"Career
Power isn't your everyday resume service... Doug's thorough
consultation resulted in a stellar presentation [of] the
final resume. He took the time to fully understand
what I have done and, more importantly, where I wanted to
go. I have often been complimented on the professionalism
of my resume, and the response that I received has
literally changed my life!"

"Just a quick e-mail
to thank you for the very personalized service. Your
comprehensive interview fleshed out a surprising number
of facts, details and even personality traits that I wouldn't
have considered. In the last six weeks I've distributed
300 resumes. Even during the current slow economy, I've
received 28 inquiries for more information, telephone and
in-person interviews. I really appreciate your
expertise; I'm so grateful"

The ‘Lieutenant Columbo’ Of The Resume Writing
World
For
the past 20 years, Doug Morrison’s resumes have
positioned over 2,000 sales and marketing managers
to move from ho-hum work routines to challenging careers.They’ve traded boring
and bland for energizing and exciting. If you ask
any of his clients, they’ll tell you that he’s
the ‘Lieutenant Columbo’ of the resume-writing
world. With a warm, personable style, Doug:
•
Uncovers the smallest clues to
reveal your accomplishments
•
Asks targeted questions to pinpoint
important details
•
Neutralizes the challenge of age, education
or work history
•
Fleshes out your contributions to solidify your
value
Doug’s ability
to steadily, relentlessly, and brilliantly uncover the not-so-obvious
successes of your career, guarantees a superior resume.
Doug,
why do people hire you? "My clients
are never disappointed –
I work hard to make them fully satisfied.
I believe my first job is to make my clients happy and my
second, equally important, job is to write exceptional resumes.
I ask questions in different ways that chisel and polish
my clients’ accomplishments - like a diamond miner
- until the results reflect their true value."
Why
do you like to write resumes?
"I’ve walked in
my clients’ shoes – 20 years ago I was unemployed
and began by writing my own resume.
It was difficult to decide what was important to include
and what should be left out. Many of my clients don’t
have the time or the patience to learn how to write their
own resume. With my first client, I knew that writing was
what I wanted to do and that seeing satisfaction on a client’s
face was what I loved. In my opinion, there is nothing better
than having a client read their new
resume and say, 'I would hire me!'"
What
makes you different from other resume writers?
"I take writing someone’s
resume very seriously and I know the importance of doing
it right the first time.
My ‘Lieutenant Columbo’ technique solves the
mystery of the resume writing process and provides you with
the edge for finding your next job. I’ve worked for
employers whose values conflicted with my own, in jobs I
hated. Having pulled myself out of this type of situation
gives me the experience and methods to show others how to
do the same. I’ve discovered the key to finding fulfilling,
enjoyable work, for an employer who shares your values and
integrity. That key is a resume that not only highlights
your value and accomplishments, but also counterbalances
any problem areas and captures your personality. That’s
what I do!"

On
A Personal Note: Doug
likes to read Time Magazine and write poetry and personal
essays. He likes music that expresses an idea, creatively.
While he steers clear of punk rock, rap, or anything
else that all sounds the same, he does listen to Harry
Chapin, Billy Joel, and Enya.
