About Jacqui Barrett-Poindexter
I am one of only 50 master resume writers and have crafted more than 1,500 career stories that drive game-changing results. My bachelor’s degree in writing/journalism allows me to apply a journalist’s eye to your career.
For 18 years, I have collaborated with executives whose stories have run adrift or aground. An intuitive listener, I reveal your stories using a proprietary Q&A approach: in-depth, tailored worksheet + phone interview fuel the writing strategy. I meld facts gathering with a unique sensitivity to your nuances and then imbue each line of your story.
A client recently shared, “Strong beauty, amazing grace – those are the overwhelming feelings that I discovered reading through your work.”
In addition to being interviewed for television and radio stories, I write for major media and am a Career and Workplace Expert blogging at Glassdoor. You can also find me blogging or quoted in U.S. News & World Report, Fast Company, Forbes, Lifehacker, FOX Business, The Wall Street Journal and more. I am on many Top Career Blogs lists and multiple Best People to Follow on Twitter lists for job seekers. (from http://careertrend.net/about)
