"Keeping up-to-date with résumé writing trends and knowledge is how I make sure you get a résumé that works for you."

Dorothy Keenan

Résumé Writer and Outplacement Consultant

Moving your career forward is rewarding yet challenging. For the last 25 years, I have been helping individuals in a broad cross-section of the labour force navigate the sometimes rocky waters of finding fulfilling work.

I have worked with over 5,000 professionals seeking employment in diverse industries–technology, science, gaming, trades, finance, biotech, manufacturing, warehouse, and administration–and have connected with over 3,000 employers. In doing so, I have gained a solid understanding of the needs of British Columbia’s dynamic labour force. I advise and coach individuals from all professional backgrounds and experience levels on résumés, LinkedIn profiles, and cover letters to enable them to advance in their careers.

I have assisted C-suite, mid-career, early career, and end of career job seekers in finding their path. Continually seeking the most up-to-date local and global trends on careers and the labour market, sharing that information with job seekers, and leveraging my extensive network of employers, I’m able to help clients find their dream job. I look forward to helping you take charge of your career destiny.

If you are struggling with what to do next, consider taking a career assessment that can be customized to meet your specific needs. I offer a variety of career assessments, including Myer Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), Strong Interest Inventory and Retirement Options. These assessments, combined with my extensive labour market knowledge, will help you determine your next steps in your career.

I look forward to chatting.
