Resume Writing
Are you finding it challenging to write your resume so that employers respond?
It can be hard to know where to start and what to write. And once you start it can be very difficult to judge how employers will react to it. Will they see you as the desired candidate or will they disregard you and select someone else for the interview? How will it stack up against your competitors for that job?
You also know that for your resume to be seen, it will need to get through the latest generation of Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) used by employers and recruiters to sort and filter applications. How do you optimize for that?
I will quickly get you to the finish line with your new resume so you get interviews.
As the author of the #1 Wall Street Journal bestseller, “Winning Resumes” book, I’ll create a resume with you that gets attention from employers and cuts through applicant tracking filters.
I’ve written over 5800 resumes, so I have experience dealing with almost all jobs and industries.
Unlike many other resume services, I meet with you one-on-one and personally write your resume. You won’t get passed on to anyone else. And you’ll receive your new resume on the same day we meet so you can put it to use immediately.

“No one responded to my resume until I worked with Robin and then ten employers called from the first dozen I sent out. Her coaching helped me much faster than I would have done on my own.” — Jack B., Operations Manager
LinkedIn Profile Writing
“People continually ask me how to improve their LinkedIn profile. I tell them I used Robin Ryan to do mine because she is a very gifted wordsmith, but more importantly, a LinkedIn guru.” — Angela S., VP of HR
It can be tough to get started on a makeover of your LinkedIn profile.
But it is as important as your resume. So many employers and recruiters search on LinkedIn for high-quality candidates like you every day. 94% of recruiters do it.
Your profile needs to effectively market your skills on LinkedIn. It is not just a copy and paste of your resume. And your profile goes beyond job search. It is important to your personal brand, which guides how your clients, prospects, colleagues, investors, and business partners think of you.
I can do a makeover that gets you noticed. We work together you and I, you aren’t passed off to another writer. I personally transform your skills and accomplishments into a LinkedIn profile that stands out. Unlike other service providers, your new profile is done and live the same day we meet.
I know what works. I wrote the book on personal branding, Soaring on Your Strengths. I know the keywords that get your profile found by searchers.
I’m ready to help you get discovered and give off a better impression on LinkedIn. See my LinkedIn Profile Writing page for details and pricing.

Interview Coaching
You sent your resume. It worked, and now you’ve been invited to interview. Are you ready with good answers and the online or in-person presence you need to get the employer to hire you?
On average 80% of interviewees fail to land the job. Many times, the first 5 minutes make or break your chances.
You need to be ready to make the right first impression. You need to be prepared to concisely answer hard questions about situations, technical skills, and who you are. You need to open and close strongly.
I would be delighted to get you ready. We’ll roleplay the interview and analyze what worked well and what did not. I’ll teach you how to answer the tough, tricky questions. I’ll coach you for negotiating a salary. I’ll offer hiring insights and strategies essential to make you stand out as the candidate they should hire.
I know I can get you ready. I wrote a #1 bestseller book on how to interview, “60 Seconds & You’re Hired!” I’ve prepared over 3300 job seekers for their interviews.

“I would not have made it through the tough interview process and gotten my new job if it weren’t for Robin’s expertise and guidance.” — Grace G., Project Manager
AI Job Search Coaching
“As a long-time client of Robin’s, my AI Job Search coaching session with her exceeded my expectations. She introduced me to cutting-edge AI tools, showed me how to effectively connect with recruiters, and flagged critical mistakes to avoid when using AI in a job search. I walked away with fresh, actionable strategies.” — Michelle P., Chief Human Resources Officer
AI is now part of hiring — whether you’re using it or not.
But using AI the wrong way in your job search can be why you don’t land the job. For example, LinkedIn News reports that 80% of hiring managers regularly discard AI-generated resumes.
My AI Job Search Coaching shows you how to apply the best practices of traditional job search with the new capabilities of AI.
I’ll show you how to engage with recruiters you do not know, identify hidden job opportunities, get referrals, and effectively market yourself to employers. I recommend what AI services and tools to avoid using, and alert you about which ones can damage your job search.
You’ll leave our session with a detailed strategic plan that is tailored to your specific job search needs.

New College Grad Coaching
Too often, new grads struggle to put their major to use and to be hired by an employer in their field of interest. And too often their job applications get little attention, if any. As a result, they frequently do not land a job that is right for them.
A major reason I see with new and recent grad clients coming to me for coaching is that most do not have enough guidance from their colleges on what they need to do.
If you are unsure of which career path to pursue based on your degree and major, I partner with you to determine this. Then I work with you one-on-one to provide the Job Search, Resume, LinkedIn Profile, and Interview coaching needed to land a great fit job more quickly than doing it all on your own.
Visit my Career Coaching for New College Grads page for more details.
“Five large employers called me off my LinkedIn profile that Robin created. Her resume got me the interview, and her interview coaching helped me get through the tough interviews to land a better job than I ever thought I’d find.” — Michael B., New Grad and HR Associate
