CAREER TIP

Companies are not interested in what your objectives are. They want to know within ten seconds or less if your resume and cover letter are worth the time to review. Make sure you grab their attention with energetic, concise, and value-added statements.

Pat began her professional career as a marketing communications for industry leaders in the publishing, retail, technology, and engineering arenas.

In the late 1990s, Pat decided to take her career in a different direction to promote the strengths and messages of people because people are more multi-dimensional than inanimate objects.

Since making the full-time commitment to develop strategic marketing material for people, Pat has earned several resume industry credentials, including the prestigious Master Career Director (MCD), which is awarded to veteran career professionals with the vision, tools and motivation to guide clients to repeated success; Certified Expert Resume Writer (CERW); Master Military Resume Writer (MMRW); and Certified Federal Resume Writer (CFRW).

Pat has also earned several prestigious coaching credentials such as the Certified Professional-Online Job Search and Reputation Management (CP-OJSRM); Certified Web Portfolio Practitioner (CWPP); Certified Employment Interview Consultant (CEIC), and Master Federal Career Coach (MFCC). 

As a co-author of the MFCC credential program materials, Pat is also a certified trainer, holding the Master Federal Career Coach Trainer (MFCC/T) credential.

Pat's goal is to provide personal, affordable, and expert career advice. She has prepared resumes for nearly every career imaginable, including IT, sales, and professional athlete/coach. She is committed to providing you with the highest quality of service and expertise to help you reach your goals.
