Does creating a résumé stress you out?
If it’s been a while since you updated your résumé, writing one can be really frustrating. You might not know what to include or how to word it, and there’s so much conflicting résumé advice out there that it’s hard to know who to trust. A résumé that doesn’t get you noticed by recruiters and employers can make you question your experience, keep you stuck, and make moving to a new job feel nearly impossible.
You may be thinking, “Creating a good résumé shouldn’t be this hard.” The good news is that it isn’t. A well-written résumé gets noticed by applicant tracking systems (ATS), grabs the attention of recruiters and hiring managers, helps you land interviews, and gives you more confidence in your job search. And you don’t need to pay hundreds of dollars for someone to write a generic one for you. For $37, the Mid-Career Résumé Strategies Guide gives you everything you need to create a résumé that gets results on your own, with confidence.

Common Questions
Do I need a copy of my current résumé?
No. This guide walks you through creating a résumé from start to finish. A recent copy of your résumé isn’t required, but it will be helpful.
Why should I trust the information in this guide?
I have over 10 years of experience writing and editing résumés for clients, and my process comes directly from years of conversations with recruiters and hiring managers. Current recruiters have also reviewed and vetted this guide to make sure the content matches what they expect.
Will your process guarantee my résumé gets through an ATS (applicant tracking system)?
No one can guarantee your résumé will get through an ATS. Your content needs to match the search terms the recruiter uses. The more closely your résumé is tailored to the job description, the more likely it is to be read, and this guide shows you how to do that.
How do I access the bonus content?
The bonus sections are included in the PDF guide. The brainstorming and tracking resources are linked inside the PDF, so you can open them whenever you’re ready. Each link will prompt you to copy the resource into your own Google Drive.
