I’m passionate about empowering you and making you feel good about yourself! I listen actively, provide comfortable conversation, and add positivity to each call. I don’t provide a boring list of job duties and responsibilities anyone can do that! I am a skilled writer who brings out your best. When we’re collaborating, you will be amazed at how far you’ve come once you see all your accomplishments on paper! Your completed resume will give you the boost of confidence you need as you step into your interview!

My biggest thrill is when a client says, “I love my résumé!” “I’m getting interviews!” “I can’t believe I did all this!” and ultimately … “I’m Hired!” Recruiters say … “Laura, work your magic!”

You worked hard to get where you are, your career documents must capture what sets you apart. Simply put, you need to look great on paper! As a writer, it is my responsibility to ensure what I provide delivers synergy and honesty. That’s why you will work 1:1 with me. I never use contract writers because they won’t get to know you as well as I will.
