"Another plane of quality!"

What a great experience this has been. Even though I had created my resume with all the right guidelines, I was still impressed with the transformation that has taken place. Aesthetics, formatting, and quality of writing were all improved. And let’s not forget my LinkedIn profile, which is on another plane of professionalism and quality. I definitely recommend AmpResume to gain a decisive career advantage.

"A decisive career advantage"

Darrin Issa - ABS Contractors

The Problem

Darrin is head of the Cost Control Department at his company, having been promoted to that position after just one year of service. Even though he is satisfied with his job and income, he decides to test the job market for new opportunities. To ensure he gets the best possible offers, Darrin decides to update his existing resume and LinkedIn profile.

The problem: His resume is not only out-of-date, but also severely under-sells his achievements (which are numerous).

  • His career summary is too short, and light on details.
  • He uses a functional resume format, but his career history is better suited to a reverse-chronological resume.
  • His skills section is too long. In most cases, you should aim for no more than 12 skills.
  • His work history section is empty, lacking both skills and achievements. This omission can be fatal.


Time and time again, we see a lack of clear achievements in our clients’ resumes. Achievements are doubly important for senior and executive-level positions; and even more so for department heads. Employers want to see how you have contributed to your company’s goals, enhanced operating efficiency, and facilitated revenue growth.

The Solution

Since Darrin has only ever worked in cost control throughout his career, we switch to a reverse-chronological resume format, allowing us to highlight his rapid rise up the corporate ladder to get the top job in his department after just 1 year of service. Additionally, Darrin has several cost-cutting accomplishments under his belt that needed to be included. At the same time, we removed many of the skills that were irrelevant to his career goals.

Darrin’s new LinkedIn profile uses an engaging tone to portray the various ways his job has helped him grow and learn valuable new skills. The work experience section goes into more detail than his resume about his professional accomplishments, exploring the “how” and the “why” to add a new layer of detail and complexity to his rich job history.

The Core Message

Darrin is an accomplished cost controller with a history of professional over-achievement and a background of saving money, enhancing efficiency and fiscally holding people to account.

The Result

After getting a few job offers and patiently weighing his options, Darrin now has more clarity as to his real market value – clarity which he then leverages to negotiate better pay. After interviewing for several promising positions and skillfully negotiating the terms of his package, Darrin finally accepts an exceptional offer with an upcoming company. He loves how quick and painless the resume writing process is, and feels more confident now that he can better articulate his skills and accomplishments to his peers.
