At Vertical Media Solutions, we show up for work every day because we want to help job seekers market their skills and experience. Many of the people who come to us have valuable skills and experience but don’t know how to market themselves.
We make it our job to know everything possible about employment market trends, what hiring managers are looking for, and how to present your skills and experience to help you get the job you want.
Since 2007, we have taken what we learned through our executive search firm and applied it to our resume writing service. Our certified resume writers use the latest jobs data and best practices to write resumes and cover letters that go far beyond the task-oriented approach.
How We Got Started
The economic downturn that began in 2007 led us to create Vertical Media Solutions. Our core business of executive search had seen a sharp rise in the number of talented people struggling to find new jobs as their companies downsized. We recognized that many of these people were career professionals who had no clue how to write a great resume or market themselves to employers.
To help them out, we started a resume writing service that took a comprehensive, personalized approach with each job seeker. What was originally a tactical move to help displaced workers during the economic downturn, quickly became a significant part of our business. Over the past decade, our resume writing and career coaching services have helped our clients secure well over $200 million in salaries.

I highly recommend Joel and his Team's service for any individual who's going through a career transition and needs an experienced and insightful professional to create an engaging cover letter, résumé, LinkedIn profile development and/or interview preparation service.
Brenden R.
I contacted VMS to get my resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile updated since it had
been a while and I had limited knowledge of updating those things. They did a fantastic job of making everything look very professional.
Joel and Wilson were more than helpful with any questions I had and were very detailed with the whole process.
Everything went as smoothly as it possibly could and I can't thank Vertical Media Solutions enough for the work they did.
I would highly recommend them to anyone that needs help with their professional documents.

I just had the most amazing phone conversation with Joel at Vertical Media Solutions today and there is no question that he and his company are the go-to source for resume writing and career strategies. I am not even an official client (yet) and he took such an unexpected and generous amount of time talking with me. That definitely says a lot about how they want to get to know you as a client and how they intend to customize an action plan that will play to your ultimate strengths to apply for (and SECURE) a really great position. During our conversation, Joel asked a ton of introspective questions and provided A LOT of things for me to consider to get set on the right path to be a star candidate for my DREAM JOB. I found the fees quoted very reasonable and incredibly high-value based on today’s phone interaction alone. Joel was really quick to respond to my contact form inquiry as well out of the 3 places I reached out to after a Google search for resume writers in Michigan. Be sure to contact Joel and his team at Vertical Media Solutions if you are simply in thinking mode about making a career change or need to take your job / career search to the next level. They also offer interview coaching and career counseling (both of which I am also considering). Highly recommend! (I have no doubt you will, too.)
I was blown away with the incredible job Vertical Media Solutions did on my cover letter and resume. The whole process from start to finish was nice and smooth with great communication on their end. I was amazed with the way Wilson was able to take what I had filled out on the questionnaire and translate it into a professional format that I wouldn’t have been able to duplicate my; he truly is a magnificent wordsmith. They even put together a LinkedIn profile for me. You definitely get what you pay for, and then some! I highly recommend using Vertical Media Solutions.
Vertical Media Solutions is a great company! I found them while I was looking to update my resume. They are so helpful and have a great turnaround time when it comes to resumes; the resulting resumes turn out VERY professional! Also, the interview tips that I received were invaluable.

I had the opportunity to work with the team at Vertical Media Solutions before transitioning to a new position. Dean was very easy to work with and was able to put together an excellent resume very quickly. Not worrying about how my resume was representing me to employers was such a relief – they gave me a product that presented my qualifications in the best possible light. I would confidently recomend this company to others.
I am a recent college graduate, and relatively early on in my professional work experience. I reached out to VMS in order to gain some insight into how to set myself apart in the job application process. I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience that I had working with both Joel and Wilson. Joel took the time to thoroughly walk me through the process I would follow in working through a resume and cover letter. Then Wilson took me through the survey of my past experience and got to know everything that I have done in my work background. One of my favorite parts of the process is that VMS asks for some job areas that you are interested in so that they can tailor your documents to those job categories specifically! I would recommend VMS to anyone looking to improve their resume/cover letter and feel ready to find my next job with the documents I received.
I contacted VMS after nearly a decade with one organization. I was ready to create a new resume and get guidance on what recruiters do and do not want to see in a cover letter. After an initial call with Joel, I knew I wanted to work with them and fortunately they were willing to work with my tight deadline. As many of us will discover, writing about ourselves can be quite challenging and it’s easy to get stuck. The highly qualified and credentialed staff at VMS get to to know you and your goals and then focus in on the areas recruiters and hiring committees will be interested in. No less than three people take part in the process, making sure no opportunities to highlight your achievements are missed. It feels really good to speak with experts, answer the questions and let them take care of the hard part. When I received my resume and cover letter I was impressed to say the least (also embarrassed by my initial attempt at doing it on my own). Trust me, I’m not usually one to write reviews, but this service is worth it! I’m now confident in my resume and feel good sending it out. It highlights the contributions I’ve made to my employer in a clear and accurate way. Next up, interview coaching with VMS!
The staff at VMS helped improve the focus of my resume. They worked with me to uncover experience in current and past roles that I hadn’t thought about utilizing. They were always responsive to my questions and were very generous with their time.
Joel and Wilson take time to get to know you and what your goals are in regards to your future. This time then is represented in a resume that reflects exactly what your strengths are and allows for future employers to get a real sense of who you are and what you can do. I would recommend Vertical Media Solutions to anyone who is looking for help in acquiring their future dream job.
