What clients
have to say
"Working with Don was a game changer. Interviews multiplied, LinkedIn blew up so much I had to turn off Open to Work, and I landed the exact role we prepped for."
"In one week I moved into Senior GenAI Solutions Architect. Since then I've joined global security orgs and was invited to an innovation leadership doctorate at NYU."
"Six years in and Don still nails it — fast turnarounds, on-point narrative, and interviews that compliment the résumé. I refer him constantly."
"Two tailored résumés, a strong cover letter, and a LinkedIn that got attention — 17 interviews and 7 job offers. If I could give 7 stars, I would."
"As an executive coach, I send my clients to Don. He positions them for ATS and humans, and his network and strategy deliver results."
"White-glove, thoughtful, and fast. Don turned my experience into a story I'm proud of and ready to take to market."
Why people reach
out to work with us
"I've applied to dozens of roles and haven't heard back."
You're qualified. You've done the work. But your résumé isn't getting traction.
"I can't turn my experience into compelling bullet points."
Years of impressive work, but no narrative that shows real impact.
"My career path doesn't fit into a neat box."
You've pivoted, worn many hats, and need a coherent story recruiters understand.
"I've been at the same company for a long time."
You haven't needed a résumé in years — and the rules have completely changed.
"I'm transitioning industries, roles, or seniority levels."
Military to civilian. IC to leader. You need help translating your experience.
"I keep getting interviews… but not offers."
The positioning isn't doing the final work of setting you apart.
"I'm exhausted and just need help."
You want clarity and momentum, not another DIY project.
Let's transform your story.
I can help you build a compelling narrative — not a pitch, a conversation.

answers
How fast is the process?+
Most projects complete within 7–10 business days depending on scope and availability.
Are your résumés ATS-friendly?+
Yes. Formatting, sections, and keywords are calibrated for ATS — though truthfully I only talk about ATS for SEO. There's a lot of misinformation about its role in the hiring process.
Do you offer payment plans?+
Yes — 0% short-term financing (Klarna) and other options available at checkout.
Can I see examples of your work?+
Of course! You can check out before-and-after résumés on the website. Book a consultation to see industry-specific examples.
How many revisions do I get?+
Unlimited revisions are available during the writing process before you accept a project.
