Resume Writing

Our resumes have tripled people's salaries, upleveled careers of all kinds, and generated job offers in the toughest of economies.


We'll Get You Callbacks

Now more than ever, you need to stand out.

Job applications are coming in by the hundreds, even thousands, per week. With the combination of Gen AI, LinkedIn's easy-apply model, a global applicant pool, seemingly never-ending layoffs, tranches of government workers fleeing their posts, and the accelerated pace of networking... HR and hiring managers are receiving an unprecedented amount of resumes.

If they spent 10 seconds reviewing your resume before, now they're spending 3 (and that's if the bots let you through).


You Have To Be Your Best

Our clients are still getting jobs.

They're getting interviews, getting promoted, and getting pay increases, while others are getting passed up.

AI isn't cutting it. Talk to anyone in HR and they'll tell you they can spot an AI-originated resume from a mile away. They don't trust them because they can't see you; they only see keywords in grammatically correct sentences. And that's not good enough.


Tell Your Story In Its Entirety

A successful resume is a lot of work.

It's meticulously thought out, every line crafted to support the goal, every achievement irresistible to read and easy to digest.

But it doesn't have to be a chore. We've designed a cathartic process of rediscovering your strengths, talents, and achievements through an in-depth, guided review of your career. We will catch what you've forgotten, overlooked, or undervalued. We got you.


Get Back To Where You Should Be

We've elevated the lives and careers of thousands of people.

We know how to impress hiring managers and we've beaten the bots at the most sought-after companies in the world.

"I not only managed to get an interview, I landed the position! My only wish is that I had done this sooner!" --Jen N., Healthcare


Our Resumes Change The Game

We love figuring out how to get people excited about you! Whether you're coming through a non-linear, non-traditional career path, facing seemingly insurmountable work-history challenges, or seeking to take your career (and salary) to the next level, we're the best resource you're going to find.

"I was told by the employer I was interviewing with that it was the best resume he had ever seen.
I agree." --Julie B., Fashion Exec

Launch Your Career

After so many years in the business, we still love working with students and graduates. As most resume businesses gain notoriety, they narrow their client base down to senior executives. We know we'd be missing out if we followed that trend.

You have a brand-new set of skills, tons of energy and ideas, and maybe some extracurriculars (or maybe not). You've taken your own unique path through school – you know you've got something – but you're not sure what it is or how to get it down on paper.

Team Up With An Expert

With all his experience working in career centers at community colleges, universities, and vocational schools, Cliff knows where you're coming from. And, because he's coached so many seasoned professionals deeper into their careers, he knows what lies ahead for you.

Learn What You're Made Of

We'll help you dig through your personal, academic, and limited professional experience to reveal achievements you may have overlooked. School is often much more than class time. We know exactly how to present unpaid projects, papers, clubs, memberships, assistantships, research, awards, honors, and interests so you'll be recognized as a qualified job candidate with a bright future. If you don't have any of those things to show, we have an answer for that as well.

You've put in the time. Now, let's make you shine.

Make Them See You

You're an expert in your field. There are things you do better than others around you. When you're at your best, time disappears and work gets done almost without thought. In fact, you've done so much over the years, it's hard to be sure you've remembered everything. How do you get it all down on paper, and in a way that truly reflects your best self?

Go A Bit Deeper

Our resume process doubles as a mini-career-coaching session: we'll guide you in remembering your greatness, and point you to the stuff that really matters. You'll gain confidence, feel more authentic, and interview better. And then, we'll build a resume that will represent you accurately and in the best light possible.

Your new Professional Resume may include an overarching branding statement that zeroes in on what you have to offer, a keyword-rich competencies section, impact statements that quantify and qualify your contributions, achievement-oriented bullet points, training and development highlights, and transferable skills. We know all the latest resume trends and we've helped people in just about every industry.

Be Your Best

There is no work history challenge we can't overcome. Indeed, we welcome complicated stories. We'll find the line and build a new narrative that invokes connection and invites inquiry.

sample technical resumes

Crack Silicon Valley's Code

Cliff got his start as a technical recruiter, working with hundreds of hiring managers all over the Bay Area for 4 crazy years. He learned what HR screeners and hiring managers want, and coached clients on catering their stories to these decision-makers' desires. It's not about spin. It's about substance.

Get Past The Gatekeepers

We need to develop the right balance of deep technical accomplishments and colloquial storytelling to please both your boss-to-be and the gatekeeping HR guards (not to mention those keyword-hungry, resume-scanning robots).

