Resume Writing

Whether you have an existing resume or not, we will craft a document that showcases your core competencies and positions you to achieve your current career objectives. We gather critical information on your background, experiences, and objectives through a Client Questionnaire and in-depth phone consultation, taking the time to review your needs, concerns, and goals to ensure we craft a resume that exceeds your expectations. Whether you know exactly what you want to do, are changing careers, or are challenged to understand your core value offerings, your writer will work with you closely to define your objective and position your resume based on what you want to do in the next stage of your professional career. Perhaps just as important, is that all of the writers on the Ladybug Design team emulate Samantha’s caring and supportive approach that our clients say truly differentiates us from other firms. Your new resume will be both effective and aesthetically pleasing, provide keen insight into what you do best, and is sure to help them find you!

Additional Resume Target

Perhaps you're undecided as to the best approach to take with your resume? Or, you have interest in multiple types of positions? Our writers work with you to not only rewrite your existing resume, but also provide a second, or even third version of your resume that allows you to take different directions in your search. For example, if you are an Event Planner who is also highly skilled in Sales, you may prefer to have one resume targeted to Sales positions and another targeted to Event Planning opportunities. Select this service to take advantage of all career possibilities that fit you!

Cover Letter

A cover letter can be as effective and important as a resume in highlighting what you have to offer a potential employer. We will create an individualized letter that supports, not reiterates, the claims within your resume. Your cover letter will be created based on your defined career objective, and will highlight appropriate keywords and phrases to complement your resume.

Employment Search Portfolio

There is no stronger way to impact the job market and define the brand called you! We will design a custom portfolio including everything you need to make you stand out from the crowd. This service includes a strategically written resume, cover letter, and thank you letter, in addition to business card and mailing label or CD templates (please note that we will provide you with electronic files and you will purchase and print on the associated paper stock). Through our phone consultation, we will discuss design ideas, and develop a strong visual design representative of your background and current objectives. This is sure to elevate your job search to a higher level and present an impressive and highly effective message to a hiring manager.
