Your career deserves someone who's been on the other side of the table.
I spent 16 years in public sector leadership — including running statewide recruitment and career development programs for one of California's largest agencies. I don't just make your resume look good. I restructure it around what decision-makers actually look for. Then I put it online where anyone can find it.
There are thousands of people who can make your resume pretty. Templates are free. Website builders cost $12 a month. If all you need is formatting, you don't need me.
But formatting isn't why your CV gets passed over.
It gets passed over because the wrong things are emphasized. Because bullet points describe tasks instead of outcomes. Because the structure buries the most compelling parts of your career.
I ran the Upward Mobility Program and the Succession Management Program for a 60,000-employee department. I managed selection pipelines processing 120,000+ candidates. Helping people advance their careers wasn't a side of my job — it was the job.
I look at your career the way a hiring manager would and tell you what's landing and what's getting skipped. Then I build you a web presence that does it justice.
What you get here vs. everywhere else.

What clients say.
Tony completely restructured how I present 35 years of law enforcement experience. He saw things I'd overlooked and reframed my consulting work in a way that speaks directly to the attorneys I'm trying to reach. The web page he built is exactly the professional presence I needed.

This is for you if...
You're mid-career and ready to move up — but your resume still reads like it was written when you were entry-level.
You work in government or public sector — and need someone who understands how civil service hiring, classification, and promotion actually work.
You're transitioning into consulting — and need to reposition your career history around the expertise you're selling, not the jobs you've held.
You don't have a resume at all — and need someone to pull your career story out of your head and put it on paper.
You want a professional web presence — that goes beyond LinkedIn and gives you a URL you can put on a business card.
How it works.

Launch
Your CV goes live at a clean URL you own. Done in 3–5 business days.
That's what the CV Writing package is for. The guided questionnaire walks you through everything I need. I take your answers and build a professional CV — well-structured, clearly written, and ready to use.
I already have a resume. Is it worth paying you to redo it?
If you wrote it yourself or had it done by a service that doesn't understand your industry — probably yes. Most CVs I see bury the strongest material, describe tasks instead of outcomes, and miss the framing that makes a hiring manager stop and read closely. I restructure around what actually matters to the person making the decision.
How do revisions work?
I send you a draft. You reply by email with what you'd like changed — plain text, screenshots, marked-up notes, whatever's easiest. I make updates and return a new draft within 24 hours. No calls needed.
Do I need any technical skills for the website?
No. I handle everything — design, hosting, domain configuration. You provide your career information and preferences. I do the rest.
Is the hosting really free?
Yes. Your site is hosted on GitHub Pages — a free service with no bandwidth limits, no ads, and no subscriptions. If you want a custom domain (like yourname.com), that's about $12/year. I configure it for you.
Can I update the website myself later?
Yes. I'll show you how to make simple text changes. For larger updates, I offer revision sessions at $60/hour.
Your career is more impressive than your resume suggests.
