How to get started

My specialty is designing visually vibrant resumes that showcase your career brand & history of achievements. When I develop a resume, I craft it to not only WOW the human beings who will read it, but to earn interview-worthy grades from the applicant tracking systems most employers use these days. Without the latter, you'll never experience the former.

Other highlights

Brand You Job Search Action Group:

  • 4-week action group by phone with unlimited email support for 1 month; Beta pricing available for first 25 enrollees
  • "I learned more from Cheryl in one 15-minute phone call tha I had from months of working with not-for-profit job search support professionals. She's an encyclopedia of "what to do if ..." tricks."
    "Cheryl's resume design suggestions turned my resume submission results from non-responsive to attention-getting. I had been failing to capture the attention of a key recruiter in my area for months; just one of her suggestions generated a personal solicitation from this recruiter the first time I used it. Abundantly well-worth my time."

Job Search Course:

  • Guerrilla Job Search in 30 Days or Less
  • "What an amazingly comprehensive course! I've been in the labor market for over 15 years, yet I had never heard of many of the techniques and facts presented in Cheryl's course. I found the job of my dreams within just a few weeks after struggling for over a year on my own."
  • "What I valued most about this course, even beyond its impressive content, was your hands-on, one-on-one support. I had access to my own Job Search Coach without having to pay expensive coaching fees."

Jou aling Course:

  • Introduction to Jou aling
  • "I adored this course and finished with an unexpected wealth of knowledge and tools not only relevant to jou aling but also for coping with life! I highly recommend this course with Cheryl Simpson to all writers and non-writers. Her teaching methods feel more like conversations with an old friend, rather than lesson plans. Thank you once again."
  • "I especially loved all the web site references and resources for more learning and fun. The content of this course was way over my expectations and I have so much yet to process and use again and again. The instructor's knowledge and skill is awesome and so complete. Great course!"
