Experience

1. Executive Resume Writer

   Written Resume

   Jan 2016 — Present · Phoenix, AZ, US

   Written Resume was founded to help job seekers better understand the job application process from an insider\'s perspective and help get their resume noticed. Having a talent acquisition and HR management background is what separates me from your typical resume writing service. I excel at writing a resume and LinkedIn profile that appeals to both applicant tracking systems and recruiters while delivering a valuable understanding of what hiring managers are looking for in applicants.Did you know that recruiters spend just 6 seconds on their first review of an applicant\'s resume? Read that again.6 SECONDS! It seems unfair, but an average recruiter is typically receiving hundreds to thousands of resumes for a given position, and you have just a few seconds to make a favorable, first impression with your resume.Let\'s set up a time to discuss the ways I could help improve your resume!
