You’ve got the experience. You’ve done the work. But your resume isn’t getting past the initial screen, and you’re watching less qualified candidates land interviews you should be getting.

I was making a career change from manufacturing into tech and had no idea how to translate my experience. VMS helped me reframe my background and I got multiple offers within a month.
As a VP navigating an unexpected transition, I needed someone who understood executive hiring. The resume and LinkedIn optimization VMS provided positioned me perfectly for board-level conversations.
After three months of applying with no responses, I worked with VMS. Within two weeks of using my new resume, I had four interviews scheduled. Joel understood exactly how to position my healthcare background.
