Elaine Basham’s Summary
With more than 10 years as a Senior Resume Writer and Resume Department Director, I've written high-impact, market-savvy resumes for hundreds of clients at every stage of their careers, from the mailroom to the Board Room, and at startups to Fortune 500 firms. I've written resumes for individuals in 30+ countries and in every conceivable industry and sector.
When the company I had been writing for closed, I began fielding phone calls from former clients, alliance partners, recruiters and others who urged me to start my own resume-writing business.
At the same time, Sue Sarkesian, former VP, Director and Senior Advisor at WSA was getting similar support and encouragement from clients and strategic business partners. Convinced we could make a real difference in helping people reach their professional goals, we joined forces and formed The Resume Group.
Together we bring 25+ years of experience in all facets of Career Consulting and Resume Preparation. We've put together a complete program to help clients achieve professional objectives. We work closely with clients to create the right resume, and the right search strategy to get that resume in front of the right people at the right companies.
Our goal is to create a resume that distinguishes you in the market, and that makes you the "must-interview" contender for the job you want, at the company you want, and at the salary you want.
