I was amazed at how outstanding my resume now appears compared to my weak initial version. The final version is packed with action-oriented phrases and information that really makes me shine. Deirdre, you are a pleasure to work with. You clearly state what you will do, deliver exactly as promised, and are highly responsive to feedback. I appreciate that we were able to email back and forth and then follow up with live phone calls to discuss and clarify issues. I stumbled on you and your service on the web, and I figured at worst I might waste or lose a few hundred dollars. I am glad I accepted that risk because what I received instead is a polished, professional document that I could never have developed on my own.

— Peter P., Security Training Exec.

Deirdre, it was wonderful working with you. I will DEFINITELY be recommending you to people. Thank you so much for the amazing work. I truly appreciate it. Amazed with the result! Looks so professional, the "wordsmithing" of basic tasks was great. The formatting, the layout all of it is incredibly impressive and I am beyond happy with results! As much as I hate this process, Deirdre made it simple. I did not need to think twice about it, our initial phone call she knew exactly what to ask to gather the right questions. She completely understood my job and the different responsibilities.

Deirdre was recommended to me by a friend as I started to look for a new position. She was a pleasure to work with and her writing skills helped me find the job I was looking for very quickly.

Highly recommend!

I feel empowered and confident that my resume and cover letter clearly articulated my value, abilities, and work experience. Throughout the process, Deirdre was professional, patient, punctual, flexible, and worked with a high sense of urgency. She also provided excellent guidance and recommendations.

— Silvia Y., VP Operational Excellence

I couldn't be happier with the services provided by Deirdre at Composed Career. She is extremely thorough and detailed oriented and created a professional resume for me that captured the work I've done. She also helped me understand the importance of LinkedIn and how to use it effectively to showcase my expertise. I highly recommend Deirdre and her services.

— Brenda T., Director Nonprofit

It had been nearly a decade since my last job search and I had a lot of anxiety, but I knew it was time for a change. Deirdre was instrumental in helping me shake the dust off my antiquated résumé—she helped me focus on translatable skills and brought me up to speed on ever-evolving HR practices. She gave me the insight and the confidence I needed to get back out there, and within weeks I had booked an interview. Without Deirdre I would still be sitting on the fence, too intimidated to give it a try.

— Chris H., Editor

Deirdre was so easy to work with and made the whole process very painless. I worked with her on my resume, which was 10 years old, and my LinkedIn profile. My resume got a much-needed facelift, the layout was modern and full of information. To this day I still get compliments from prospective employers on the layout and content. With the content that Deirdre gave me for my LinkedIn profile, I was able to create a profile that was both informative and substantial. The end result was just what I was looking for. I would absolutely recommend her, which I have numerous times.

— Keiko K., Production Manager

I have not had to look for a full-time position since 2006. My part-time position as an Adjunct Professor has me teaching resume writing to college students. Because of this, I figured when I started looking for a full-time position again, I would not have any issue. Months and months of complete silence later, I realized I was completely wrong and needed some help after all. I contacted Deirdre upon the recommendation of many people on Facebook and am glad I did. Deirdre's process helped me focus on what I considered to be my strengths and successes. But more importantly, she helped me understand where I truly wanted to be - what I wanted to be doing, where I wanted to work. Her process also helped me immensely during face to face interviews. She has a wonderful way with words that both make your experience come to life AND work well within any HR recruiting system. After working with Deirdre and having her rewrite my resume, I had two job offers within six weeks after six+ months of searching! I am now gainfully and happily employed and am grateful for Deirdre's help.

— Kristin W., Marketing Manager

I was out of the workplace for 11 years (SAHM) when I engaged Deirdre to rewrite my outdated resume. Not an easy feat, but Deirdre was able to build upon my volunteer, school and community experience to highlight my relevant and transferrable skills and drew on my accomplishments which I had underplayed. She is professional, friendly, astute and a great listener. I found her intake questionnaire to be thought-provoking and it gave me the opportunity to market myself perfectly. The resulting resume gave me a great sense of pride and I was hired quickly! I truly enjoyed working with Deirdre and highly recommend her services, a smart career investment.

— ERIN D. , Executive Assistant

Deirdre was recommended to me through a private Facebook group. I was looking for a professional to revamp my resume and LinkedIn profile. When we had our first consultation call (before she provided a quote), I knew I had found the right person. She is very detailed, professional and client focused. I thoroughly enjoyed working with her and she had great vision for how to communicate my accomplishments. I would highly recommend Deirdre. You will not be disappointed!

— HEATHER B., DIRECTOR MARKETING

Deirdre did an exceptional job of crafting my resume basically from scratch incorporating over 20 years of work experience and professional achievements. From a face-to-face meeting and a handful of emails, she transformed my words into a detailed yet succinct professional document that is worthy of a high-performing Sales Exec. It is sharp, polished, and communicates my professional strengths, work experience, and qualifications in a manner I could not have achieved. She was a pleasure to work with. Employing Deirdre’s resume services was a smart career investment and I highly recommend her should you wish to advance your career.

