Client Testimonials:
"The resume Cheryl designed for me gave me the WOW factor I was looking for. Every recruiter & hiring manager that saw it complimented it. Best of all, though, it helped me land a great new job in less than 2 months - in the middle of the 2009 recession."
~ JD, Senior Sales Executive, Boston
"Cheryl Lynch Simpson possesses a wealth of knowledge and resources which she freely offers to clients in digestible doses. I am consistently impressed by the range of her experience and the depth of her career-related knowledge. She is a career expert in every sense of those words."
~ TL, Director of Human Resources, Netsmart Technologies
"Cheryl is an exceptionally warm and caring instructor with natural mentoring and leadership skills. She possesses the rare ability to effectively communicate complex concepts in simple ways without sacrificing her integrity or the dignity of her students."

"I had put off getting my resume rewritten for some time and finally decided to get it done. I was very impressed with your customer service and the fact that you took the time to call me to discuss my situation and concerns before you edited my resume. There's no question in my mind that the version you came up with will dramatically increase the chance of me landing the interviews I want. Thank you for the service, Cheryl. It was well worth the money."
~ M.O. Newark, NJ

~ BR, mid-career Finance Professional
My specialty is designing visually vibrant resumes that showcase your career brand & history of achievements. When I develop a resume, I craft it to not only WOW the human beings who will read it, but to earn interview-worthy grades from the applicant tracking systems most employers use these days. Without the latter, you'll never experience the former.
