Resume Writing Can Be a Challenge

The job search is more confusing and complex today than ever before.

There's conflicting information everywhere you turn - whether it's from friends and family, Google, YouTube, or Facebook. With information overload, it's easy to get confused and frustrated.

So let's change that! Helping job seekers is WHY I created this course.

This course is designed to provide you with ONLY the most critical information you need to know to write a resume that actually works. After you're finished, you'll actually feel proud sending out your new resume... and you'll start landing interviews for jobs you actually want.

Testimonials

I've worked with hundreds of clients to transform their resumes and help them find their ideal careers. Here are just a few examples.

“I worked with Vida to develop a new resume. The whole process was excellent - Vida listened to my experiences, asked good questions to probe further and then really captured all my strengths on paper. Within 2 weeks, I had a flawless resume to submit that I was proud of. Within a month I was hired into a new company. Highly recommend working with Vida!”

Valerie Parr

“Vida did an excellent job with helping me craft an effective CV. Vida spent a great deal of time asking questions about my professional experience before documenting my Public Sector accomplishments into a document that showcased my skill sets to perspective Private Sector employers. I would recommend Vida to anyone who is considering a career change and looking for assistance from a true HR pro!”

Cam Muir

“Vida helped me re-structure my resume and optimize my LinkedIn profile. I immediately saw a jump in interest level from recruiters and company HR reps. It helped me land a management job in Vancouver at a cutting-edge high-tech company. She is an excellent listener who knows how to bring out the best in her clients. I highly recommend her services if you are looking for a step-up in your career.”

Will Ferry

“Vida is superb. I could not have secured the position without Vida's assistance. She was instrumental from start to finish: revision of my resume, cover and thank you letters. In addition, she provided me with strategies in connecting with Human Resources staff within the organization that I recently joined. I would highly recommend Vida's services! ”

Ranjeet Hira

“I will recommend Vida to anyone who needs help with their resume. She took my resume and transformed it into a document that highlights my experience in a much better way than what I could have done myself.”

Marion Fourie

“Vida was excellent. Re-worked my existing old resume into an eye-catching page. I was called and interviewed by everyone I sent a copy to. Cover page, Resume, Thank you letter. Top notch.”
