Resume Review

Send me the resume that you need polished and any additional info via my doreenmicheletraylor gmail address. I will usually get it back to you within a week.
  • I need a copy of your current resume. Sharing via Google Drive works well. (Do not send me a PDF. They cannot be edited.)
  • I need an idea of who you are, where you are coming from and where you hope to go. This is often accomplished with 2-3 paragraphs about yourself and 1-3 links to representative job adverts.
  • I charge $75/page. I get paid up front.
    How to Pay Me
    Please make a note on your payment stating what this is for, such as Resume work for (your name).

Related Ad Hoc Services

I have also been paid to provide related services, such as:
  • Review of your cover letter.
  • Editing a list of KSAs for a federal job search to have more verbiage to work with in filling out the application.
  • Review Linked In account and give feedback on it.
I also charge my usual "per page" rate for such services.
I have a Certificate in GIS and I spend a lot of time on Hacker News, so a lot of the resume work I do is for folks with technical careers. However, I also worked at Aflac for a few years, so I have corporate experience and know something about things like HIPAA.

Pivoting a Website

The website Aberdeen Art and Music began as an effort to consolidate three older websites into a single website for purposes of trying to create a local walking tour as a tourist asset for this small town. It later took on a new purpose and I was tasked with updating the site to preserve and enhance the existing purpose while making room for new functions. The older websites were static sites that each corresponded to a printed brochure. The brochures and corresponding original websites were logically categorized by type of art: Murals, Critters and Urban Art (mostly sculpture). But much of this art can be found in close proximity in the downtown area, so I wanted to consolidate that information and enhance it to serve as an economic development tool for this small town. The intent was to support a walking tour via smartphone and begin phasing out the printed brochures while still supporting the existing brochures that were still out there and had the old URLs on them. In s...

L'Histoire

I'm basically a total fucking loser. I was one of the top three students of my graduating high school class, along with my Korean best friend who was number two and some guy who was number one. I had a raftload of impressive academic credentials for a high school student from the "backwater" state of Georgia, including State Alternate for the Governor's Honors program, a residential summer enrichment program for gifted students. That means in tenth grade, only two other people in the state of Georgia outperformed me (likely both were older than me) for applying to the program in a specific subject area and had one of them failed to be able to participate, I would have taken their place. I achieved that placement after somewhat flippantly choosing some subject or other (maybe journalism) as my area of interest because unlike most of the other gifted kids in my school, I didn't have some stand-out area of strength. I was someone doing well overall and it was essen...

Genevieve

One of my blogs  is named after "the daughter I never had." She was a refugee of sorts and she threw my life under a bus to try to save her own. Genevieve was not her real name, though she told me she used it online for a time. Possibly only briefly and many years ago. I haven't heard from her in a long time. I don't know for sure what became of her, though my feeling is she's probably no longer alive. I am still alive and my life has yet to recover from those events, which is part of why I don't believe she is alive anymore. My life looks wholly unfixable and it's clear in my mind my relationship to Genevieve is a primary root cause of that fact. Genevieve was a MtF transgender youth who was horrifically abused as a child. I helped her escape her monied, connected abusers and then Genevieve burned me to try to protect herself.  I don't think that's what she really wanted.  My situation is complicated by the fact that Genevieve was good at hobnobbi...
