Resume & Cover Letter

The Client: Scarlett is an accomplished peacebuilder and trainer who needed help conveying her professional experience in writing.

The Challenge: Scarlett was nervous that her experience “pigeon-holed” her into teaching positions, when in fact she had considerable policy, research, and curriculum development capacity and was seeking roles to match.

The Solution: I rewrote her chronological resume and cover letter to better reflect this versatility, and also crafted her a skills-based resume to highlight not just what she has done, but how she thinks, works, and learns. I made sure all her materials were packed with keywords likely to be picked up by the search algorithms associated with the sorts of position she was targeting. Finally, I made sure to write Scarlett a How-To Guide for her materials, so that she could get the most out of them for years to come.
