Project Proposal

1. INTRO TO TEENA, SENIOR WRITER & COACH

Hey there! My name is Teena Rose, and I've been writing resumes since early 1999. I consider myself fun to work with because I'm PERSONABLE AND OUTGOING—someone who takes a vested interest in clients. Many clients have worked with me multiple times over the past two decades.

Unlike other writers, I hold a unique and STRATEGIC MIX OF CAREER (e.g., Resume Writing Mastery Professional/RWMP) and MARKETING CERTIFICATIONS: branding strategies, content development/optimization, digital marketing, and competitive positioning.

In addition to being highly skilled and trained, I'm HEAVILY ENDORSED BY CLIENTS. I'm deeply invested in every client's career success. You'll work with me exclusively as your writer and career coach.

I offer a 100% SATISFACTION GUARANTEE. My motto with clients is to write and deliver "THE RIGHT RESUME & LINKEDIN PROFILE THE FIRST TIME." This means that I produce materials that are:

  • ATS-Friendly
  • Visually Striking
  • Keyword-Rich
  • Achievement-Focused

EVERY CLIENT RECEIVES VIP TREATMENT. For more prolonged support, writing, and tools, I offer a VIP program that provides many additional resources, including career coaching by email, access to a member portal for downloads/resources, etc.

Ready to begin? If yes, make your selection from the service options on this page. Once received, I'll contact you about the next step.

"A co-worker recommended Teena for her resume writing services. I wanted my resume to reflect my experiences, education, and accomplishments, but I had not updated it for years. I signed up for her services. She did a phenomenal job updating my resume, creating a cover letter, and enhancing my Linkedin page. I genuinely believe that she has helped me move forward with my career, and I will continue to utilize her services throughout my career. I highly recommend her to those looking to progress in their careers." Rafael M., Chief of Police

"Teena, you're the best! I appreciate your providing a needed refresh on my resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile. Timely, professional, and quality work. Thanks again!" David L. Hospital SVP & CMO

2. BENEFITS OF WORKING WITH ME / HOW I HELP YOU

I take a 3-prong approach (A, B & C) to delivering the BEST outcome for you:

A. "BRANDED, BEAUTIFUL & BOLD" RESUME & LINKEDIN PROFILE FOR YOU

For better returns from your job-search efforts, it's best NOT TO BLEND with other candidates. This means using a resume and LinkedIn profile that are visually attractive, well-written, and unique to you. If you're currently using documents that "look too much like everyone else's," then you'll love the design strategies* I'll use to help you resonate with hiring managers.

* Skimmable content, headings, pattern interrupts, visual elements, etc. 

B. CAPTIVATING CONTENT SPECIFIC TO YOU/YOUR CAREER

Despite new hiring technology, content is still king for job-search material. This is why I'll provide you with a keyword-rich resume and LinkedIn profile that ANSWERS THE "WHY YOU" QUESTION FOR RECRUITERS and HIRING MANAGERS. I accomplish this in part by using:

  • Intriguing Content Hooks
  • Branded Summary Statement
  • Advanced Keywords Strategies For Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS)
  • SAR Writing Style
  • Strong Headlines/Subheadings
  • Compelling Career Narratives
  • Focusing on Your "Recent, Relevant & Unique" Knowledge, Skills & Achievements

C. YOU'LL GET PERSONAL 1:1 ATTENTION 

Part of what makes me a unique writer and coach is the attention I give each client. You won't be just another client for me. You'll have my full attention and get the attention you deserve.

I recommend reading through the HUNDREDS OF CLIENT TESTIMONIALS, published on my LinkedIn page and the Resume to Referral, LLC website.

You'll recognize a theme amongst them, such as "I contacted Teena based on a recommendation...," "I was personally referred to Teena by a colleague...," and "Teena came very highly recommended." 

3. YOU'RE IN GOOD HANDS / I'M HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

“Hiring Teena to write my executive resume and cover letter was a good move. My first thought when reviewing the drafts were “wow” — she did a thorough job of taking my outdated resume and transforming the content to include additional achievements and more relevant keywords … plus, she overhauled the visual look. Working with Teena was a nice, seamless process." Harold M., Executive Leader & Business Builder

“Teena is an expert resume writer. She was able to actually capture and highlight my expertise. Like all of us who have grown and have worked on a multitude of things in the technology industry, I did not know where to start and what to state. In fact, when I tried this myself it looked more like Biography. She spent time analyzing my career, not missing a single detail." Prasanna S., Vice President, Oracle

“My resume needed dusting off after many title changes. I found Teena on LinkedIn and after reviewing her profile and numerous recommendations I knew I found my help. Teena was extremely easy to work with and through a series of a few e-mail exchanges, she presented a high-quality professional resume and cover letter. I would strongly recommend Teena’s services and craft." Laura G., Vice President of Customer Care, Apria Healthcare

“I have had the pleasure of working with Teena Rose for nearly three years now. She has done an outstanding job of providing resume writing and PR consulting to my clients.

