OUR ESSENTIAL RESUME PACKAGE

The Essential Package is our first-level resume and career marketing package designed to give you the tools to provide what you need to execute a successful job search.

OVERVIEW

ESSENTIAL PACKAGE

The Essential Package begins with the resume but also includes a comprehensive strategic marketing plan. We review your DISC communication and behavioral profile and past career history to identify the next best steps for you.

The process continues with creating a dynamic LinkedIn profile to round out your online presence.

We work together using my unique consultative, collaborative, and interactive process.  We use Zoom as I interview you and write your resume and LinkedIn profile in real-time. You have total voice in formatting, design, and content. There are no cookie-cutter resumes or templates with me at Design Resumes.

This Essential career marketing package will provide all you need for a successful job search. Estimated time working together: up to 10 hours