Work With A Tech Enthusiast

We partner well with STEM professionals. In fact, we've teamed up with some Engineering groups in the area and picked up an award for Best Technical Resume, in addition to our "World's Best Resume Writer" title from Career Directors International.

A large majority of our clients are in Tech, which is just the way we like it. It's a pleasure to be part of such a rewarding field of innovators, doers, dreamers, and makers... people who create new pieces of reality every day.

Show Them What You Got

Your new Technical Resume will underscore your razor-sharp technical skills through readable yet jargon-laden achievement bullets; tech-oriented problem-solving stories; itemized lists of tools, software, and methods; relevant certifications and licenses; and often exhaustive technical addendums.

You will come off both technical and communicative. Your resume will stand out above the rest.

See How Far You've Come

If you're like most mid-career folks, you've simply been adding positions to your original resume, without addressing the fact that you've changed significantly over the years – as a leader, mentor, and expert. Your career has matured, but your resume likely hasn't.

Show Your Leadership

Management resumes have an extra layer of goodness to them because you're not only doing your own job, you're grooming and coordinating others to do their work. You're inspiring, you're corralling, you're building. This needs to be shared and celebrated.

Elements that we use in our Management Resume Service include callouts for team leadership and mentoring, side bars to showcase salient projects, and summaries encompassing management philosophy, career highlights, and/or breadth of responsibilities.  

Advance Your Career

Equipped with experience in resume writing, career counseling, and recruiting, we've guided tons of project and people managers in making meaningful transitions, expeditiously and confidently.

Let's reveal the real you and attract the position you've earned.

We Know Recruiters

If you're at the top of your game, recruiters are one of the best ways to get your resume shortlisted. A few words from a recruiter and, all of a sudden, you're a priority. You're the inside hire.

Spark Interest, Start Conversations

We have access to 30,000+ recruiters nationwide from a database that is updated weekly. Recruiters respond most enthusiastically to candidates who are already experts in their field and discipline, and who are pursuing job titles they've already held.

If this sounds like you, let us make an introduction with your resume and cover letter via email to generate interest from recruiters that specialize in your position type, industry expertise, and level of seniority.

We'll send you the contact information of each of these recruiters so you can follow up with them throughout your job search, even if they don't have a job for you right away.

Resume Formatting
$245


For those happy with their resume's content and strategy, but seeking to improve its overall appearance, layout, and design to underscore the appropriate content and ensure they stand out in their industry. Be proud to hand over your resume.

Look Good On Paper

An effective resume will truly make you look good on paper, which is why we've developed a finishing service focused entirely on perfecting the appearance of your document(s).

Start Off On The Right Foot

The appearance of your resume sets the stage for how the hiring manager is going to view you.

If your resume is pleasing to the eye at a glance, the screener will search for data that strengthens your candidacy. If your resume is confusing, cluttered, unbalanced, and amateurish, that same person will most likely begin looking for reasons to dismiss you.

Show Them What You Got

It's not merely about making a pretty document.

One-size-fits-all word processing templates and resume design services fail to take into consideration your unique constellation of strengths and weaknesses, nor do they address your audience's wish list.

A compelling resume format will direct the readers' eye to your most impressive qualifications and achievements. It will make it easy for them to find what they're looking for, which means you'll get placed in the YES pile more quickly.

Differentiate Yourself

The key is to start strong, with a quote, anecdote, success story, tag line, testimonial, branding statement, or blunt remark about your latest jaw-dropping accomplishment. We go beyond the resume's story to draw themes and patterns, mention soft skills, reframe shortcomings, and draw direct connections.

Keep Them Interested

We can be as traditional or unorthodox as you'd like, always keeping in line with the expectations of your industry and target audience.

An introduction is in order.

  • Steven C. via Yelp
    Great service. Fantastic result.
  • Natalie B. via Yelp
    I GOT THE JOB! I can't say enough about good things about Cliff and his staff.
  • K.H. via Yelp
    The effort Cliff puts in is obvious in the results compared to a more traditional writer's quick gloss and chop-shop kind of service, and in my view, is why its actually a true investment rather than a cheaper service.
  • Eileen M. via Yelp
    Cliff is an excellent listener and his team are consummate professionals. I've referred friends to BrightSide Resumes and recommend them without hesitation.
  • Eric S. via Yelp
    By all means if you're even thinking about your next step in your career, you should check BrightSide out.
  • Mimi J. via Yelp
    I can't say enough good things about working with Cliff and BrighSide Resumes. He's the best of the best in the business.
  • Honglian H. via Email
    The cover letter is such a great summary for my over 20 years of experience in my three positions. It touched me so much!
