Best Resumes of New York

Award-winning Certified Professional Resume Writer and managing owner of Best Resumes of New York, servicing professionals from all career paths throughout the Greater New York Area and around the world since 1993.  

Thank you for your interest in Best Resumes of New York!  Are you frustrated with your current job, looking to explore better opportunities, or seeking to change fields? Maybe you have a unique situation or just got laid off and unexpectedly need a new resume. Whatever the scenario is, I can help. 

My Approach – In addition to creating a profile, selecting the right keywords, and, like a good journalist, creating a backstory to frame your experience, I want to know about your achievements. That is what we collaborate on: Your experience. Your backstory. Your achievements. I take care of the design, wording, and strategy. As any good team, we collaborate on the process from the get-go to the finish line!

Resume writing requires critical thinking and lots of creativity in terms of how the information should flow, what the messaging should be, and how the resume should be designed – from modest to modern. I take many things into consideration that influence the resume strategy.

I take into consideration your achievements, core competencies, and the business environments you’ve worked in and/or are targeting — such as startups and high-growth companies, as well as brick ‘n click. 

Moreover, I shape your brand. For example, are you a turnaround strategist? Maybe you are an industry trailblazer who has taken risks to drive the success of new business ventures. These “X factors” will grab and hold a reader’s attention and encourage them to call you.

Personalized Service – You will work with me, not a subcontractor. This is my business and I care about my clients – many of whom are still my clients after two decades and gladly refer me. I take pride in my work and have the expertise needed to develop powerful resumes that work — and the client testimonials to back it up.
