I had a resume draft I thought couldn't be any better. But Melissa looked it over and found many ways to improve it. She streamlined wordy descriptions, and where job successes were unclear or even padded, she helped me identify and describe specific achievements. The text now conveys a sense of action rather than a boring catalog of duties.

Melissa has a fantastic sense of presentation and design. She overhauled the layout and improved its readability. My resume now has a great look that showcases the content. In terms of writing, organization, and design, this is by far the best resume I've ever had.
