I help retail leaders get more interviews and job offers (including many who have transitioned out)

I have worked as a professional resume writer in the retail industry since 2005, and in that time I have written literally thousands of resumes for department managers, sales managers, assistant store managers, store managers, general managers, area managers, and district managers in the United States and Canada - including many who have transitioned out of retail into new industries. (I only work with clients who have a background in retail management.) 

I have received more than 300 recommendations on LinkedIn from past clients. Here are just a few of their comments:
​

• ​Thank you for a resume that caught the attention of 3 out of the 4 jobs I sent it to on the first day! During the first phone interview I was asked if I had actually written the resume myself because it was “very impressive, well written, and stood out from the others in the way it was crafted”.

​

• ​I had my resume on a Wed afternoon. I released it Thursday at 9pm. And by Friday am had 2 interviews set up. Clear results. Hands down. Money WELL SPENT. Thanks again Mike. 

​​

• I received an eloquent resume back in less than 24 hours from Mike. I have already had two potential employers contact me. I can’t say “thank you” enough.

• Within hours of posting my new resume, I started seeing results. Within 3 days, I had 3 interviews set up. I cannot think of a better return on an investment in my career! Michael is fast and awesome to work with, leaving you with the best resume you will probably ever see.

 

• I already know it was worth every dollar as I have gotten several interviews much quicker then I ever did using my previous resume. My specialty is running high performing buildings and building high performing teams, Mikes by far is building high caliber retail resumes!!

 

• I have just begun my new career search and my new resume has gotten me interested parties and interviews immediately.

​

• Interviews within days of using my resume! I felt really confident that my resume told the story of my career and had a great response rate of getting interviews very quickly after sending. Highly recommended!!

​

• ​​Mike did a great job with my resume. I had 3 offers within the first week.

​

• I began to get calls immediately after posting the resume that Mike crafted for me and not just to sell insurance (I know we all get those). What most impressed me though was one call in particular. I applied for a job with my old resume. I didn't receive a call back or any contact at all. A month later, after posting the resume that Mike wrote, the same company called me to set up an interview because they found my resume on a job board. Same me, same experience, different resume. I can't thank Mike enough, his work is worth every penny.

 

• Within the first week I had a few inquiries and as each day passes my resume is getting more interest. This process was well worth it. I recommend Mike with no hesitation.

​

• ​WOW! What can I say.. I received my updated resume from Michael at 10:47 am this morning. By noon the same day I had an updated LinkenIn profile, at 2:00 pm that same afternoon I submitted my first job application and by 4:00 pm I had my first telephone interview. Now that's what I call results!

 

• Within the the first 2 days of posting my resume, I've had multiple job offers and have set up interviews!

 

• ​Working with Michael was a seamless process. He set very clear expectations around the deliverables for my resume and delivered. As a result I've had three job interviews in my latest job search.

 

• ​​The largest mistake I made in my job search was not using Michael day one. The process was amazing and not only made for an amazing resume but better prepared me for my interview process. I am wrapping up on my final offer and I believe that the resume helped get me in the door.

 

• Within the first two weeks, I landed two interviews with the two companies I have been trying to get into for years. 

 

• 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.

 

• Best decision I could have made!! Once I began sharing my new resume I was getting noticed and contacted by recruiters and companies. I was in a position where I was interviewing with 3 different companies and chose the right fit for me! Michael you were my golden ticket to the next step in my career and I want to say THANK YOU!!!

 

• ​I have had recruiters and career coaches contact me the first 2 weeks it was posted...

 

• ​I posted the resume Mike choreographed for me and I had 6 interview calls within 2 days ... one of them was within 3 hours after I re-posted my resume using “Mike’s” resume that he created for me. His communication and turn around time was amazing! It is well worth the investment!

 

• ​Michael's resume and service were both fantastic...I've gotten 4 offers before even applying anywhere...

 

• ​As I found out my store was closing after 20 plus years of service I reached out to Mike and he happily updated my resume. Results were amazing! He asks for a lot of input and it was work but so well worth it. It’s taken me a while to write this as I’ve been busy on interviews... even during this crazy time and a new offer from Macy’s to stay I’ve found a new job with a future company - Thanks Mike - best money ever spent.

