Barbara Safani’s Summary

As a career strategist and resume writer, I help my clients explore the many gifts they offer to employers and I advise them on how to create the most enticing packaging. Remaining true to oneself and authentic in the eyes of the employer is critical to a job seeker's success and a point that I stress as a coach. The tools I share with job seekers transcend the life-cycle of the job search and become an integral part of a client's life-long career management strategy.

I have over twelve years of experience in career management, recruiting, executive coaching, and organizational development. My clients are Fortune 500 companies and mid to senior level professionals seeking targeted career transition programs.

I have appeared as a career expert on CNN, ABC, FOX, and ROBtv and my career advice has been published in The Washington Post and MSNBC online. I am a career adviser for CareerBuilder and a triple-certified resume writer, a distinction only a handful of writers worldwide have achieved. My work has been published in more than two dozen career-relevant books and I am a regular contributor to The Ladders, Kennedy Executive Agent, and Career Hub, a top-25 HR blog. My coaching and writing credentials include:

Certified Career Master (CCM)
Certified Expert Resume Writer (CERW)
Nationally Certified Resume Writer (NCRW)
Certified Professional Resume Writer (CPRW)
