Why are these professionally written resume samples available for FREE?
You might be wondering why I provide free professional resume samples. I know job seekers struggle. This latest recession seems to be on the 5 year mark right now with no return in sight to the prosperous years we once knew. Job seekers need to have cutting edge strategies in this market.
My fees are set at a competitive rate for a certified professional resume writer but not everyone feels ready to invest in hiring a professional resume writer.
Of course, there is a limit to the number of clients I can work with (about 10 to 20 per month) but by providing the samples and the free content marketing information, I can now help job seekers who may never choose to be my clients.
Job seekers can use these samples as examples to help them get started. Each of my resumes is crafted just for the client so of course you can’t just stick your name on it and call it good. You have to think through the process and write your own accomplishments and incorporate the information that makes you valuable to the next employer.
My clients know that I investigate and discover their unique talents to find out who they are and how to showcase their talents. If YOU choose to work with me, your professionally written resume will never be an exact clone of any that you see here.
Each resume begins with a blank document and evolves into your personalized professionally written resume focusing on your unique accomplishments and talents. No templates or preconceived formats are part of my resume designs or writing. Let me know how I can help you!
I use the unique process I have dubbed “the Julie Difference,” and to read more about it, click here.

Tim’s story
Tim initially called in July 2009 and didn’t schedule an appointment until February of 2010. As his resume indicates, he had spent most of his career with Empire Bank in Baltimore, fifteen years and he was downsized with the global financial crisis. His bank was one of the big ones and they needed to make radical changes to survive.
He returned to his roots in the Midwest to be there for family. His mother needed his help and support. He took off time to rethink how best to regroup.
By his first appointment, he had already been unemployed for 12 months. We started his package with the Executive version of a DISC assessment to determine what strategies to take in developing his resume. His Success Insights Wheel pointed to him as an implementing analyzer as his adapted style and a promoting analyzer as his natural style. With that confirmation and his existing background, we targeted the resume to business analysis positions.
After the resume was completed, we also introduced him to LinkedIn and got him started thinking about networking.
His initial first contact was outside the financial field with a new college in his area. We networked him in and he jumped right into a very intense interview process, a total of 7, which ended with the offer to someone else. However, the interview process got him acquainted with some of the strategies used by interviewers.
In July 2010, he was hired to be with a new financial institution and by the time I contacted him for an update, he was already promoted to Assistant Vice President. When you go through a downsizing after 10 to 15 years or more with the same company, you do need to regroup. He entered the job market at a very turbulent time with 12 months already between him and the last position. His success demonstrates both his talents and the value of a strong resume that pinpoints your talents.