— conrad k., VP SALES

I normally don’t write referral or recommendations, but this time will be an exception from my normal practice. I was referred to Deirdre from two of my co-workers who had resumes completed by her. I needed a curriculum vitae (CV) done for some positions and functions that I was applying too. Being tech-savvy, I look for apps, and other program to create this on my own, but decided that I would need a professional to polish and to make it shine through other applicants. Deirdre was responsive to all my email, texts, and calls while completing this larger task that included multiple jobs, certifications, and concurrent time frames. Deirdre went the extra mile in making sure every was perfect and also help with suggestion on optimizing my LinkedIn profile. I actually recommend Deirdre to a co-worker during this process and like me, he is also impressed by her professionalism.

— Tim t., PARAMEDIC/CLI/RN

FANTASTIC PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE WITH DEIRDRE. I was looking for someone to help me with a new resume and I got that and so more from Deirdre. Losing your job can be a difficult time. for me it was a cross roads and an opportunity to evaluate "is my former occupation what I really want to be doing for the next 10 years" Deirdre was a coach, a therapist, a social media guru and a resume writer for me. She helped me create different resumes for different career paths I was considering. Her social media savvy helped me get the resume noticed in key word searches which led to multiple interviews and ultimately a job and career I love. I hope to never need services again however if I find myself unemployed, I wouldn't hesitate to call on her expertise again.

— JOHN M., EQUITY PRODUCT MANAGER

I engaged Deirdre to assist in reconstructing my resume which was a challenge due to my dual expertise in corporate finance and medical device research. The end-result was not only a remarkably professional career document but also a highly effective one; I landed a desired position as a CFO. Deirdre, walked me through her skilled strategy, discussing my career objectives and professional accomplishments with in-depth and introspective questions. She was detailed and methodical and clearly has astute insight into what makes a powerful resume. My resume now reads like an accomplished career story, it is eye-catching, effectively highlights my skills, and the distinguishing qualities I bring to the table. She packed a lot into 2 pages! My only regret is that I did not realize the value of hiring a professional resume writer sooner, I highly recommend her resume services.

— matthew k. FINANCIAL CONTROLLER

I am very happy with the result. It definitely summed up my past talents and highlighted my accomplishments. It was a pleasure working with Deirdre. She was able to understand my needs and was able to put it all together with very minimal discussions. She was also very responsive, I definitely recommend her services.

— KAREN G., PROJECT MANAGER

I had the pleasure of working with Deirdre when she reworked my resume a few months ago. She is fantastic! From start to finish, Deirdre was responsive, communicative, and insightful. My resume now reads like a wonderful highlight reel versus the typical soundbites that usually keep a resume lost in a pile. I have since recommended Deirdre to a number of friends.

— JENNIFER J., FINANCIAL ACCOUNTANT

Deirdre did a fantastic job recreating my resume as well as updating/improving my LinkedIn profile. She is wonderful to work with, very responsive and thorough. After receiving the draft of my resume I couldn’t believe it was me I was reading about. Deirdre has a definite talent in pulling all the important details together to make a person stand out to potential employers.

— marybeth r., CLIENT ENGAGEMENT MANAGER

Deirdre was amazing to work with in all aspects. She did a wonderful job revamping my resume from clinical nursing to corporate friendly. She worked quickly and professionally even through her vacation, with great results! She continues to check in with me and has also helped with leads on possible prospects! She is one of a kind! I highly recommend!

— jennifer z., NURSE COORDINATOR

I have been working with Deirdre to rework my resume and she has been PHENOMENAL! She is thorough and detail-oriented and just awesome to work with. The finished product is an incredible improvement over my "homemade" resume. She has been able to take a lot of information and make it look professional, streamlined and attractive. I cannot recommend her more! It was a pleasure to work with her!

— alison m., TRAINING MANAGER

Deirdre is OUTSTANDING at what she does! She was so kind, thorough, professional and efficient. When I received my resume I couldn’t believe the person I was reading about was me! She does a wonderful job of taking all of the little (but important) details that go into a job and making them stand out in a way that makes potential employers really see you. I cannot recommend her services enough!

— cali c., OFFICE ADMINISTRATOR

Deirdre takes the time to get to know her clients, does her research on the types of jobs each client is trying to attract, and then carefully crafts a resume that will get her clients noticed by hiring managers. There is truly an art to how she works with a resume to finesse the language and format so that it can get attention in today's online application process. With all the competition for good jobs these days, a well-crafted resume has never been more important. I've worked in marketing for years and couldn't market myself this well! Many thanks, Deirdre!

— melissa c., DIRECTOR MARKETING

Love my new resume!! I didn't have a resume, so Deidre had to start from scratch. She took the information from my questionnaire and our conversations and put together a resume that really reflected my skills (that I didn't know I had) gave value to projects I had done at my son's school and the part-time jobs I have had over the years. Deidre provided me with a professional and modern looking document.

— laura k., LIBRARIAN

My overall impression when I received my resume was amazement! My resume was wonderful, and I am so excited to start sending it out. I needed my resume in such short notice and Composed Career came through for me in such a hectic time in my life. I had just lost my job and wanted to start applying right away. Deirdre was a blessing to work with, I would recommend her to anyone!

— rachel r., PHARMACEUTICAL SALES
