“Thank you so very much, Keva. Please use me as a reference because I had a very difficult 15 years to explain on paper and my TKDAResume writer did a phenomenal job. I can’t imagine anyone on the planet being able to do what she did — I am in awe of her work, which was worth every penny if not more. I feel like a 10-ton weight has finally been lifted off my chest!”

“Hey Keva, Just wanted to let you know how happy I am with my final resume. My resume writer was wonderful – creative in her word choices and very accessible. It was a great experience working with her and your company! I will be sure to pass TKDAResume along to anyone I know who needs their resume revamped.”
Thanks again,
Susan Toffler

What’s wrong with my resume?
To answer that, ask yourself these questions:
- Is your summary good enough to get the recruiter to read on?
- Is your resume organized “functionally,” strategically by importance, or is it arranged chronologically, with your most important human-resource equities hidden way down the page?
- Does it demonstrate your initiative, problem-solving skills and methods for addressing issues in the workplace?
- Does it vividly illustrate how you’ve affected the bottom line with dollar signs, number of hours saved, percentages of efficiency, productivity and/or creativity enhanced?
- Does it capture the person behind the data? Is it creative – like you?
- Does your resume contain the right keywords, the kind of language a computer would match against a job listing?
Is it articulate and literate? Is it immaculately proofread? Does it fit elegantly on one page? Can you maintain an objective perspective on your skills, experience and personal traits?
Still wondering what might be wrong with your resume?
Is TKDAResume worth it for ME?
Unless you’re a professional writer with years of experience in the business of “selling” personalities, are highly organized, and are able to identify holes in your resume and craft compelling content to fill them, it’s worth it for you.
Unless you know exactly what recruiters are looking for in this historically difficult job market and how to give it to them, it’s worth it for you.
Unless you know how to effectively “spin” your experience to qualify you for your dream job, it’s worth it for you.
But I’m a creative; I get hired from my portfolio.
In this market, a recruiter may not even look at your portfolio unless she already has a compelling reason to do so. Your resume has to not only speak for YOU – it has to speak for your portfolio. Does it? If the recruiter isn’t bowled over by your resume, she may not bother to look at your portfolio.
Is a resume really that important?
Yes. Your resume speaks for you when you can’t.

“Thanks TKDAResume for my review….really great notes. You’ve given me a LOT to work with. I hadn’t considered a separate resume for agency work, but that makes a lot of sense. Much appreciated.”

“Hi Keva!
“I just started sending out my resume, which I edited after getting TKDAResume’s excellent review comments. I immediately noticed more responses coming in. In fact, I can’t believe my original resume got me any work at all! I’m also applying some of the resume reviewer’s suggestions to my website bio. Thanks so much!”

” I knew my resume needed help.
I couldn’t BEGIN to describe my many years of experience as a creative director and my passion for creative work in a succinct way.
Then Keva came to the rescue.
My TKDAResume writer was fantastic. She was easy to work with, and she really took the time to understand my career and where I wanted to go with it. We collaborated on a resume that is powerfully to the point AND distinctly me.
With so many talented people out there looking for opportunities, it’s critical to have a resume that quickly conveys your strengths and personality.
I’m confident that my new one will help take me from the sidelines to being not only back in the game, but part of a dynamic, thriving, top-notch organization.”
