“I can't say enough about the exceptional support she provided, which helped me land my dream job! Her coaching style is naturally inspiring, leaving your feeling empowered to push beyond your traditional approach to highlighting your professional experiences, networking and interviewing."
ALRIGHT NOW. WATCH WHO YOU'RE TALKING TO!
High achievers who’ve hit a career plateau or face limited promotional opportunities tend to talk down on themselves. Despite their accomplishments, many find it difficult to pinpoint their career growth goals, confidently communicate their value, and negotiate lucrative salaries. They can visualize what they desire but fall short when it’s time to make a move and grab hold of their career destiny.
If these statements sound familiar, it’s time for transformation:
-
"I deserve better than this." You recognize your value and feel your salary, recognition, and rewards should reflect the excellence of your contributions.
-
"I guess I can hold out in this position until I retire." You feel trapped in a role that doesn’t offer growth opportunities and use retirement as an excuse to stick it out a little longer.
-
"No one notices my hard work, but I’m running circles around my peers." You feel invisible and unappreciated. You question how your skills, qualifications, and worth are overlooked when you’ve consistently performed at a high level.
-
"It’s time to do something different." You finally realize that change is necessary but tense up when it’s time to present your expertise and personal brand to land a new role.
Negative self-talk erodes your confidence and interferes with you reaching your maximum career potential.
I know because I’ve been there a time or two in my career, too. I know firsthand how isolating and soul-sucking career searching can be.
In my Resign by Design™ group coaching program, I teach promotion-ready professionals how to escape unfulfilling careers and build profitable brands that land 6-figure leadership roles in 12 weeks or less. The best part is, you can secure a role you enjoy without getting another degree or certification.
“I knew I found the right coach. Ashley doesn't tell you want you want to hear - she tells you what you *need* to hear. She helps you understand the current recruiting climate and provides expert coaching that builds confidence. This week I started a new job; an opportunity of a lifetime.
Mary, Regional Director of Marketing and Communications
MEET ASHLEY, YOUR JOB SEARCH COACH
Hey there!
I’m Ashley Watkins Thomas, your dedicated job search and resume writing coach.
As a corporate recruiter, I've hired top talent for national nonprofits and multimillion-dollar companies in the banking and manufacturing industries.
Before launching Write Step Resumes, I can't tell you how many promotions I let pass me by. My degree, years of experience, and achievements didn't matter because I didn't know how great I was back then.
Even as a recruiter, I struggled to reach my career goals. I was skipped over and rejected until I formulated a job search plan that got my resume in front of decision makers, produced multiple interviews, and boosted my salary $14K-$20K with each career change.
Since launching my job search coaching business, I’ve amassed a catalog of accomplishments, including:
-
2X LinkedIn Top Voice
-
2X Jobscan’s Top 15 LinkedIn Job Search Experts to Follow
-
Nationally Certified Resume Writer and Nationally Certified Online Profile Expert designations
-
30+ features in major publications – HuffPost, NY Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal
-
2022 TORI (Toast of the Resume Industry) Award + 2023 TORI competition judge
Now, I help emerging and senior leaders overcome the worry, self-pity, and stress of their job search so they don't struggle like I did.
If you're looking for career growth, pivoting into a new industry, or simply wanting to maximize your job search results, the Resign by Design™ group coaching program covers it all in just 12 weeks.
Jon, Regional Operations Director

The Resign by Design™ group coaching program delivers real, measurable outcomes—helping you conquer your fear of an oversaturated, competitive market and command a top-dollar salary with the skillset you already have.
“Ashley is the definition of a true partner. She provides best practices and resources to ensure clients are prepared to pursue the next level of their careers. Working with her is more than a resume; it is a reflection of your accomplishments and your path forward. Her exceptional resume and interview coaching knowledge helped me secure a position that pays six figures. Yes...100% WFH!”
