Writing With A Flair was founded in 2014 on the premise that by crafting keyword-rich résumés and career documents with the most relevant experiences and career achievements, we could showcase your qualifications, skills, and strengths to match vacancy criteria of a targeted industry or profession. In today's competitive environment, we have found that hiring managers are not reading entire résumés on first pass. They scan over it for specific job titles, skills, employment dates, keywords, and metrics that line up with the position they are seeking to fill.
As company owner, Margo holds an Executive MBA from George Mason University and a master’s degree in public administration from University of Oklahoma.

She captures experiences for college students seeking a new career to entry- to mid-level professionals seeking a career change or promotion, to military service members transitioning to public or private sectors.
​
As a certified LinkedIn Profile writer accredited by the National Résumé Writers Association (NRWA), she has experience and training in highlighting conversational and valued-based profiles in LinkedIn’s social media platform used by recruiters to find and vet talent, and employers listing jobs. She also received recognition from the NRWA for résumé writing best practices published on Ask the Experts blog.
