Professional Resume Design

Buck and Jane is a household management service based out of Seattle, WA. Working with the owner/operator of the company, we created a brand based on a few core values: simplicity, compassion and organization. The client wanted the brand to be ‘approachable luxury’ – aiming at a grounded, easy-going clientele with disposable income. The brand had to be simple and high-class without pretense, elitism or showiness.

Martha was looking to apply for an internship with a nationally-known designer luxury brand. Despite having 10 years of industry experience, she needed to downplay her fashion work history – since she was applying for an internship, it was important not to look immediately overqualified for the position.

Rex had gone 5 months without an interview when we started the redesign process on his resume. After working with him to determine successes, awards and achievements, as well as working closely with Rex to develop a personal ‘brand’, we came up with a resume that Rex was pleased with. Within 3 days of submitting his newly redesigned resume, Rex had his first interview in 5 months. One month later Rex interviewed for a position with over 300 applicants. Based on his professional brand, well-written resume and interviewing skills, Rex landed a lucrative position as head of marketing for a national corporation.

Tim had been working real estate for the last few years, but was looking to switch careers, since his training and passion lay in engineering. We were working on designing a skills-based resume, with a subtle design/layout change to create a professional image that wouldn’t be too ‘designer-y’ for the engineering field.
