I was a recruiter for 15 years, working in technology, advertising, marketing, and business.

I've spent thousands of hours reading, reviewing, and editing résumés and LinkedIn profiles. I've interviewed thousands of people and worked with hundreds of hiring managers. 

I've coached junior and senior talent on résumé writing and have seen how other recruiters and staffing agencies approach reviewing résumés.

These are my tips on making your résumés and LinkedIn profiles stand out.
