As a recruiter specializing in international development professionals, I’ve always been intrigued by the transformative power of a resume. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of engaging with international development professionals at various events, from networking to conferences and university seminars. Many times, these interactions have led to spontaneous requests to review resumes. These encounters have revealed a recurring challenge: capturing the brilliance, skill, talent, motivation, and compassion of individuals within the constraints of a resume.
The art of crafting resumes is undeniably complex…
It’s tough to distill one’s unique value proposition—the distinct advantage one brings to a potential employer—into a concise document. Translating skills gained in one field into applicable expertise in another presents its own set of challenges. Explaining career gaps or transitions can be tricky. Doubts about age, experience, or specialization can cast shadows on one’s confidence to apply.
My journey in international development and the incredible individuals I’ve met have inspired me to dedicate my professional endeavors to assisting professionals in their career pursuits. My approach incorporates the perspective of a seasoned recruiter into every resume writing and career coaching venture. This lens allows me to not only focus on the present resume but also on your future aspirations. My experience spans multiple international development organizations, equipping me with an in-depth comprehension of the recruitment process. Holding a certification as a professional resume writer and certified professional career coach, I adhere to industry standards. Moreover, I empathize with the challenges of career initiation, transitions, and transformations.
My aim is to guide you through the recruitment process with the confidence you deserve, enabling you to forge the international development career path you envision. Should you wish to connect and explore further, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
