I craft résumés, cover letters, CVs, and professional bios for individuals who need clear, well-crafted career documents to support their next step, whether that’s a move upward, a switch in focus, or a first job.
Clients have included professionals seeking better roles, compensation, or responsibility; those transitioning to a different sector or industry; experienced professionals pursuing senior leadership roles or board positions; recent graduates applying for their first professional job; and high school and college students applying for after-school or summer jobs and internships.
I have also worked with contracting and staffing companies to better position their candidates for open roles, and with Human Resources managers to help them support displaced or downsized employees so the latter can feel more empowered in their job search.
The career documents that I craft are compelling, clearly demonstrating your capabilities, experience, and accomplishments, and positioning you as a candidate worth serious consideration. I take the time to understand your background, goals, and concerns, and translate what you know and what you’ve done into documents that clearly reflect who you are and what you bring to the table.
“After 8 years with one company and 11 years in my career, I was struggling with where to begin to present myself for my desired next opportunity. Linda started by listening to details on every project, job and experience and weaving it all together into a compelling story. The résumé Linda prepared helped me secure the interview I desired, which ultimately led to an offer.
“A final note: Linda does great work. One of the comments the interviewer made was ‘This is the best-written résumé I’ve ever seen.'”

All documents are written by me. I do not use AI to create résumés or other career materials, because this work requires discernment, context, and judgment, not automation. Nor do I offer templates or anything one-size-fits-all, because they are ineffective.
What you get from me are carefully-crafted documents that are tailored to your specific situation and clearly demonstrate your value.
Opportunities can show up when you least expect them. Be prepared for them. When you’re ready, you can email me and we’ll get started.
Selected Outcomes
Executive Leadership Positioning: Retained by a senior public-sector executive to support a return to the private sector. Repositioned narrative and board-facing materials to translate public-sector leadership experience into alignment with corporate growth objectives. The client secured a CEO appointment with a private equity firm.
From Displaced to Hired: Engaged directly by displaced faculty and administrators following the unexpected closure of their school. Crafted targeted résumés and provided positioning support. A few received two job offers in a highly-competitive job market, including a teacher who expanded her search beyond classroom roles, accepted a position in education sales, and successfully transitioned into a new and better-paying role.
“I have to be honest. Even though I had just lost my income, had no job leads or much hope of a potential position in teaching at that time, I thought little about working on a better résumé than I currently had. I figured the one I had ‘would do.’
“The opportunity came my way to have Linda, a professional at creating résumés, give of her time and services to all the teachers who had suddenly lost their jobs at our school. After hearing others rave and praise Linda’s skills, I became very interested in making my résumé better. I thought I would just send her a copy of my old résumé and she would make it look better. Not true!
“She not only made it look better, but probably spent an hour on the phone with me and multiple emails, talking to me, getting more information and ‘pulling’ out skills and talents that I didn’t necessarily think were worth putting on a résumé. Then she went about organizing the information in a way I could never have done on my own. I was beyond appreciative and in awe of her talents and abilities.
“It was a process that took me back through my former positions and responsibilities, and gave me the new understanding of the many things a résumé ‘should be’ and ‘can be’ with the proper expert to help you. I ended up with not only one, but three résumés tailored to different types of school settings.
“I am so thankful and pleased with the time, effort and talents of Linda Jew! I not only was offered one teaching job, but two! I was able to choose the best opportunity for me. I know I owe this in large part to Linda’s talents, allowing me to stand out amongst hundreds of other résumés.
“I would highly recommend anyone — out of work or not — to take the opportunity to update their résumé with Linda.”

In the U.S. and Abroad
“Linda was recommended to me by a friend who spoke very highly of her, and after using Linda’s services, I completely understand why. Linda was personable, professional, and timely. She did two résumés for me, and both of them were excellent. I live abroad, and the time difference never seemed to conflict with our correspondence. Within one month of having my new and polished résumés, I landed the job of my dreams as an assistant professor, and I even got a compliment on my résumé in my interview. I have recommended Linda’s services to all of my friends and family, and I will most definitely be a repeat customer.”

Fresh Out of School
“Hi Linda! Just wanted to let you know that I got a job! Two interviews, two offers… the only interviews of my life and I got offers from both! I have already been on the job a week. It is a sports marketing firm… I am working lots of hours and getting great sales experience. Great opportunity for me to see if I like this field. Thank you AGAIN for your help! I know the résumé was a huge boost to my confidence and very attractive to prospective employers! You rock!!!”
