23K+ social media community centered on the power of personal branding. Sold digital resources globally, proving the impact of a great story.Now, as Social Media Manager and Copywriter at Partners Personnel, I fuel my passion for storytelling by developing content strategies, creating resonating campaigns, and elevating brand presence to connect great people with great work.After all, crafting the right story isn’t just what I do—it’s my superpower.Need help telling yours?
