01 — Start with context
Tell me:
- what you are targeting;
- what is not working;
- what materials you already have;
- and anything else I need to understand about the move.
I will review the context and recommend an appropriate scope.
I do not take every project. If I do not think I am the right fit—or I think you are about to buy something you do not need—I will tell you.
02 — Kickoff and source material
Once scope is agreed, you will receive the project materials through the client workflow.
Depending on the engagement, I may review:
- existing resumes;
- LinkedIn profile;
- target job descriptions;
- career history;
- accomplishments;
- supporting documents;
- intake responses.
You do not need to organize everything perfectly first. That is part of my job.
03 — Strategy
Before drafting, I determine:
- target positioning;
- narrative priorities;
- strongest evidence;
- appropriate level of detail;
- gaps or conflicts;
- what should be emphasized;
- what should be compressed or removed.
This is why a strategic rebuild can look very different from a cosmetic rewrite.
04 — Draft
I develop the material around the strategy.
Every client is different.
I do not force careers into a single resume template or generic professional-branding formula.
05 — Review
Most resume and LinkedIn projects include two consolidated revision rounds.
The first can address substantive feedback—content, positioning, emphasis, tone, or questions.
The second is for final refinement and polish.
06 — Final delivery
Resume projects are delivered in editable Microsoft Word format and PDF.
You keep the editable files. They are yours.
Async first. Calls when useful.
Most engagements can be handled asynchronously.
That allows you to review drafts carefully instead of reacting to them on the spot, and it gives me time to work through complicated material rather than solving everything inside a calendar block.
When a conversation would materially improve the work, we can have one.
