You’ve got the experience. You’ve done the work. But your resume isn’t getting past the initial screen at employers like the State of Michigan, Michigan State University, and Auto-Owners Insurance, and you’re watching less qualified candidates land interviews you should be getting.
The truth is, most resumes written by job seekers focus on responsibilities instead of results. They’re formatted in ways that confuse applicant tracking systems. And they fail to position you as the obvious choice for the role you want.
Most Lansing employers run every application through an ATS before a human ever sees it. If your resume isn’t built for those systems, it’s getting filtered out regardless of your qualifications.

After 12 years in state government, I wanted to transition to the private sector but had no idea how to translate my experience. VMS helped me reframe my policy and program management background in a way that made sense to corporate hiring managers. I landed a senior operations role within six weeks.
When my position at MSU was eliminated due to budget cuts, I wasn’t sure where to start. Joel understood the higher ed landscape and helped me position my research administration experience for both university and private sector roles. I had three offers within two months.
As a VP in the insurance industry, I needed someone who understood executive hiring and could position me for C-suite conversations. The resume and LinkedIn work VMS delivered opened doors I didn’t expect. I’m now a Chief Operating Officer.
