How it all began...
I’m your go-to girl for all things “career”. Before diving head first into resume writing, I was a young professional and a recent graduate feeling the frustration of the job search. (The “three jobs in two years” kind of frustration.) I read through hundreds of job postings, knowing that my resume was being scanned and forgotten (including my super-relevant skills and qualifications). Sound familiar?
After struggling to find my place in traditional sales and marketing roles, I decided to go back to what I knew I was good at — I launched (ha!) LaunchPoint Resume full-time by leveraging what I studied in school: Writing. Consulting. Advising.
Now, I’ve overhauled more than 690 resumes all across America. With one-on-one consultations and a personalized approach to resume writing, I ensure that your true VALUE shines through that online application portal and lands you the interview. How do I do it? With resumes that grab you at hello. To me, pretense is snotty, so my advice is practical, actionable, and unfiltered.
LaunchPoint Resume is committed to creating a customized portfolio unique to you and your qualifications. A bold one-two punch that ensures employers notice your attention to detail, showing them that calling you for an interview would be their best decision yet.
My goal? Inspire confidence and reignite the spark that comes from working a job you love! Let’s put the future in your hands rather than some anonymous recruiter. What do you say, you in?
