No one should go it alone. Julie Walraven, principal writer for Design Resumes wants to be your partner in your career search as your Career Expert because you shouldn't have to "go it alone." For over 25 years, clients put their trust in Julie to guide them through the maze of job searching or reach for the next career goal. Partnered with Julie, clients have relaxed, knowing that they had a professional to move them forward. As a Certified Professional Resume Writer (CPRW), Julie has earned the right to be considered one of the career and resume experts in her industry.

Today's job search is continually changing. Once upon a time, even a paper resume wasn't needed. All you had to do was tell the owner of a company or his hiring manager that you could do the job. Unfortunately, that changed. Paper or printed resumes once ruled the job search. Now in addition to that paper version, you need to be able to use online job search strategies, submit your resume and/or application electronically, and market yourself to prospective employers.

You are the product! A career professional's job is to help you sell "YOU!" You need an arsenal of job search strategies, a LinkedIn profile filled with keywords, an understanding of the ever-changing social media tools, and that resume.

Continually researching both the career field and changing technology, Julie can assure that your resume and other career management services will stand the test of online submission requirements, like keywords and accomplishment-based details. Experienced with the benefits of social media and networking, Julie can help you write your LinkedIn profile, establish a Twitter presence, and direct you to resources to make you a savvy social media user. We incorporate Behaviorial Assessment Profiling tools to help you understand your strengths and weaknesses and position yourself for success in the job search and interview. Behaviorial Assessment is featured in all packages from Re-Entry to Executive Leadership.
