I've worked exclusively with assistant store managers, store managers, and multi-unit managers for 20 years, crafting resumes that reflect the responsibilities, challenges, complexities, and accomplishments of retail leadership.
Over the last 20 years, I've written resumes for 3,000+ retail leaders across the United States and Canada and received 500+ written recommendations, including feedback from clients who secured more interviews, received multiple job offers, advanced their careers, earned significant salary increases, and transitioned to new fields.
I've also been recognized twice as a LinkedIn Top Voice.
Here are a few examples of the feedback I've received from clients:
I have been contacted for dozens of interviews and even received multiple job offers...this week I accepted a position with an amazing company that offered me a 40% increase over my current salary.
Store Manager, Nevada
Within the first two weeks, I landed two interviews with the two companies I have been trying to get into for years.
Store Manager, California
Mike changed my life 3 years ago. I legit make double my salary and it’s thanks to him. The company I work for would have never looked at my original resume. Thank you Mike a million times!!!
Area Manager, New York
Within 3 days, I had 3 interviews... I cannot think of a better return on an investment in my career!
Store Manager, Florida
The response that I have received from recruiters, interviewers, colleagues and friends after viewing my resume is, and I'm quoting..."WOW".
District Manager, California
Impressive is an understatement. I was able to secure employment at a company OF MY CHOOSING, that I specifically targeted, in a different industry.
General Manager, Georgia
I had applied to over 100 jobs in 7 months with not much luck. With the resume that Mike wrote, I submitted 20 some applications in 3 months, had 5 interviews and I just accepted a job that I’ve always dreamed of having!!
Assistant Store Manager, Ohio
I was scheduled for dozens of interviews within the month. I was offered a position with a great longstanding company that has great culture. Multiplied volume and 15% wage increase.
Store Manager, California
I posted my resume two days ago, and I already have two interviews. The morning after I posted it, I had voicemails that literally said "Your resume is FANTASTIC, please call us." This was definitely money well spent.
Store Manager, Ohio
I have interviewed in a few other industries outside of retail and I know this only happened because of the way he writes the resume. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND him and he is worth his price!!!
District Manager, California
