About Sharp Career Image
Imagine the hiring world as a crowded trade show. Resumes sit in every booth repeating the same safe phrases. Busy recruiters nod politely and keep walking. Your story deserves more than a passing glance and I know that feeling from every seat in the arena.
For nearly fifteen years I have been the resume writer and job search partner professionals call when they need fresh momentum. Before launching Sharp Career Image, I hired engineers, built creative and administrative teams for growing businesses, and strengthened operations for global corporations by working closely with managers, cross‑department stakeholders, and executives.
I recruited, interviewed, and trained team members, guiding them until they were ready to excel on their own. I have sifted through stacks of resumes, led the conversations across the interview table, and stood on the other side after a layoff wondering what came next. Because I have been the recruiter, the hiring manager, and the candidate making a career pivot, I know the pressures that shape each decision.
How We Turn Job‑Search Frustration Into Interview Wins
Human Resources DNA
Time spent as a recruiter and corporate hiring manager taught me what hiring managers want to see and what gets lost in the shuffle. I bring that insider lens to every project so you sidestep common dead ends and land in the yes pile.
Marketing and Sales Thinking
A resume is a sales page. A LinkedIn profile is a twenty‑four hour storefront. My background in revenue roles means your materials speak the language of value and results. Every line invites the reader to picture you lifting their goals.
Technology Fluency
Applicant tracking systems filter the stack long before a human takes a look. I build resumes with keywords placed on purpose and with layouts that slide through software checkpoints yet still read like a good story once a person opens the file. Because I submit applications on behalf of many clients, I face the same gauntlets you do: quirky portals, word count limits, and the silence that follows. Each submission becomes a live test, and the results feed directly into the next draft.
I carry a coder’s heart thanks to my years leading software teams and serving as a software product manager, so I can read complex systems, spot their glitches, and keep working until the path is clear.
