About Me:
I’m Julie Walraven and as a Certified Professional Resume Writer (CPRW), I am one of the career industry’s leading experts in the development of strategic resumes.

I write your resume using my unique, interactive live-writing process to quiz you on your accomplishments and teach you the latest job search strategies so you can get back to work quicker, change to a new position, or grab that promotion you want.

Job search is more challenging than ever before in history. In fact, many call this the worst economic climate in 80 years.Yet throughout this recession, my clients from throughout the United State and around the globe have been getting interviews and are offered new positions in companies and jobs they love.

Are you Deadline Driven?

[Photo by Woodley Wonderworks]Think in resume-speakPerhaps after 20+ years in the resume writing and career industry, I have come to think in resume-speak more often than not.I make my to-do lists using action verbs: create, write, prepare, or review. I haven't found ways to weave ignite, rejuvenate, revitalize, spearhead, or champion into my to-do list. I will confess, however, one of my daily repeat reminder items is "Manage laundry."

Are you targeting an outdated or overcrowded career path?

["Photo by mysza831"]



Changing your career path or making a career move is a lot like the game of chess. The questions I get asked regularly is where do I find a job in my field? and next, should I go back to school and what to study?



To answer this question, we need to examine both the individual and the marketplace:

How To Never Miss Your Next Big Job Opportunity

Opportunities are all around us.
