Raleigh Resume

Answer five questions.

The same five things we ask on a first call: what is in front of you, where you sit, what exists today, what you want done, and when. Pick one answer in each.

1. What is in front of you?
2. Your level?
3. What exists today?
4. What do you want done?
5. When?

How the recommendation is made

The rule of thumb is short enough to print. Documents on their own point at Essential. Documents plus the strategy behind them, or a VP-and-above search where the positioning decisions carry the engagement, point at Executive. Visibility without a search points at Presence Management. An interview this week, founder or fractional materials, a one-time profile rebuild, or an honest “not sure” point at a conversation first, because those are scheduled or quoted rather than packaged.

There is no score and no percentage. A short table of rules reads your five answers in order and the first rule that matches wins, which is also how the recommendation can name the answer that decided it.

Your answers never leave this tab. When the memo renders, the five choices are written into the address bar as a short code, so the link you copy reopens the same memo later or sends it to whoever is helping you decide. That part of a URL stays on your machine: browsers do not send a fragment to a server.

What a table cannot do is judgment: which twenty years become one story, which claim leads, what gets cut. That is the work we sell, and a credentialed writer does it. If the memo and your instinct disagree, trust your instinct and book the call.

The rest of the free toolbox runs the same way, in your browser: the resume check grades the whole document, the bullet meter grades the sentence, and the profile analyzer reads your LinkedIn headline and About section.

Rather just talk it through

Five questions cannot cover every situation. If yours is the exception, the first step is a free 20-minute call.
