I highly recommend Mary. She was able to help me decide what type of resume I needed and then quickly consolidate my vast work experience and produce a high quality executive resume. She is very patient and I’m very satisfied with her results.

– Vivek T, Technology Lead

Mary took my outdated resume and created a masterpiece. She highlighted my skills with key terms and the final product was amazing. I highly recommend using Resume Assassin and I will work with Mary again if I need any updates.


– Mark V, Location Demand Planner

My resume was long overdue for a revamp and Mary did such a fantastic job creating an impactful and concise picture of my sales background that allowed for me to better stand out amongst the crowd. I accepted a new position 2 months after she sent me my resume, so that has to count for something! Quick turnaround time and professional consultation. Highly recommend her for your resume needs!


-Jeff W, Ultrasound Account Executive

It was a great pleasure working with Mary. As I began to explore more targeted management roles, I felt my resume required more than the casual update. Mary’s experience, focus and attention to detail on what I was looking for more than paid off. I highly recommend Mary to anyone looking to advance their career.


Brian B, Director of Data Science

I hired Mary to revamp my resume and LinkedIn profile. Mary made this process very easy and exceeded my expectations! I was very impressed with every element of her process – from the way she collected information from me to the way she ensured my resume and my LinkedIn profile complimented one another. I highly recommend Mary to anyone who is looking for resume help! Thanks, Mary!


Tessa B, Business Owner

Mary did a great job updating my resume and cover letter. She was responsive, easy to work with and fast. The original information that I gave her was upgraded to sound more professional and included key words for computer searches. I recommended Mary to several friends.


Monica W, Territory Manager

Mary and her talent for writing came to my attention through a coach/writer I have worked with for the past 10 years. Mary’s response to all my inquiries was immediate, within 24 hours. Her turnaround time was faster than I expected it would be. The product I received was an updated, word-rich text that pulled my skills and experience from the shadows to be presented more professionally than I had created on my own. Mary is experienced in writing resumes for my profession so I wasn’t surprised her work was thorough and robust. There is nothing that concerns me about recommending Mary to anyone. The work and product was a great value for the cost and her approachability and professionalism was spot on.


Kelly R, Global Human Resources Executive

Contacted Mary following getting let go on a contract position. I was in need of a makeover to my resume to highlight my skills and narrow my job search to jobs most suited to my skills. Mary made the process simple from intake to payment to getting draft copy back. I’m happy to report that within two weeks I had several interviews and was selected for a job that I am happily at.


NIkenson P, Senior Business Analyst

Mary has been instrumental during my recent job search. Before working with Mary, my resume was barely getting any traction in the job market. Mary came in and did a complete remodel of my Resume and has now gotten me much more attention from companies. I have gotten multiple interviews ever since and am confident that I will land something very soon. Mary doesn’t just stop at rebuilding your resume. She provides tips on how to fix up your LinkedIn account and also score big in your interview. Definitely a 10/10 experience


Sukhjit B, Cybersecurity Analyst

After applying to countless jobs with my personally written resumes and hearing nothing back I began looking for a resume writer in Austin that could make some tweaks to my resume to get a data analyst role. I found Mary after seeing she had numerous 5 star reviews on several different review platforms and reached out for her first tier of resume writing services. After getting my rewrite back from Mary within a week I had requests for interviews, one of which lead a series of interviews for the non-profit where I was hired as a Senior Data Analyst which offered a 35% increase in compensation from my last role. Mary is professional, affordable, prompt, and excels at tweaking resumes to get better results from applicant tracking systems.


Jeff C, Senior Data Analyst

I had trouble showcasing and highlighting my relevant experience and skill set for my dream company. I reached out to Mary for guidance, and I’m delighted that I did. Mary was able to provide services uniquely tailored so that I could land my dream job. I received numerous accolades in regards to my resume and LinkedIn profile. I am happy to say that I am now a Cybersecurity Analyst II with Microsoft. None of this would have been possible without Mary’s assistance in marketing my achievements, skill set, and experience at a high level.


Chris C, Cybersecurity Analyst

My experience with Mary exceeded all expectations. We had multiple discussions about what I was looking for from her services and she quickly reviewed my resume and communicated to me what it needed. She provided me a timeline to complete and completed the resume update way ahead of schedule. My updated Resume now draws attention and provides a clear picture of my career. It is organized and form. After looking at Mary’s version and my version, her work was far superior and has already provided me more call backs and interviews. I highly recommend Mary and Resume Assassin.


Kyle C, Project Manager

Mary did an incredible, thoughtful, and quick job on my two resumes. I absolutely recommend her and would definitely go with her again. Her help got me interviews with many companies who were not responding before. A+++

Do not miss the opportunity to tap into Mary’s proven talent! Dan Barnhart, CEO America Grip LLC MAJOR US Army Austin, TX


Dan B, CEO

Mary is awesome. After years of working at the same company I was ready to explore new opportunities and take on new challenges, and updating my resume was the first major obstacle to that goal. Mary really helped me rewrite and refresh my stale old resume and get it ready for today’s job market. I can’t tell you how wonderful it was to work with a resume writer of Mary’s experience, speed and professionalism. She not only helped me focus on the things that mattered most in describing my career experience and accomplishments, she helped me format it in a way that potential employers and managers could quickly absorb it and understand my unique qualifications at a glance — both on the page and on LinkedIn. Mary provided a framework that I could tweak, refine and ultimately personalize to communicate with employers and colleagues in my field. I can’t recommend her enough. Hire Mary if you want to change your life and advance your career. You’ll still need to do the work, you’ll still need to pass the interviews and be the best candidate for the job… but you’ll never miss an opportunity because your resume or LinkedIn profile wasn’t professional, clearly written or easy to understand.


Andrew H, Product Marketing Manager

My summary of my transaction with Mary is: SO EASY! I needed two resumes in 2019 and each one was created in a very quick and professional manner. I was a difficult customer! However, Mary delivered so graciously, so excellently! I was difficult because of four things. 1) I have 35 years of experience. 2) I am changing professions and rebranding. 3) I am a writer and picky. 4) I needed a very quick turnaround time. Each of these high hurdles were cleared by Mary with graciousness and A++++ service. Here’s how: 1) My 35 years of experience were showcased in such a way that any employer searching for a candidate with that title could see what he or she was looking for in about 45 seconds. 2) Mary highlighted the experience in such a way that it surprised even me (“Wow. You’re right. I did do all that!”). 3) The writing was immaculate; I was able to make a few little changes myself in keeping with AP Style. 4) The turnaround time was much faster than I anticipated. Both resumes garnered calls from the recruiting managers!
