You're Not Rejected.
— You're Overlooked —
We fix your resume with one conversation
It's Not The ATS —
It's Your Resume's Story
1. Your resume isn't proving you're better than hundreds of other qualified candidates.
2. Being qualified isn't enough —
you need to be the obvious choice.
We Uncover What Sets You Apart
Our 1-on-1 interview reveals the story that makes you the hire, not just another candidate.
We dig deeper than any questionnaire ever could.
We Prove Why You're #1 of 1,300
It's not just about you
— it's who you're competing against.
Our interview process probes to identify what makes you the standout choice.
We Prove Value, Not List Duties
Every bullet point demonstrates impact:
the challenge you faced → the action you took → the measurable result you delivered.
You've Solved Technical Problems.
We Prove the Impact.
Our 1-on-1 interview process uncovers the tickets you've resolved, the systems you've supported, and the satisfaction you've delivered — NOT "provided technical support."
We reverse-engineer your target help desk roles
Before your interview, we analyze the positions you're targeting and build a custom interview plan to extract exactly what hiring managers need to see
We ask the questions
you can't ask yourself Our writers probe deep into your experience — the tickets resolved, the systems mastered, the users supported

The Resume Target Method
Your Resume Becomes Proof You're the
Your Resume Becomes Proof You're the
Best Help Desk Candidate
When a hiring manager reads your resume, they should think:
"This person has solved the exact problems we're facing."
1. We Dive Into Your Projects
What were the projects or initiatives you worked on? We probe to understand the scope, the stakes, and the significance.
"Tell me about the biggest project you led last year..."
2. We Uncover the Goals
What were the goals of the project? The company's objectives? Your specific responsibilities? We connect your work to business outcomes.
"What was the company trying to achieve with this?"
3. We Document Your Systems
What systems, processes, and strategies did you implement to achieve those goals? This is where your expertise becomes visible.
"Walk me through how you actually made this happen..."
4. For Managers & Leaders
What challenges did you face? How did you deal with them? What systems and strategies did you implement to overcome obstacles?
"What was the biggest challenge, and how did you solve it?"
The Result?
Your resume clearly articulates
to every hiring manager:
If your company is going through these problems —
here's the PROOF of how I can help.

Yes. We offer a 90-Day Interview Guarantee — if you don't land interviews within 90 days of receiving your final resume, we'll completely rewrite it free of charge. With a 98% interview success rate, we're confident in our work.

Based on our analysis of 42,000+ help desk job postings, the average position receives 65 applicants. If you apply to 20 jobs in a typical 30-day search, you're competing against approximately 1,300 other candidates. A professionally written, ATS-optimized resume helps you stand out.
What certifications should be on a help desk resume?
Key help desk certifications include: CompTIA A+, Network+, Security+, ITIL Foundation, Microsoft certifications (MD-100, MS-900), and HDI Support Center Analyst. We know how to position these credentials prominently for ATS systems and hiring managers.
