Resume Bootcamp

If you are thinking about writing a resume and ...

you want an easy way to hit the points hiring people need to see every time
you want to be proud and confident about the resume you send in
you want to make the best impression possible and have your resume sound like you
you want to land interviews based on your qualifications and stories. And when you show up, they know what they are getting.
you want to know what makes you unique for a role and how to sell that
you want to be led by someone who has helped thousands of people create their resumes.

then this is the program for you.

You could probably use a process that helps you write a great resume with the least pain possible.

You need a resume to open doors. And while I understand the urge to just have someone do it for you, you are better off writing it yourself.

Nobody can write about the things you have done, like you can.

You just need to know the new rules of resume writing, get some inspiration, follow a proven process and get some encouragement. I would love to do that for you.

The beautiful thing about writing your own resume is that you own and know your career story and the words. It becomes easier for you to talk about your skills in an interview, while networking, or on LinkedIn, when you write your resume yourself.

Writing a resume isn't that hard to do. The hard part is when you start to question what to include, what format to use, and what the expectations are.

Would you like to know that stuff without asking six different sources?

Would you like to have a clear and simple process, one so perfect that creating it only takes a few days?

I've put this program together to help you do exactly that.

It's called Resume Bootcamp.

The Process

DAY ONE: Gather your stories, find the keywords, and craft a resume profile

DAY TWO: Choose the right format, lay out the sections, write accomplishment statements

DAY THREE: Come back with fresh eyes, edit, edit, and then edit again.

Voila!

Resumes aren't that complicated

I used to write poor resumes. And, the worst thing was that I didn't know they were bad.

It didn't matter because I was going for entry or coordinator level roles. But, once I started applying for higher level jobs I stopped getting calls. I knew I was qualified. But I wasn't landing interviews.

I was doing something wrong. I got obsessed with resumes. I read every resume book I could get my hands on.

I signed up for resume classes and spent three years studying resumes from every angle. My resumes got better. I even did a HR Certificate to understand how recruiters and hiring people read resumes.

I used my skills to land a job as a Career Transition Consultant at a HR firm. In that role I learned resume writing from their executive coaches, and quickly became the in-house resume expert. I taught all the workshops and webinars. Clients of all levels came to see me for resume help. I have taught over 1,000 people, ranging from entry level to CEO level how to write their resume.

Once you have a process, resumes are easier to write

Resume writing is not about a lack of information, but too much information.

You need a trusted process to craft a document that lands you interviews, instead of questioning every line and word.

Get my process for creating resumes that get you called for an interview without ever having to use cheat tactics, swallow your pride, or be a cheese ball -- not even once.

Are you experienced?

I get it – so many people talk about resumes, but it's hard to know who is the real deal.

I have been hired by institutions like The University of Winnipeg to teach resume writing for their PACE program, and advice their leadership how to improve the course. I led resume writing workshops and webinars for three years at People First HR; and have been invited to teach resumes at communities and schools across the country.

I have been helping people figure out their stories and how to position themselves for over 20 years, first as a drama teacher and now as a career coach. This is my favorite work to do.

You like people with degrees? Me too! I have a B.A in Theatre, M.Ed in Humane Education and a HR Certificate. I am a certified Resume Strategist and member of the Career Professionals of Canada.

I contributed to the resume section of the Amazon Best-selling resume search book, YouMap.

And I'd love to help you!