 

• I am not aggressively looking and was just sending an updated resume to my network and have had two interviews in the last two weeks. Again I am beyond pleased with the results and the turnaround time of receiving my resume.

 

• ​Michael did a terrific job writing my resume. I had immediate responses from employers and a position within weeks. I highly recommend Michael.

 

• ​Michael did an amazing job with my resume. I was amazed at not only how quickly the turnaround time was, but how he was able to get my skill down in a way that made me a sought after recruit. I have to say the response has been amazing and I believe I have landed my next job!!!!

 

• I received the finished product and was more than pleased. I was able to share with companies right away and as a result within a day got a call from a recruiter of a company that I was targeting. Thank YOU Michael!

 

• ​Stop wondering if you should use Michael's service just do it. His work is impressive! It will get you results you want. I wish I had done it earlier. I immediately started getting results. Know that you will have to put some work in but he will work just as hard to get you a stand out resume.

 

• ​Shortly after updating the resume, I was receiving more calls and my interviews felt like the company was much more interested in what I could do for them...Recently, I received 3 offers at once and much of that had to do with getting my foot in the door with a well crafted resume...

 

• ​Mike created an amazing resume for me. His questionnaire was very thorough with thoughtful questions. I actually had an interview with the first company to which I sent it.

 

• ​I ended up landing a new career within two months and my family cannot be more happier for me. Thank you Michael.

 

• ​His extremely quick turnaround time was greatly appreciated! The best part? I got an interview with the first company to whom I sent my resume! I cannot recommend Mike Howard enough!

 

• ​My profile views increased several hundred percent for several weeks following receipt of Michael’s work.

 

• ​Michael did a amazing job at perfecting my resume. He took the time to explain the whole process to me. He asked very detailed questions and the outcome was perfect. I believe the whole process took about 5 days total. I am already getting emails about potential job offers!

 

• ​Michael Howard is the Rembrandt of resumes. 4 interviews in 3 weeks, and the opportunities keep coming. I cannot express how satisfied I am with the value of his services.

 

• ​Michael's work was awesome and I now have an incredible resume highlighting my skills and achievements that is already starting to open up some doors for me.

 

• ​Once I got my resume back, I started using it and within a week I was getting calls and interviews. I have just recently accepted a new position and am very excited to a new beginning.

 

• ​I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical at first, but what a difference in my resume. Coincidence or not, I had 10 hits in the first week. I was getting contacted daily about positions. I had an interview with a National Director of Sales who said "You're resume is very impressive". I got more than what I paid for.

 

• ​The response that I have received from recruiters, interviewers, colleges and friends after viewing my resume is, and I'm quoting..."WOW". If you invest the time to fill out his questionnaire, he will showcase your top accomplishments. Many of those accomplishments I either forgot about or was too modest to add myself. My only regret is that I didn't reach out to Mike 2 years earlier. I start my new career in two weeks, thank you Mike!

 

• ​Mike’s resume writing skills are nothing short of amazing. Within a month of receiving his finished work I landed an interview that led to a new job with a promotion and sizable pay increase. Reading my own resume that he wrote reminded me just how much I’ve accomplished and was almost a humbling experience.

 

• ​I have received numerous e-mails and phone calls already to set interviews. I have to say that working with Michael has been a tremendous boost to my career opportunities.

 

• ​This dynamic Resume opened many 'doors' and I was hired into an incredible Company within one month of the Resume being completed.

 

• ​Several months ago I made the investment in my career, hiring Michael to refresh my resume. Just having him use his lens on my path was gratifying enough and worth the investment! That being said it did lead to me landing the job of a lifetime! Thank you Michael!!!

 

• ​Upon my completion of the questionnaire he had my new resume to me within 24 hours. The new resume looks great and has resulted with numerous interviews scheduled.

 

• ​As a result of Michael's excellent resume writing skills, I received multiple contacts for interviews which resulted in several outstanding job offers. Great advice and he helped shed some light during some challenging times!

 

• ​He was very creative in his approach and I have received a ton of response from it. His service is well worth the investment for the results I got.
