Daniel is not only a great person to deal with but also has impeccable advice on how to generate a wonderful CV. I recently started a new role at Meta. When I was working on my CV application, I went back to the advice that Daniel gave me to make my CV both succinct and unique and it definitely gave me that extra edge during the application process. I highly recommend Daniel if you're looking for advice on improving your CV!

A few months ago I discovered a job I felt would be the perfect shift I was looking for in my career. Enter Daniel, who helped me to reformat my CV to highlight my experiences to make them relevant to the job I was applying for. Not only did I get the job, but I have also progressed within the company and am incredibly pleased with the change. When it comes to a turn or redirection in a person's professional life, a good CV is key, but so is a vote of confidence that one is making the right choice and is capable of such a change. Daniel provided both a solid help in reworking my CV, but also the encouragement to help push me towards a change I needed.

What stood out most was Daniel’s passion for his craft and the personalized approach he takes. He made me feel like I was his only client, dedicating the time and care to really understand my background and how best to present it. The live collaboration over Zoom added an extra personal touch that made the process not only productive but enjoyable.
If you’re looking for someone who blends expertise with genuine care for your success, I highly recommend Daniel.

Thanks to that foundation, I landed a top role at LinkedIn within four months of our engagement.

Thank you for helping me get my dream job at Netflix! I had been having awful luck getting responses to job applications so I decided to contract Dan’s services. He helped curate not just a resume, but an overall self branding strategy, tailored to my actual experiences and strengths. We had several sessions in which we went through my work history, personal interests and success metrics in past positions. After a few meetings we had built a resume that accurately represented the story of who I am and how I got here (note: I’m self taught, and had been afraid to mention this in the past, and he gave me the confidence to not just be up front about this, but to incorporate it into my core brand). After reapplying with my new resume I received interviews from multiple FAANG companies, and eventually scored my dream job at Netflix.

"It's rare to come across such professional talent like Daniel. I had the pleasure of working with Dan to revamp my CV and cover letter to start 2020 fresh. Before my personal deadline, I found a fantastic role that I just had to apply to. I reached out to Dan to express the urgency of getting my cover letter to the hiring manager as soon as possible and he came to my rescue. He dug deep into my experience and goals to craft a stellar cover letter that led to an interview.
My experiences have been far from linear so I was particularly impressed by Daniel's ability to find seemingly "hidden" links between my various roles. No matter how specific my requests were, Daniel always dissected them and offered sound advice.
I would highly recommend Daniel's services if you are looking for a top-notch professional writer that caters to your unique needs."

Daniel was professional and very helpful in helping me create my next professional resume, but also interpreting my skills and experiences for the goals I had in mind. He was also very helpful in helping me understand the process as well as what recruiters or organizations are looking for, giving me skills that I can use in the near future.

"In September I had a meeting with Daniel and he transformed my resume into a complete and accurate reflection of my somewhat non-linear career path. Months after our meeting, Daniel messaged me with a link to a job offer that he thought I would be interested in based on our discussions. Come November, I've just landed the job of my dreams. What I thought would be a one-time fee for resume building turned into a mutual, lasting professional relationship. The fact that Daniel kept sending me job applications and tips weeks after our meeting shows that he really cares about his clients and their success."

Working with Daniel helped me find words to describe what I do! I have found navigating the world of freelance (carving my niche) to be quite challenging, and writing an "about me" has felt excruciatingly awkward. Dan, ever the wordsmith, whipped up an "about me" that feels eloquent and accurate, which ultimately helped me craft my freelance business offering. I would recommend working with Dan to anyone who is trying to find words to express what they do!

It was time for a LinkedIn profile revamp; I wanted to drop the corporate tone that didn’t represent me for one with more personality and personal voice. I was a hands-on client, I knew what I wanted but didn’t know how to get there. Daniel guided me through our collaboration, editing my words, refining his work, and making sure I was happy with the final product. He was a pleasure to work with, very attentive, available, open to feedback, and efficient!

I contacted Dan to get help with revising my entire resume. Not only was he super helpful, but he was also patient and communicative throughout the whole process. The process itself was extremely simple -- send Dan my current resume, my goals, and my LinkedIn profile and then find a time to workshop it all together. I did really appreciate that we were able to workshop the resume together. He did most of the work and wordsmithing, but he always took my considerations into account. I definitely recommend his assistance!

"Having Daniel on your team is undeniably an asset, even if you are a writer yourself. Nothing like having an eloquent voice help shape a document as significant as your own CV. The whole writing process with Daniel was useful as it shone a light on aspects of your achievements you would never have even considered noteworthy. He has no qualms telling you to pack that one achievement you thought was so cool away. Good riddance to bad clutter. In short, he allows you to take an unbiased look at your career, put it on paper, and renew confidence in the arduous battle that is finding a job. I do hope that with Daniel's CV writing talent, I will finally stumble upon my Excalibur."
