What are the chances that your resume will get you a job? A winning resume is more than just a two-page document listing your skills, more than a keyword-stuffed document to pass through the AI system. Sometimes, it might actually work in your favor to get a professional to do your resume.

Matt has a long history working in Human Resources and on recruitment/staffing teams across a variety of industries. He fashions resumes that allow employers to review the applicant's assets while highlighting his or her accomplishments, showcasing impacts on employer's bottom lines using quantitative verbiage, and maintaining brevity.

Matt believes in the benefits of getting your resume professionally written to help get you closer to your dream job’s door.

He shares tips on how to create a winning and valuable resume, mistakes to avoid, and how to pass the AI system. Listen in to learn the power of a creative and interesting cover letter that has higher chances of getting you that interview.
