About

With 9+ years as a hiring manager and 1500+ clients under my belt, I'm on a mission to help professionals flourish in their careers by building a brand around what they're good at and enjoy doing! I help them identify their interests and develop a plan to hone in on those skills in their careers. As a career coach and resume writer, I approach clients' career development by defining and combining their personal branding with their career field. I produce resumes, cover letters, and LinkedIn profiles that are marked by their consistency, infusion of keywords, and unique formatting, which allow my clients to stand out. When I'm not working you can typically find me binging on a Netflix series, traveling, or playing with my K9 best friend, a Boston Terrier named Blaize. I enjoy doing puzzles and tending to my plants. I'm also an avid Michigan Football fan, so I'm sure you can guess where my fall Saturdays are spent. Feel free to reach out, whether it's just to chat or to inquire about the services I offer. Check out more about LRC @ www.layfieldresume.com or reach out to me at [email protected]
