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.
