Jamie’s resume and cover letter expertise, as well as her indeliable job search prowess, were invaluable during my recent career move. After a decade working in music and entertainment I found myself wanting to transition into SaaS, but unsure where to start. Jamie gave me the coaching and confidence I needed to get going, and set me up with incredible templates that allowed me to apply to upwards of 15 positions per day. After a few weeks of persistant searching and applying - and with encouragement from Jamie every step of the way - I landed my dream job. I can’t reccomend her enough and can confidently say working with her changed my life!

I can’t recommend Jamie enough! When I first started my job search I didn’t know where to start and felt so nervous diving in the job market. But when I started working with Jamie and we started to tackle the areas I need slight improvements on, I immediately felt a sense of confidence that I would find the best roles that aligned with my resume and career goals. Jamie does a phenomenal job of working with you step by step from outlining your career goals, resume revamping and interview prep. She can do it all and definitely will cater to your specific needs. I can’t thank Jamie enough for all her help.

I came to Jamie with a unique - or at least I thought it was unique - challenge of creating 4 different resumes due to my varied work experience and interest in pursuing a few paths. She convinced me that 2 resumes made the most sense and then beautifully distilled all the work from my 15 year career across industries and verticals into succulent, clear documents that have landed me tons of interviews. She’s also been an amazing coach at how to approach outboud outreach and cover letters. Hire Jamie for your job search. You will not regret it.

Jamie took extra care and initiative to make sure she understood all the nuances of my career and the roles I’ve worked in for my applications. She made corrections that I wouldn’t have even thought of to ensure the language read nicely and was equally informative. I’ve since been accepted into my top choice role and I know this would’ve been a bigger reach for me without leveraging her writing skills and resume know-how."

The Secret Confessions of Recruiters
Ever wondered what happens to your resume after you hit submit?
I had my favorite NYC recruiters spill the tea. Most of them added vodka.
We spend less than 3 seconds looking at a resume while sifting through a pile, 30 seconds before a phone screen, and less than 3 minutes when reviewing it in final rounds.
A lot of times, we just look at a title, company, dates, and first bullet before moving on, so candidates should make their first bullet a strong, yet brief overview of their role.
If a resume is 2+ pages and you’ve been working less than a decade, we’ll throw it out. If we don’t like the format, we’ll delete it. If it’s unclear what you do, consider it tossed.
Most recruiters don’t properly utilize the back end of their ATS, so don’t get too fixated on stuffing keywords. Build your resume for a person, because that’s most likely who is reading it, albeit very quickly.
Adding a lot of color and design is distracting and conveys that the experience is not impressive enough on its own. If you want to highlight your creativity, build a portfolio.
Very few applicants directly message us or hiring manager after submitting their resume. Sending a quick note on LinkedIn isn’t annoying, it actually makes our job easier. We love a brief and creative LinkedIn DM slide!
Adding your desired title to your header is the easiest way to get into the initial “yes" pile. Personal or objective statements are just so 2005. No one read them then, and we certainly won’t ready them now.
Including a headshot on a resume that has nothing to do with your looks will make us not take you seriously, no matter how hot you are. Same goes for ‘cute’ layouts and too many icons.
We’re on the candidate’s team and want them to succeed — that’s what we’re hired to do! We’re often happy to debrief between rounds and guide them with two-sided transparency.
