While I’ve spent my entire career vetting and hiring people, I never once imagined that I would need professional help to move my own career forward. When I received my finished product from Ampresume, I was blown away. A total and remarkable transformation if I ever saw one! I can’t thank you guys enough.
Darrin Williams, Jacobs
Darrin is a human resources veteran who heads the HR department of a multinational corporation. While not specifically looking for a career change, Darrin nevertheless wanted to polish his resume and LinkedIn profile, dip his toe into the job market, and explore new job offers.

At the senior management level, recruiters will want to see a list of real contributions, in addition to a history of adding value. Frame your work history as a series of increasingly notable achievements, and you inspire them to make instant contact.
We switch to a reverse-chronological resume, summarize his duties for each job, and complement with 3-6 achievement-based bullet points. The narrative presented is that of a hard-working and ambitious professional who progressively climbed the ladder of success through skill, determination and ongoing professional development. Complementing his new resume is a meticulous cover letter that persuasively summarizes his key achievements.
As is customary with our LinkedIn profiles, we use a conversational tone to Darrin’s “about” section, presenting an inspired narrative of a natural leader whose qualities, experience and expertise make him an ideal fit for a high-level, strategic HR position. We take inspiration from his questionnaire to ensure the tone and content complement his personal brand – and finish with a distinctive cover image with unique branding statement.
