I Work Directly With My Clients, Always

If the owner of the company isn’t writing your resume, then who is? Unlike some ‘big box’ resume factories that use the owner as nothing more than a figurehead to attract business, I do not outsource your resume writing to anonymous ghost writers, low-wage overseas contractors, or office juniors with little real world experience. You will partner directly with me and will be able to leverage my hard-won expertise for your resume project. There are many ‘big box’ resume writing services in Calgary, however if you’re looking for high-level expertise and the personal touch, we could be a good match.

International Acclaim.

I am Canada’s first Certified Master Resume Writer and the first resume writer in Canada invited to join the prestigious Forbes Coaches Council. I have also won multiple resume writing awards from Career Directors International in the ‘Best Executive Resume’ category. I also regularly work with clients in the US & UK.

Media Contributor & Industry Expert.

I have featured in radio/print media including CBC and Forbes.com, and my resume samples were hand-picked by the President of CDI for inclusion in the 7th & 8th Editions of ‘Resumes for Dummies‘.  Journalists in Canada, the US, UK and other English speaking countries search out my thoughts on resumes, job search and professional career planning.

Target Career Success With Help From An Experienced Headhunter & Recruitment Consultant.

When you engage me to write your resume, you will benefit from my hard-won expertise in the domestic and international recruiting world where I led search assignments for major Fortune 500 companies on two continents, including Shell, Chevron, Encana Corporation, Teck, Fluor, IBM, Motorola, HSBC, Deutsche Bank, British Red Cross, and many more.

I acquired insight into how they recruit and what they look for in an applicant.  I know what you’re doing wrong with your resume.  I have reviewed over 40,000 resumes and interviewed over 6,000 people over the course of my career.  Leverage my hard-won, real-world business experience developed in the recruitment consulting and executive recruiting trenches to give you the edge you deserve with your Calgary resume project.

Choose Wisely. 

What matters most to you at this point?  Getting it done cheap, or getting it done right? Yes, there are cheaper options and yes, I can only take on a certain number of clients per month.  If cheap, quick, and readily available is what you need, there are plenty of people ready to send your project overseas, hand it to a ‘trainee’, or someone with no certifications or understanding of the recruiting world and best ways to market a skill set.  If you can see the value in what I bring to your project, I’d like to work with you.

reviews from people I helped with their job search

  • “1 hour. That’s how long it took from the time I received my resume from Ken to the time the recruiter for the position I was most interested in called.

    Had a chat with her, she recommended me to the client and I got the job!

    Take the rest of the day off. You’ve earned it! “

    Sam B

    Ken helped me focus on what was important and made me more aware of myself and my unconscious little blunders, so I could correct them.

    He is friendly and funny, and full of constructive criticism.

    I was the successful candidate for the job he helped me prepare for, which is my ultimate dream job!

    Thank you Ken!”

    Kim, Head Children’s Librarian

    His work is definitely worth every penny.”

    Argi Ahmadi
