Way 2 Communication • Full-time

Jun 2021 - Nov 2025 • 4 yrs 5 mos

As a TA consultant, I partnered with clients to solve their hiring challenges, the same way I now help job seekers solve THEIR career challenges. Key experience relevant to YOU: - Reviewed 500+ resumes and applications, learning exactly what catches a recruiter's eye (and what gets ignored) - Coached candidates on interview preparation, salary negotiation and career positioning - Crafted job descriptions and candidate profiles that attracted top talent - Managed end-to-end candidate experience from first contact to offer acceptance - Built reputation for understanding both employer needs and candidate aspirations Why this matters for Upwork clients: I know what recruiters want because I AM a recruiter. I've been on the hiring side, making me uniquely qualified to position YOUR career story for maximum impact.

Talent Acquisition Specialist

IBM • Full-time

Nov 2012 - Apr 2020 • 7 yrs 5 mos

Recruited for one of the world's largest tech companies, reviewing thousands of resumes and hiring across multiple functions. What I learned that benefits YOU: - Reviewed 1,000+ resumes, I know what works and what gets rejected in 6 seconds - Mastered ATS systems (Applicant Tracking Systems) that screen 75% of applications - Conducted 500+ interviews across Tech, Finance, HR, Marketing and Operations roles - Partnered with hiring managers to understand exactly what they scan for in candidates - Managed recruitment across multiple countries and time zones (diverse experience) - Created compelling job descriptions and candidate profiles Why this makes me different: Most resume writers have never actually HIRED anyone. I've hired hundreds. I know the insider secrets that get you past screening and into interviews.
