Part of why I love editing résumés is because I can directly influence the others’ well-being. Transformational change doesn’t just happen on paper, it happens in my clients’ minds when they realize their skills, talents and abilities can be used for so much more than they believe. A great opportunity to get involved with an international development NGO via program evaluation! Link below ⬇️ Sometimes you need to throw it in the fire 🔥 and start over. Even when the sentence is perfect, if it doesn’t advance your point, delete it. You get a new toy - you immediately try it out. Are you this passionate about what you do? Maybe it’s time to switch careers! Resumes aren’t just for getting hired; they are also often required by boards and organizations you may be wanting to join.

Let us trim the fat to get your application to the top of the virtual pile. ...effective! Adjectives in your resume are like salt 🧂- a little goes a long way. Too much and your main content is ruined.
