Director and Executive Résumé Writer

Anna Kate Anderson                         

I help mid-career women secure jobs beyond $250K with professional résumés and LinkedIn profiles that communicate their unique impact.

If you’re ready to go to the next level in your career, but can’t secure an interview for the roles you really want, I’ve got your back.

I understand how frustrating it is to have all the skills and experience you need to do the work, but not be able to get a seat at the interview table. You’re not alone. I’ve helped hundreds of women over the last 6 years with the same problem.

The fact is, you didn’t get to this place without hard work and achievements and that means you already have everything you need to be successful.

You just need support to frame your experience and demonstrate how the impact of your work aligns with the role and organization you’re applying to.

It's time to ensure that you have a position where you are valued and rewarded. I’m here to help.

And yes! I work with men, too. Men represent about 20% of my clients.

Take the stress out of the job search process, and stop wasting time.

Over the years I’ve streamlined intake so gathering the information I need to understand and convey your leadership style is efficient. This approach results in much less stress for you, and much less time spent on your part too.

Within 48 hours of our initial call and service booking, you’ll receive a personalized intake form. I’m happy to read everything you send – 1 page or 10! – to understand who you are and where you want your life to go.

You’ll also send an example of a job you’d like to apply for so I can target your résumé, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile to similar roles.

After the docs are complete, you’ll get an editable Word doc and PDF. I am happy to walk you through the docs and provide edits within a two week timeframe.

Director and executive résumés that help you secure next-level interviews.

Unlike other résumé writers, I don’t approach your résumé or LinkedIn profile as a tick-box exercise.

My background is in higher education administration and I have a master’s degree in literature. This means I create a cohesive narrative that opens the door to opportunity by using the story of you and how you got here.

After supporting HR, recruitment, and writing hundreds of resumes, I understand the recruitment process from the ground up. I know what’s working right now, and the language that presents you as an industry insider ready to go to the next level.

When you work with me, you get customized service. If you choose the executive-level package, we work together exclusively and I write all your documents personally. I also project manage, edit, and approve all director-level resumes that are written by my experienced team.

What I love most about my job…

“Clients often tell me they have an ‘aha!’ moment
after receiving their new résumé, optimized
LinkedIn profile, and cover letter, because the
documents are so aligned with their best selves
at work. They say it’s a huge confidence boost to
see the evidence of their achievements laid out in
black and white. Now they have the language
they need to go into the recruitment process with
renewed energy, ambition, and confidence.”

It’s my mission to help more women understand and communicate their abilities and potential so they can get a seat at the highest tables, and be a force for positive change.

I am committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion, especially to helping more women, and women of color, achieve leadership positions.

Like many of my clients, I’m a working mom (and dog-mom), and understand what it’s like to juggle family and career. As a natural empath, I’m great in a crisis! Outside of work, I love cooking and baking, Halloween :), writing, and I’m an avid reader. One of my proudest achievements is completing the Second City improv training program. (I was the only woman in my group to see the whole program through!) I live in the Chicago suburbs with my family.

I look forward to learning more about you and helping you secure your ideal role.
