Award-Winning Resume Writer and Personal Branding Strategist

Hi, I’m Meg Applegate.

My love for all things words and career started when I sat down with my dad as an overwhelmed high school student to write my first resume. His guidance was simple:

How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.

I take the same approach as your guide through the resume writing process in bite-size modules without the stress. It’s time to hush your inner critic and take back your time as you create a high performing resume that exudes your one-of-a-kind value and opens doors.

  • “Two different position interviews and one offer later, I increased my income by $27K and my benefits are phenomenal! With a fear of changing industries of over 13 years and being stuck in a position that offered no room for growth, I now have so many more opportunities because of Meg’s help"

    - Events & Marketing Specialist

  • “Thank you for the [resume] help! I just signed an offer letter and scored the biggest raise of my life!”

    - Senior Sales Account Manager

  • “I did not have the tools to know where to begin and I was afraid I would make a mistake. Since Meg’s coaching, I am confident that my resume is competitive because I landed an interview after implementing her feedback. It was worth the investment to let Meg do what she does best so that I can focus on what I do best.”
