Crafting Optimized Résumés To Help You Land An Interview.  

Who We Are

Writing With A Flair was founded in 2014 on the premise that by focusing on crafting keyword-rich résumés and career marketing documents, we could showcase your qualifications, results, skills, and key strengths to match the requirements of a targeted industry or profession.  We have found the more effectively you can tailor or optimize your résumé keywords to be an exact match to what is found in a job description will increase your interview opportunities and chances your résumé will be seen by a recruiter or hiring manager.  Also, add variations of keywords to account for recruiter searches.  Focus on creating a resume that clearly conveys your most important, recent, and relevant experiences to the reader.  Click here to see other résumé tips.

Delivering exceptional service starts from within the company; and having a knowledgeable, supportive, and engaging certified résumé writer that lives up to the standards established by the PARW/CC, a group that requires testing before one can become a Certified Professional Résumé Writer (CPRW).

As Senior Writer, Margo holds an Executive M.B.A. from George Mason University, a Master’s degree in Public Administration from the University of Oklahoma, and completed a comprehensive six-month senior executive leadership program from Georgetown University in Washington, DC.  She has 15+ years experience in crafting résumés and is a certified résumé writer accredited by the PARW/CC.  Margo is a LinkedIn profile writer accredited by the NRWA, a group that requires annual training and testing to show expertise in crafting engaging, conversational, and value-based profiles before one can become a National Certified Online LinkedIn Profile Expert (NCOPE).  She received recognition from the NRWA for her résumé writing responses that were published on the Ask the Experts blog.

At Writing With A Flair, we have taken résumé development best practices and infused it with a results-focused approach.  ​Today, over 98% of Fortune 500 companies use Applicant Tracking System (ATS) portals to analyze and scan applications, résumés, and CVs to rank and filter best-suited applicants for the vacancy criteria they are seeking to fill.  From students or entry-level jobseekers to mid-level professionals seeking a career change or promotion, to military service members transitioning to the public or private sector, to executives or senior leaders seeking to refine accomplishment-focused résumés, we can create you an optimized résumé that gets results.  When companies do not have an automated scoring system, recruiters tend to skim resumes in a matter of seconds.  Ensure your top skills, qualifications, and keywords are displayed prominently.  Click here to see what clients are saying about our services, résumé content, and design.
