Why My Resumes Get Results

  • 1:1 Coach-like Approach: My resume services start with a 45-minute call so I can deeply understand your story and your strengths. From there, we’ll craft a resume that gets you noticed for your unique skills.
  • Powerful Storytelling: Rarely is a professional journey a straight line — and that’s where a powerful narrative comes into play. With decades of experience as a writer and editor, I help you tell your professional story in the most engaging way possible.
  • One-of-a-Kind Resumes: This is not a resume farm! No drones churning out carbon copy resumes here. We do not use templates or boilerplate language.
  • Thoughtful Design: A cookie cutter resume won’t help you stand out from the crowd, so we don’t waste our time with the same recycled formats.

Who I Work With

From entry-level professionals to C-Suite executives, I have experience working with clients at all levels and varied industries. A few to highlight:

  • Government Employees & Civil Servants
  • Non-profit Professionals
  • Military & Police
  • Educators & Academia
  • Creative, Marketing & Sales
  • Healthcare, Pharmaceutical & Medical Professionals
  • Tech & Finance

I am truly passionate about supporting clients through challenging transitions, such as military to civilian, academic to private sector, government to business, and “Second Life” jobs  — those seeking jobs after a long break in employment or after retirement).

What My Clients Say

Bottom line, I got the job that I wanted!

"If you are looking for your next position I encourage you to reach out to Kate Stephenson for your resume, cover letter and private sessions to prep you for interviewing. After meeting with Kate I was extremely confident going into the interview. Bottom line, I got the job that I wanted! She is terrific!"

 She was able to take what I said and flesh it out into a much more comprehensive resume.

"I had the pleasure of working with Kate to redo my resume previously done by another company. Two things stood out that I loved: 1) She set aside an hour to speak with me about my work history and to thoroughly understand who I am professionally. 2) My primary concern with my old resume was the lack of substance/accomplishments. She was able to take what I said and flesh it out into a much more comprehensive resume. Kate has a bubbly, easy-going personality and is thorough in her communications throughout the process. I highly recommend her services."
