Human résumé writing • Former Fortune 50 recruiter • CPRW

AI helped write your résumé.

Now make it sound like you.

If you have rewritten the same résumé over and over, prompted AI a dozen different ways, or ended up with something polished that still does not feel right, I can take it from here. We will turn your real experience into a focused story that makes sense to recruiters and hiring managers.

When AI gets you 80% there.

The last 20% is usually not grammar. It is deciding what matters, what can go, what makes you different, and what a recruiter needs to understand quickly.

It sounds generic

The sentences are polished, but they could describe almost anyone with your title.

You keep rewriting it

Every new prompt produces another version, but none of them answers the bigger question: what should your story be?

Your value is buried

You know you did strong work, but the résumé still reads more like responsibilities than results.

The difference is not whether AI can write a sentence.

It can. The difference is having an experienced person make the decisions with you.

Human-led by design

Strategy first. Writing second.

What belongs on the page? What is distracting? Where is the real accomplishment? What will a recruiter notice first? Which parts of your background need more context, not more adjectives? That is the work we do together.

5 star experience all around!

Working with Don was wonderful. He was easy to talk to and really helped me think through my work experiences, focusing on outcomes. He then crafted my resume to include metrics and detail that shows real impact, not just job responsibilities.

10/10 and worth every penny.

Don is excellent at what he does. I received several interview requests and two job offers within a month of submitting the resume and cover letter drafted by Don. 10/10 and worth every penny.
