Even if you are not looking for a job, she can help you be ready in case the perfect job comes up. My advice—Don't short-change yourself—even if you think you only need the 'resume package' I would recommend getting the all-inclusive offering, I really feel it was worth every penny and Joyce really knows what she is talking about. She is a genuinely nice person and followed up with me afterwards to see how my job search was going. I am also a big fan of supporting local and woman-owned businesses.”

I am a recent graduate making a career change from the dental field to the environmental sector. Joyce responded quickly and had my resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile all professionally updated for a big networking event I was attending. I was able to land 4 interviews within a month. She also helped me prep for the interviews as I was a bit rusty. Now just 3 months after graduation, I have secured a position with my top choice company. I loved the corroborative process of working with Joyce. Communication was wonderful and her fees are fair. She gave me the confidence boost I needed to join the corporate world. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a professional refresh."

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the resume refresh process work?

We’ll start with a discovery call where I learn about your past experience, skillset, and goals for your next career move. I’ll use that insight to create a custom plan for updating your resume, with a focus on the types of jobs you’re aiming for.

Within a few days, I’ll deliver a polished first draft. We’ll review it together and make any edits needed. I’ll keep refining the document until you’re completely satisfied. The goal is to create a resume you’re proud of one that helps open doors and reflects your strengths.

When is payment required and how do I pay?

Once we agree on the scope of work, I’ll send you an invoice and project timeline. Payment is required upfront to begin. I accept Venmo and Zelle for convenience. If you’re local, cash is also accepted.

What is the value in working with a resume writer instead of using ChatGPT?

AI can be helpful for starting content, but it has limits. It can’t fully understand your background, goals, or personality based on just a few prompts. That often leads to robotic language or resumes that miss the mark.

Working with a professional resume writer means you get one-on-one support, strategic insights, and a resume tailored to your experience and goals. I’ll help you highlight your strengths in a way AI tools can’t, so you can stand out in today’s competitive job market.

Will your service guarantee I land a job?

No one can promise a job offer just like fitness results, outcomes can vary. Even with the right experience and keywords, hiring decisions depend on many factors: timing, salary expectations, internal hiring, or even a hiring freeze.

What I can promise is a strategic, personalized resume and support to help you show up stronger in the job market. If you're not getting interviews, we’ll re-evaluate, make improvements, and adjust the strategy to help you get more responses.

Why is it important to update my LinkedIn profile page?

LinkedIn is one of the first places hiring managers and recruiters check when searching for qualified candidates. You don’t need to upload your resume, but your profile should align with your experience, elevator pitch, and job goals. Especially if you’re job hunting while still employed.

I’ll audit your entire profile and update key sections to help you stand out. This includes writing a custom headline, About section, and keyword rich skills list. These updates make it easier for recruiters to find you and increase your chances of getting contacted for interviews.