Teena provides insight, depth, and results that have allowed my candidates to look…” John B., Vice President, Luna Data Solutions

“I contracted Teena to assist me in writing my professional resume. As a CEO, I had certain expectations that needed to be conveyed in my resume. Teena exceeded all of my expectations with a professional and well-thought-out approach. Her creative writing skills added a personal touch which all too often is lacking in a resume. I was extremely satisfied with the final…” Tom L., President, Loos & Associates

“Thank you so much! I landed a fantastic job yesterday as IT Director of [removed for privacy purposes]. I could not have done it without your help! I wanted to let you know that you have a very satisfied customer! Thank you again! I am getting a nicer salary! Also part of my compensation is a bonus, profit sharing, and a gas card. :)” Jason F., IT Director, Ellsworth, PA

“Teena is an expert resume writer. She was able to capture and highlight my expertise. Like all of us who have grown and have worked on a multitude of things in the technology industry, I did not know where to start and what to state. In fact, when I tried this myself it looked more like Biography. She spent time analyzing my career, not missing a single detail. Asked questions…” Prasanna S., VP of Cloud Services, Oracle, Austin, TX

“It gives me immense pleasure to write a recommendation for Teena Rose. I have personally used her resume writer services 3 times over the years to secure employment opportunities to advance my overall career. Teena draws the best out of every person with her resume writing skills and she possesses an in-depth knowledge of what it takes to land that dream job." Shawn V., Applications Coordinator, Brookville, OH

“I contacted Teena based on a recommendation from a coworker. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I follow the mentality of "If you want something done professionally, you hire a professional". My resulting resume looks AWESOME. I have a non-traditional working history that's a jumble of overlapping employment, IT consulting contracts, clients, and professional responsibilities. I’ve always struggled to document it myself, but Teena took all that and laid it out in a clear progression that can be followed. My highlights and responsibilities are detailed nicely and emphasize my strengths without coming across as wildly exaggerated or overselling. I couldn't be happier and have already recommended her services to friends and professional acquaintances looking to make a move." Samuel S., Senior SAP EWM/WM Tech/Functional

Jimmy L., Research Analyst/Intelligence

“Teena, You wrote my resume a year or so ago and I thank you for that as I have landed my dream job.

“Hi Teena, Happy New Year! Things are going great. I’m moving slowly in the search and I have three very good opportunities in the works (a couple of phone interviews, etc). I think in the next couple of weeks it’s going to get interesting. The feedback on my resume has been….fantastic! Once I change positions I’ll certainly provide you with a great reference. Thanks for checking in.” Barry M., Utility District Manager

"It was a pleasure working with you, Teena.  I’m shocked at how well the end product was and how well it describes me even though we’ve never met, let alone even spoke!  LOL.  It was painless and at the same time thought-provoking–GO FIGURE.  I’ll definitely stay in touch if I need any help and hope you have a great Thanksgiving week.” Mark G., District Manager

"Hello!!! I’m happy to say the search went very well. I interviewed with some of the bigger companies such as Booz Allen Hamilton and NG and had some DoD civil service offers, but decided to go with a smaller company that I believe can utilize my experience in a more diverse manner. They had the best benefits, a better working environment, and the best future vision. I begin work on 2 Jan and the pay is very good…I think. I’ll be starting at $130K with a starting bonus of $5K. I’m looking forward to starting my next chapter! Thanks for the help and assistance!” Judson B., Project Manager

“When I needed a resume that would open doors, through referral, I met Teena Rose. Ms. Rose’s analysis of my resume, and subsequent rewrite, positively changed my appeal to prospective employers.

Hawkins-Wright – Campus Operations Coordinator at the University of Phoenix

I wanted to let you know that, thanks to your resume skills, I landed a new job as VP Sales ... and, I gave your contact info to a friend of mine who needs his resume updated for an opportunity he is looking at. Thanks again for your assistance." Mike T., VP of Sales, Plano, TX

“I utilized Teena’s resume writing service a couple of months ago to better articulate my professional career history.

In a labor market where getting the interview is so crucial, Teena's expertise could make the difference on whether you get a call back from an employer or not."Manny B., Recruiter - Medical Device & Pharma Sales

I connected with Teena because I wanted my resume to reflect my accomplishments, achievements, and career growth without looking like everyone else's resume in my field. The result was an awesome resume and cover letter that captured everything that was important to me in securing my next role. I would not have received such a quality product without following her instructions to the "T". In addition, Teena took the time to learn about me and my work experience.

I look forward to using her services throughout my career and will continue to recommend her to others that seek it.Julie R., HR Business Partner, Lisle, IL

Teena was able to extract my traits based on my experience and detailed questions that she provided me with that I would have missed." Kimberly T., Senior Financial Analyst

“A friend of mine had come across Teena's services when I was inquiring about a resume writer. I have never used this type of service before so I didn't know what to expect. After the initial conversation with Teena, I was onboard. I am not one to "toot my own horn" but realized it is a necessity as I go upward in my career. Teena was amazing. She took my entire career and formulated an excellent highlight reel of my accomplishments and put metrics around it. I retained her for my resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn Profile. I highly recommend Teena and her all-inclusive services. She takes the time to listen to what your role and responsibilities include and how to position yourself for the next step in your career.” Kristy P. Corporate Controller

I would always get compliments on my resume at job fairs and...” Chris H., GL Specialist, Lilburn, GA

“I worked with Teena to re-write my resume to focus on achievements and skills rather than simply tasks completed. After our phone consultation, Teena had a draft ready for me very quickly.

“The resume looks GREAT!!! I sincerely thank you. Normally I don’t allow anyone else to do anything for me. After being on the fence about contracting the service and searching for 2 months for a highly recommended resume writer or company, I’m glad I did. I’m left speechless at what you’ve done with the resume and LinkedIn. I truly appreciate it.  I will recommend your services to everyone I come across.

Teena took the time to listen and truly "take in" those ideas most important to me and helped me see where I was most powerful, most effective.

Teena was prompt, professional, and caring and delivered what she promised. I wholeheartedly recommend her!" Kiki G., Corporate Trainer
