Our Services

Our Advice

If you are in the technology field, NEVER use the services of a standard resume-writing service
  • Most of these services will ruin your resume because don't understand what motivates technology managers to interview a candidate
  • Most services will actually hurt your chances - they just "dumb-down" your resume, and most ex-recruiters aren't any better

It's your career - you need the best. You need a career and resume coach with a serious career in technology and management followed by a successful recruiting practice

BE VERY CAREFUL about following the advice of a resume and job-search guide that you found in a bookstore

  • Most are written by authors with no technical background and no understanding of the technology hiring and resume-differentiation process
  • Most technology resumes have glaring problems and an inappropriate level of detail
  • The technology job-search can be treated as a science - if you know what to do

You need the right kind of help.  Many candidates that leverage our services generate more interviews and potentially higher salaries

Testimonials


"Jon was a great resource in helping me with my resume.  He used his experience as an engineer and as a manager to take my brief technical resume and emphasize my strong areas even better which landed me interviews.  After some time discussing my experience he made valuable suggestions which brought out important details I was unaware of.  Until now I had used other professional friends for advice, but I can see now there is no replacement for the resume advice Jon delivered in regards to my field."

- M.M., telecommunications systems engineer (BSEE Purdue University)

"Spending 45 minutes interviewing with Jon French was most important 45 minutes I have spend in my job search.  Jon re-wrote my resume they way hiring manager and a recruiter want to see in a resume. He used all of his professional experiences and thought into re-writing my resume. It is about time someone highly experience in technical field like Jon French start this type of professional service. I appreciate his help and highly recommend his service"
