Career Steering Executive Resume Writing Services
Founder-Led | Private Engagements
Each engagement is handled with discretion, focus, and direct founder involvement from start to finish
You’re in the right place if you’re ready for a thoughtful, strategic approach to executive positioning.
Career Steering is a high-touch, founder-led practice designed for senior leaders, C-suite executives, and board-level professionals. From start to finish, I guide our engagement through brand strategy, narrative development, and carefully crafted writing that reflects the full scope of your leadership differentiation.
This is not a transactional service. It’s a deliberate, personalized experience.
How This Works
I intentionally work with a small number of clients at a time to ensure focus and depth. To support that level of care, my team and I manage the engagement collaboratively—handling administrative and operational details behind the scenes so I can remain fully focused on strategy, writing, and client guidance.
This structure allows me to remain fully focused on:
- Executive positioning and strategic branding
- Shaping your leadership narrative
- Writing and refining all core materials
- Guiding you through the broader job-search and decision-making process
An experienced, handpicked, and sole assistant writer supports the process as needed—much like a sous-chef—while every strategic decision and final word remains mine.
What to Expect
Every résumé is built from the ground up.
No templates. No outsourcing. No shortcuts.
The work is grounded in decades of executive-level resume writing & coaching experience, plus a clear understanding of how boards, search firms, and senior stakeholders evaluate leadership.
The goal is clarity, credibility, and quiet confidence.
A Measure We Care About
When clients receive their résumé, the response is often a simple “Wow.”
What we never hear is:
“We could have done this ourselves.”
There’s another measure we value just as much: a meaningful portion of our work comes from returning clients, word of mouth, and referrals.
That distinction matters.
Next Steps
Reserve your engagement
Select your executive resume branding package below. Because this is a boutique-style service with limited capacity, early scheduling is recommended.
Prepare comfortably
After booking, you’ll share any existing materials and join me for a one-on-one phone or video consultation. You’ll receive optional reflection prompts in advance; use them as much or as little as you like.
Collaborative refinement
We then move into a focused refinement phase to finalize your materials. Most engagements are completed within two to four weeks, depending on scope and scheduling. Your delivery timeline will be confirmed at the outset.
A Relationship That Often Continues
Many clients come to Career Steering for an executive résumé…and stay for much more. Over time, I’m often asked to support additional work: executive bios and thought leadership, business website content, internal company materials, ghostwritten articles or books, and other writing that requires clarity, discretion, and a strong command of voice.
That’s because, at heart, I’m more than a writer; I’m a steward and advocate for my clients’ stories, trusted to represent their voice with care and precision. I work with words not just to inform, but to engage, persuade, and move readers to action. When clients trust me with their leadership story once, they often return when they need that same voice carried forward in new ways.
Those long-term relationships are among the most rewarding parts of my work!
