Lisa Carman
It’s great to e-meet you! I’m Lisa Carman, Resume Guru and LinkedIn Profile Expert. After 3 clients in 1 month called me a “Resume Guru”, I embraced the title and haven’t looked back. Leveraging over 20 years in Corporate America, in 2010 I launched my business, Resonating Resumes and spend each day doing the work I love most – connecting with powerful leaders and business professionals and writing Resumes, CVs and LinkedIn Profiles that result in job interviews!

WHAT I DO BEST:
I guide leaders and business professionals to first understand their true value and then articulate that value on the Resume/CV, on LinkedIn and in interviews.
A supporter of my community, I am proud to partner with community non-profits to deliver Resume Writing, Interviewing Skills and LinkedIn Profile Branding and LinkedIn Marketing workshops virtually and in-person. I am here to positively impact as many people as possible.
I’ve personally written over 2,000 Resumes/CVs and I’m still excited each and every time I meet a new client. I have a gift for connecting quickly with clients and identifying distinguishing strengths, traits and achievements.
I can’t wait to meet you and learn about your amazing experience and successes!

Process
I use a personalized approach with each client. Because you are a unique individual, I customize each Resume and LinkedIn Profile process to what YOU need.
Our Collaborative Process:
- Free Discovery Consultation: To answer all your questions and ensure I’m the right writer for you.
- We begin your project with a 1-hour phone call. I have many questions for you and each answer leads me to the next question.
- I am likely to assign Action Items to you (i.e. providing me with a Job Description of interest or making a list of your Achievements).
- Within 1 week, I deliver the first draft of the Resume. Then, you provide critical feedback on the first draft.
- I deliver the next version.
- When we both agree your new Resume is the best it can be (in terms of relevancy and reflecting your best), I produce the FINAL Resume files (MS Word, pdf, ATS) and email to you.
- The LinkedIn Profile is typically the next step. By the time I’ve finalized your Resume, I know you well enough to write your LinkedIn Profile and brand in your voice.
- Repeat steps 3-6.
- If selected, I upload your new LinkedIn content and provide a detailed training session so you get the most bang out of your LinkedIn time-buck.
