6X Certified: Certified Master Resume Writer, Certified Employment Interview Consultant, Nationally Certified Online Profile Expert

Almost 20 years ago, I fell into the career field, landing as a vocational counselor for a nonprofit training and placement facility after earning an MA in psychology.

Like most nonprofits, we were long on needs and short on money. I turned to the fledgling internet in search of free resources I could use with our clients.

I didn’t find much.

So in 2000, I launched career-intelligence, The savvy careerist’s resource. It quickly became a highly regarded resource, recommended by top universities including Harvard, Dartmouth, and Cornell.

Before starting my resume writing firm in 2014, I taught writing and communications at the university level, wrote for several media outlets, and worked as contingency and retained recruiter.

🥇I’m proud to have earned multiple industry certifications including the Certified Master Resume Writer designation held by fewer than 50 resume writers worldwide.

Under the Smarter Career Moved brand I host a podcast, 26 Career Podcasts to Inspire and Guide Job Seekers (Jobscan 2021), popular LinkedIn Live show, and growing Club on 👋 Clubhouse.

I serve on the National Resume Writers’ Association (NRWA) Board of Directors and was honored to serve for two years on Career Directors International’s certification committee,

🌐 My career advice has been published Forbes, Thrive Global, Medium, The Huffington Post, The Chicago Tribune,  Monster, Vault, The Glass Hammer, and The Wall Street Journal. View my most recent media mentions.

When you come on board, you’ll be working 1:1 with me, not a subcontractor.

If you’re a senior-level professional who appreciates a direct, honest, approach, I may be a good fit for you.
