Lacking confidence in your job search? Struggling to prepare for interviews? Perhaps I can help...

As a professional resume writer, I've created resumes for thousands of retail leaders from across the United States and Canada since 2005. (I work exclusively with field leaders such as department managers, sales managers, assistant store managers, store managers, and area/district/regional managers - including many who are looking to transition to a new industry.)

Over the years I've received 400+ written recommendations from clients for my LinkedIn profile, and many have commented on how much more confidence they have now that they've been through the information-gathering process and have a sparkling new resume. Many have also been surprised and delighted at how the process has helped them prepare for interviews.

Here are a few of their comments:

• I understand more than ever the power of a well written resume. I went from tentative to well assured. The worksheet alone was an enlightening process and a fantastic preparation for interviews. This was for me a minimal investment with impactful outcome. Michael's professionalism and effective service is the best ally for job seekers. I would also urge anyone currently in a position to request Michael's services as it will build confidence and open a world of possibilities.

 

• Mike took my experience and accomplishments and brought them to life. Having him write my resume was such a great investment because it gave me the confidence to reach out to recruiters, which helped me land my current position! Thank you Mike!

• Using my answers to a thorough list of questions, Mike quickly provided me with two pages of metrics and achievements that made ME stop and realize how valuable I am. This resume gave me confidence that I was presenting my best self to the ATS computers and the decision-makers alike.
  

 

• His questionnaire about my previous experience was very thought provoking and a valuable tool in this process as well as preparing for interviews. I have had more interviews this last month since Mike helped with my resume than I had since I started this process.

• Mike did an amazing job with my resume! The questionnaire is detailed and tailored perfectly to my retail career. Mike was quick to respond to questions I had. My resume was fantastic and made me feel more confident when it came time to interview. I would definitely choose Mike again!

• Working with Michael was an Amazing Experience from start to finish! He was always honest, prompt and extremely clear in his communication. He was easy to work with and always delivered what he promised. I appreciate that he also offers job seeking advice and resources. The money spent for his services is a worthwhile investment. I have a new level of confidence for my job search thanks to Michael.

 

• One of my mentor's highly recommended Mike's services and I was not disappointed. Mike was extremely detailed and focused around my accomplishments in my different roles. It wasn't the usual boring job description that I have used in the past. Not only was I impressed with the outcome of my resume, but I instantly became more confident in myself and my job search after reading all my accomplishments.

  

• ​Mike gave me back the confidence I was lacking in my skills and accomplishments with the resume he created for me. His method is extremely detailed and the results are 100% worth it. I’m finally feeling reinvigorated to continue my job search. I couldn’t recommend Mike’s services enough.

 

• I would definitely recommend Mike Howard to write your resume! His process is very straight forward and helps to truly highlight your accomplishments! When I received the final copy of my resume, all I could say was WOW!!! I was so impressed! The way Mike integrated LinkedIn recommendations was creative. The questionnaire he has you complete is very inquisitive and thorough, which helps to convey the depth of my experience. I really like how my resume now highlights my accomplishments and successes. I am more confident when submitting my resume as it stands out and truly reflects my leadership experience.

 

• I was truly impressed with his approach to acquiring the information he needed to write a world class resume. Not only did it provide him with the details of my work history but it also prepared me for promoting myself and my accomplishments and building my self confidence. Asking for Michael's help was a very good investment in my career.

• It took some time to really dig up all the information he was looking for, but it helped me be better equipped to talk through my background with a renewed confidence. I now have a resume that is already opening doors as well as strong talking points to support me in having more meaningful and engaging interview conversations. I highly recommend his resume services for any retail executive looking to make a move, either into a new role within retail or perhaps wanting to shift their skillset into a new industry altogether.

 

• Mike was very extraordinary. He was able to take all the information of my career and word it in a way where it can showcase my accomplishments and my talents as a leader. Thank you Mike for the extensive questionnaire and the beautiful resume that helped me feel confident going back out in the career search.

  

• His questionnaire was very detailed and made me realize many things that I had overlooked, which certainly will help on interviews or any other time I need to speak to past accomplishments. Within 24 hours of completion, I received back an amazing product that portrayed my work in the best light. The entire process was incredible, as he took time to learn about me and I never felt like a number. Michael's degree of professionalism and punctuality is second to none and I would gladly recommend him to anybody who wants to take their resume to the next level. I will use Michael for my resume going forward, as he clearly cares and shows it in his work. Truly world class, thank you!

 

• Michael is very good at what he does. I feel confident now that my resume is the best it can be for my job search. I highly recommend Michael as the service he provides is WELL worth the small fee and he is great to work with.

​

• Mike's resume writing services are top notch and he was an amazing person to work with. The resume he created for me is amazing and his introspective resume writing process helped me tremendously during interviews. I am 100% satisfied with his work and I am proud to be another one of his happy clients. If you are a retail leader looking to improve or get tips on your resume, look no further than Mike. He is the best.

 

• I am thoroughly pleased with the professional services Michael provided me in writing my retail district manager resume. The questionnaire is daunting but once you've completed it you’re reunited with your own accomplishments and can better speak to your own strengths on interviews. His turn around time is incredibly fast --I received mine the very next day-- and the final result delivered a very clear, visually-friendly, fact-not-fluff-based account of my working history and accomplishments that I was proud to have my name on. This new resume he’s provided me is a cut above what I was sending out prior to hiring him and his guidance has been invaluable.

 

• His attention to detail and ability to produce impressive results in a timely manner will leave you with a sense of confidence that you will advance in your career. I highly recommend Michael if you are looking for someone to present you as the best of the best. I am looking forward to furthering my career with the resume Michael has created.

 

• 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 recommend this to everyone in retail that is looking, or thinking about looking, for their next stop. I am wrapping up on my final offer and I believe that the resume helped get me in the door.
