Are You Spraying Résumés Like Confetti?
Look at you, hitting “Easy Apply” 27 times before breakfast. 💅🏽
Yeah… that’s some solid résumé confetti energy 🎊 and I'm not throwing any shade your way.
For many of my clients, "productivity" means apply apply apply.
But what if there's a better way?
What if you could trade chaos for clarity and finally start landing the right interviews with three simple questions?

Let’s Talk Career Cushioning
Six and a half years ago, I started résumé writing as a side gig.
While still in Tech, I met with clients daily, honed my craft, and built a collaborative process that worked.
I didn't need the money; I just loved writing.
As I still do, I loved helping with the difficult job of translating wins onto paper. There’s nothing like watching someone’s confidence return after they see their story reflected back at them.
Fast forward to today: I run a thriving résumé writing and career coaching practice that helps people navigate transitions with clarity and confidence.
I set my own hours, can work from anywhere, and, while my boss can overthink at times, we have an exceptional working relationship. 😉
It was a slow burn. I stayed in the corporate world for two years before deciding, after my final layoff, that I was done with the race.
Golden handcuffs were broken, and my side gig offered me a billowy, soft place to land.
If you’ve ever needed a little push to try your hand at something extra on the side, this one’s for you. ☁️
The Trend of Conscious Unbossing
“What’s the toughest part about being a manager?” he asked.
"Being a manager," I replied.
Anyone who’s led people knows: managing isn’t just a job. It’s an emotional, time-consuming second career layered on top of your 9-to-5.
And while I’ll forever love my brilliant, capable gals (shoutout to SNAC—I see you!), I can say with confidence: I don’t ever want to be a manager again. It’s a hard no for me, Dawg.
Turns out, I’m not alone, and it’s reshaping what leadership and the modern workplace really look like. 👀
Why Hire a Résumé Writer?
tl;dr: Hiring a professional résumé writer can cut down your search by over 30%. That means more interviews, less ghosting, and back to a paycheck sooner.
Now that’s what I call solid ROI. 💸

The Great Lock-in
Is October the new January? This trend says yes, and honestly, I’m here for it. So, I’m taking that energy and locking into the world of LinkedIn posting (again)… but doing it in my favorite medium: video! Debs will be thrilled to know my degree from 20,000 years ago is finally earning its keep.
