Hi, I’m Nico
RESUME WRITER, CAREER BRANDING SPECIALIST & LAYOUT DESIGNER
I don’t do cookie-cutter. I don’t do “responsible for” bullets. I do resumes that read like branding campaigns – sharp writing, clean design, and strategy that makes recruiters stop scrolling.
Since 2012, I’ve helped 1,500+ professionals claim their edge, show up with confidence, and land the jobs (and salaries) they thought were out of reach. If you’re looking for different, you’ve found it.
YOU ARE A UNIQUE BRAND WE NEED TO MARKET.
This resume writing strategy is different.
And it WORKS.
Like most resume services, my approach leverages impact-heavy content, ATS-optimization, and storytelling. But that alone will only get you so far. The job market in 2026 is volatile, competitive, and full of noise. To stand out and get ahead, you have to show up differently. Cookie-cutter won’t cut it because no one else has your exact skills, experience, or story.
That’s why my strategy uses four elements most resume writers overlook ↓
BRAND STRATEGY
What makes you stand out from everyone else?
MARKETING
Is your resume positioned to win in today’s market?
COPYWRITING
Do your words sell your impact, not just list duties?
UX & DESIGN
Does the formatting guide the eye and increase readability?
Frequently Asked Questions
They’re the questions clients actually ask me and the truths that make the difference between sending reumes into a void and landing interviews.
-
Yes. Every resume I create is built to pass Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) while still being compelling for human readers. I use clean formatting, the right keywords, and modern structure. This balance ensures recruiters and hiring managers see your value quickly.
-
Most professionals need a one- or two-page resume depending on career stage. Entry-level and mid-career candidates usually fit on one page, while executives, senior leaders, and career changers benefit from two. What matters most isn’t length, but clarity, keywords, and tailoring your story to the jobs you’re targeting.
-
Very. In 2025, nearly every recruiter and hiring manager checks LinkedIn before reaching out. An outdated or empty profile can cost you opportunities, even with a strong resume. I optimize your headline, About section, experience, and skills so your profile is keyword-rich, aligned with your resume, and ready to attract the right roles.
-
My process works for every field and career level, but I specialize in creatives, UX and product designers, marketers, communication leaders, and career-pivoters. These groups are often overlooked by traditional resume writers who try to force them into a box. I focus on capturing the range of your skills and story in a way that makes sense to both ATS systems and human readers, no matter how non-linear your background may look on paper.
-
Once you submit the intake form with your current resume, target roles, career impacts, branding questionnaire, and payment, I deliver your first draft in just 2 business days. If you schedule the optional kickoff call, your 2-day turnaround begins right after our call. This applies to both resumes and LinkedIn profiles, so you can refresh your career brand quickly without waiting weeks.
-
No ethical resume writer can promise a specific job offer—but I can share this: I have a 100% track record of clients landing interviews after working with me. My clients consistently report faster interview requests, fewer ghosted applications, more recruiter outreach on LinkedIn, and better offers. A strategic, well-positioned career brand changes the entire job search experience.
-
Today’s resumes aren’t just summaries of every job you’ve ever held — they’re strategicmarketingdocuments. ATS/AI screeners and human recruiters all scan them differently, which means outdated formats or generic phrasing won’t cut it. I specialize in translating your experience into a clear, compelling career story that’s aligned with your goals, packed with the right keywords, and optimized to get past applicant tracking systems. Hiring a resume writer will give you a resume and LinkedIn profile that stands out to both humans and AI, get noticed faster, and land interviews.

Choosing you to help me was the best thing I could have ever done. I just had NO confidence in so many areas. Once I started trusting myself, things fell into place."
