Résumé Refresh for Experienced Professionals
Your work creates real outcomes. Your résumé should make that obvious.
My Resume Refresh Service provides an outside, executive lens so you can see and communicate your strengths, brand, and next possibilities more clearly. If your applications are stalling, it is usually a translation problem. Together we surface outcomes, scale, and leadership so your résumé feels like you, only elevated and positioning you for the role you want next.
Who this service is for
I specialize in complex résumés for:
Executives and managers with deep experience who need a tighter, outcomes-driven brand
Researchers who want to show their business and leadership relevance
Career changers moving into new industries
High-potential candidates with diverse experience that doesn’t map one-to-one to a posting but can absolutely deliver
If you’re unsure of the field’s language, feeling impostor syndrome, or struggling to show your transferable impact, I’ve got your back.
Your résumé is not saying what you think
If you are sending applications and hearing silence, the issue may be how your résumé is framed. These three patterns block strong candidates and chip away at your confidence.
No outcomes. Tasks appear without metrics, scale, budget, or team. Impact is hidden.
Keyword soup. ATS notices you but humans do not, or the reverse.
Buried leadership. Strategy, people leadership, and cross-functional results are overshadowed by tasks and service.
What you get with our service
A professional résumé that translates your experience and results into the language of the roles you want.

FAQs & Answers
“I tried AI and templates. Why didn’t they work?”
They do not know your industry language, scope, or the trade-offs that matter. They also tend to separate keywords from real accomplishments. That breaks trust with readers.
“I don’t have metrics.”
You likely do. We will uncover budgets, scale, growth, efficiency, quality, and influence. If data is missing, we frame credible (and honest!) proxies.
“My background is too varied or too academic.”
That is my specialty. I translate research, teaching, and service into business outcomes, and I connect diverse experience to the role at hand.
What does the service cost?

Why Clients Recommend Our Resume Work
I specialize in complex résumés. I extract quantified results, map them to target roles, and integrate the right keywords in context so you move through ATS screens and get noticed.
You get the competitive edge of an experienced executive coach who uses AI as a support tool, not a replacement for judgment.
AI can draft. But it cannot read your career, surface the right evidence, and position you for the room you want to enter.
Client Results
“The work I’ve done with you has been foundational. It created the infrastructure for transitioning and staying agile across different kinds of positions. Recently, things clicked and I had three job offers. The work we did together made that possible. It’s a pleasure to work with you.”
“What I appreciated most was your questions about numbers. I had to think and take a look at my past work, and then I realized the metrics were there. The way you organized the résumé made the accomplishments clear, not just statements but evidence I can reference. It feels like I did not just do things, I accomplished them. That will help me stand out. Thank you.”
“I recently received this message from a former client, asking to work together again to position her for her next opportunity.
“The résumé we built years ago moved me from postdoc to Research Director at the #1 hospital in New York (also ranked Top 20 worldwide by Newsweek 2025). Since then I have earned promotions and significant wins. Now I am ready for my next move.””
