Kelley Resumes & Wordsmithing

TL; DR: It's not ATS. It's your resume - and it isn't your fault. I have an (almost) foolproof method for fixing this; DM me or schedule an appointment to learn more. This is why you aren't getting interviews: The average resume (and job search strategy) was a best practice in the 1990s. Jobseekers don’t realize that what they’re picking up from random “internet experts” is this out of date, and even the best online tips don’t tell you HOW, for instance, to determine the right keywords for your resume. It's all too easy to point the finger at ATS; the true problem is that resume you wrote yourself or spent as little as possible on. It's common for me to hear "I'm applying to jobs I'm perfectly qualified for - I don't understand why I'm not getting interviews." When I look at the resume, the person is applying to director-level jobs with an entry-level resume. I work with people who are ready to make a strategic investment in their next role. My clients come from the private, federal, and military sectors and regularly get interviews with the very first draft of their new resume. Their new jobs often feature $+. I specialize in helping: • Transitioning military & federal professionals • Established professionals, along with managers, directors, and executives • People seeking career pivots and return-to-work situations • Neurodiverse job seekers My process has earned the highest recognition in the career industry and multiple award nominations for writing excellence. I'm certified in both resume writing and coaching—credentials that reflect results and commitment to you.
