Does creating a résumé stress you out?
If you're not sure how to do it, writing or rewriting a résumé can be really frustrating.
So let me ask you…
>> Has it been a while since you had to update a résumé?
>> Are you confused about what to include or how to write it?
>> Are you overwhelmed by all the résumé advice out there?
>> Not sure who to trust or which advice is the right advice?
Not having the kind of résumé that gets you noticed by employers and recruiters for interviews can be very frustrating.
But I have some good news to share with you…
You don't need to pay hundreds of dollars for someone to create a generic résumé for you.
With the Mid-Career Résumé Strategies Guide, you’ll have the information and skills to do it on your own with confidence for $37.
If it’s not done right,
a poorly written résumé…
• Can make you question your career experiences.
• Could keep you continually frustrated in your career.
• Makes it difficult or even impossible to transition to a new job.
You may be thinking, “Creating a really good résumé shouldn’t be this hard.”
Guess what? It isn’t!
A well executed résumé can do wonders for you!
✓ Help you get interviews.
✓ Get noticed by the Applicant Tracking System (ATS).
✓ Grab the attention of recruiters and hiring managers.
✓ Increase your confidence in the job search process.
The Mid-Career Résumé Strategies Guide will give you everything you need to create a résumé that gets results.
I’ll guide you in creating a résumé that will get the job done.
My name is Julia Toothacre. I created the Mid-Career Résumé Strategies Guide for you to confidently create a resume so you can take that next step in your career.
I've been a career coach for over 10 years with a counseling-focused advanced degree and multiple certifications. I spent the early part of my career editing and writing résumés for hundreds of clients across diverse industries and functional areas. I've written multiple résumé guides in the past that clients have used to feel more confident about their résumé and ultimately obtain their next opportunity.
This guide is a starting point, the basics. Your résumé ultimately needs to be customized to your experience, skills, and desired next step. I walk you through how to do that customization on your own the same way I used to walk clients through the process in person.
The Mid-Career Résumé Strategies guide gives you guidance on structure, language, and how applicant tracking systems work if you decide to submit blindly (without a referral or connection).

“As a mid-career professional, I had struggled with writing my resume all the time. Not surprisingly, my on and off job applications often did not pass the very first screening stage. Receiving the generic email stating that the hiring manager chose to pursue other candidates had become a reality of my experience. After studying Julia’s resume guide, I changed my resume top down. With my new resume I applied to two open positions at a FAANG company and received calls from recruiters for both positions with interest to move forward with my application. Julia’s resume guide is a jewel that made a day and night difference for me. "

FAQ
WILL YOU REVIEW MY RESUME?
At this time, I only review résumés for current coaching clients. If you're interested in becoming a coaching client, go HERE to see all the current offerings, but I recommend the Career Action Coaching package.
DO I NEED A COPY OF MY CURRENT RESUME?
This guide walks you through creating a résumé from start to finish. A recent copy of your résumé is not required, but will be helpful.
WHY SHOULD I TRUST THE INFORMATION IN THIS GUIDE?
Along with over 10 years of experience writing and editing résumés for clients, my information and process comes directly from my conversations with recruiters and hiring managers over the years. This guide has also been reviewed and vetted by current recruiters to ensure the content aligns with their expectations.
WILL YOUR PROCESS GUARANTEE MY RESUME GETS THROUGH AN ATS (APPLICANT TRACKING SYSTEM)?
No one can guarantee your résumé will get picked up in an ATS. Your content needs to align with the search
parameters the recruiter uses. The more your content is tailored to the job description, the higher the
likelihood it will get read. This guide walks you through how to do that.
