What Our Customers Are Saying
I wanted to let you know that in an interview today (large project management /consulting firm), I was complimented on the quality of my resume. The interviewer said it was one of the best he’s seen...I thought you should know what an impact your work is making in my career search...
Now that the search is over, I want you to know that I have had more responses to my resume in the last 3 months than at any other time in my career. I have had multiple responses to cold call mailings. (a ten-fold increase over previous cold job searches)... Excellent!! I am a faithful supporter of your work.
Hi Michelle: hope you are well. Just a head’s up that I’ve referred about 10 people from Xxxxxxx to you. Hope a few turned into clients. I never let you know that thanks to your services I was ‘one for one’ — one resume sent, one interview, and one job offer! That’s all it took! Happy holidays.

WHAT OUR TEMPLATE USERS SAY
Appearances matter, even with the written word, and how a document looks can make an immediate impact on the decision to read it or toss it aside. I train and mentor many excellent resume writers who have mastered the art of crafting highly effective resume content, but who lack the basic MS Word skills to create eye-catching, ATS compatible and uniquely branded documents. Distinctive Templates are the perfect solution for easily transforming well-written content into works of art that capture attention, generate interest, and motivate the recipient to read every word.
When I was starting out with resume writing a little over a year ago, one of the most intimidating aspects was visual design of resumes. I didn’t want to have to learn graphic design to stand out—and with these templates, I didn’t need to! I was a little hesitant at first because I thought the templates might be too rigid or generic. In actuality, they are incredibly flexible and easy to play around with. I can customize any template with my client’s favorite colors in just two clicks—which means they never look exactly the same, even if I use them for multiple clients. Using the templates means I can just do what I do best—write—and then plug the text right into the appropriate section. It saves me literal HOURS of work and hassle. One of the best parts about purchasing from Michelle is that she is extremely responsive to questions. There’s a private Facebook group where she records screen share tutorials about how to switch up certain elements in the templates, and she’s always been responsive to my emailed questions. My clients are completely thrilled with the unique, modern design of their resume, and I’m thrilled that I’m saving time and don’t have to learn graphic design!
I love Michelle’s resume templates! The designs are eye-catching and easy to use. I highly recommend these templates for anyone who finds that designing a creative, contemporary formatted resume is a challenge. They’re a huge time-saver.
I used the “Pivot” template to create a combination functional/chronological resume for my first big client. Her words when she saw the finished product: “THIS IS AMAZING!” I’m a writer, not a designer. My resumes aren’t unprofessional, but they needed a “wow” factor – and now they have it. Thank you, Michelle, for offering such affordably priced tools!
While I primarily write resumes from scratch for each of my clients, I have also used Michelle’s templates and received great feedback. I find the templates are especially helpful to organize my thinking for those clients who have an overabundance of important information that still must fit in an ATS-friendly, 2-page format without looking cluttered or disorganized.
Michelle, your templates are wonderful! You are so creative, and I especially love the templates for specialized career industries! I just used Global Impact for an executive with extensive global work and living experience, Driving Growth for a successful sales director, and Agricultural Edge for a seasoned landscape professional — they all absolutely loved the unique, contemporary look of their new resumes. Thank you so much for providing this service within our industry. You are so talented, and I greatly appreciate our connection and the creativity your templates bring to my client engagements!
