It is not necessary to have a current resume to get started; although if you have some job descriptions of the types of roles you are interested in, we’d like to see them!

If you do have a current (or old) resume and/or some job descriptions of the types of roles you would like to initially target, we would very much like to see both. You can upload them to the Resume Upload Page or you can e-mail them directly to your Certified Professional Resume Writer writer when he or she emails you to schedule the initial Resume/LinkedIn Strategy Session.
