ABOUT KRIS NIKLAWSKI
Most professionals don’t struggle because they lack experience. They struggle because their resume and LinkedIn profile no longer reflect who they are now—or where they’re trying to go next.As a senior-level career strategist and executive resume writer with more than 20 years of experience, I help professionals clarify their value, sharpen their positioning, and move forward with confidence.I’m an Academy Certified Resume Writer (ACRW), Certified Professional Resume Writer (CPRW), and Nationally Certified Online Profile Expert (NCOPE). But credentials alone don’t create momentum—vast experience, sound judgment and high-impact strategies do.As a Senior Partner at Blue Sky Resumes, I work closely with professionals and executives worldwide to develop resumes, LinkedIn profiles, job search letters, and executive bios that are:• Strategically positioned for decision-makers• Optimized for ATS and LinkedIn search• Clear, credible, and easy to scanMy strength is knowing what to emphasize, what to omit, and how to translate experience into relevance for today’s hiring landscape.I believe effective career marketing lives at the intersection of:• Keyword Strategy and Human Storytelling• Clarity and Confidence• Precision and RestraintBecause while systems may screen resumes, people still make hiring decisions.If you’re quietly wondering whether your resume and LinkedIn profile still represent your level, scope, and direction (or if they’re holding you back) I’m happy to talk. Feel free to message me if this resonates or you’re considering a next step.
