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 leads the HR department of a large multinational corporation. While not specifically looking to change careers, Darrin nevertheless wanted to polish his CV and LinkedIn profile, dip his toe into the job market, and explore new job offers.
These kinds of “feelers” can be GREAT for your career, if only because they give you a clearer picture of what your market worth is. If anything, you can use these job offers to negotiate even better pay at your current job.
The Problem: Darrin's existing CV sold him short.
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 initiate instant contact.
We switch to a reverse-chronological CV, 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 continuous education. Complementing his new CV is a meticulous cover letter that summarizes all his achievements convincingly.
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 who was destined for a senior position in Human Resources. 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.
The Core Message
Darrin is an authority in labor management who instills confidence, empowers workers, and motivates the people under his leadership.
The Result
With his career material completely transformed, Darrin has noted that every time he applies for a position, he almost always gets called in for an interview. Darrin loves the feeling of job security this entails. He feels this has increased his bargaining leverage with his current employer. With this new sense of empowerment, he asked for – and received – a 10% raise to his annual income.
