Daniel has been a great contributor to IE Exponential Learning during the time he worked with all of us. In particular, he has been of particular assistance to me to learn the tools and tricks to use social media (internal and external) in a more agile and effective way.

"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 is a total resume writing WONK and was extremely focused on making sure my experience was showcased clearly, accurately, and succinctly while giving it a little touch of panache via active verbs etc. The process made me feel more confident about the potential to switch sectors and to level up in my career.

Daniel and I had been aiming to work together for quite some time, so it was a treat to sit down and speak with him as a professional and as another immigrant with ample international experience. These shared experiences allowed us to work quickly and effectively at tuning my resume, which now reflects my most dynamic skills and creates a forward-facing vision of how I'd like my career to look.

Every few years I look for someone to update and polish the content and presentation of my resume and LinkedIn profile. Daniel is the best of all the writers I have worked with. He is a patient listener, quick to understand the message I'm trying to communicate, and a business-focused insight and ability with language that made my resume and background more current and relevant. He combines this with a complete understanding of how to use LinkedIn that puts an emphasis on my strengths and skills

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."

I was looking for a professional resume writer and I found one in the last place that I thought to look: Reddit.com. 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.

Daniel is excellent at his craft and takes the pressure off of you to be a resume expert. Instead, he asks you questions about your experiences. Daniel will work with you to understand the nuances of your industry/roles. He is a great thought partner who brings out the best version of your own voice through his writing. Daniel is not only a master of content but formatting and design as well and will really make your resume stand out at first glance.

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!

I wanted to revise my resume and my son Christian had hired Daniel and I was impressed with Christian's resume. I hired Daniel and we worked together to create a new and greatly improved resume that truly depicts my career experiences. Daniel did magic with 'words' that describe exactly who I am and my professional experiences. Daniel has my strong recommendation.

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.

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.

"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."
