Let’s be honest: job hunting is stressful. Between applications, interviews and trying to decode job ads that read like a riddle, the last thing you want to worry about is whether your resume is letting you down.
That’s where working with an experienced — and yes, award-winning — resume writer can make a real difference.
This year, I was honoured to win two Toast of the Résumé Industry (TORI) Awards, run by Career Directors International. If you haven’t heard of the TORIs before, think of them as the resume world’s equivalent of ‘Hey, you’re doing pretty great work’.
Here’s what that means for you.
What’s a TORI Award, and Why Does It Matter?
The Toast of the Résumé Industry Awards (TORIs) recognise the best resume writing across the globe. Writers submit samples in categories such as executive resumes, career change resumes, visual resume design and LinkedIn profiles. A panel of seasoned, very picky judges reviews everything anonymously.
Winning a TORI means the work doesn’t just look good — it meets a high bar for storytelling, clarity, strategy and design.
For clients, it’s a simple reassurance: you’re in capable hands.
I’m Proud to Have Won Two TORI Awards This Year
This year I took home awards in:
It’s a huge honour — not only because the competition is fierce, but because every project I submit starts with a real client trusting me with their career story.
Why Work With a TORI Award–Winning Resume Writer?
Good question. A polished resume is great, but that’s only part of the picture. Here’s what you actually get:
1. A Resume That Sounds Like You (On a Really Good Day)
No robotic buzzwords. No copy-and-paste job descriptions. I help you tell your story clearly and confidently.
2. Strategy, Not Guesswork
Every resume I create is tailored around your goals — whether that’s stepping into leadership, shifting industries or landing a role with more scope.
3. ATS-Friendly and Human-Friendly
Hiring systems need keywords. Humans need context. You’ll get both, without compromising readability.
4. Clean, Modern Design
TORI judges care about layout and clarity — and so do hiring managers. Your resume will look sharp without feeling over-engineered.
5. Genuine Collaboration
I ask questions, dig into your achievements and work with you to uncover the good stuff you can’t always see in yourself.
What Clients Usually See After Working Together
Here’s the (very encouraging) pattern:
- More interview call-backs
- More confidence when hitting ‘Submit’
- Recruiters taking notice
- Better alignment with roles that suit your strengths
- A clearer understanding of your own value
A strong resume doesn’t just get you in the door — it supports your whole job search strategy.
