INTERVIEWS AND OFFERS AND PAY INCREASES, OH MY! KISS THOSE REJECTION EMAILS GOODBYE.
My heart aches for you because I’ve been right where you are now.
You’re a promotion-ready powerhouse who, despite having above-average skills, still struggles to market your expertise and command a top-dollar salary.
You've been repeatedly passed over for higher-paying positions even when you’re the most qualified candidate for the job.
You run circles around your coworkers (and supervisors), but your paycheck doesn’t reflect it.
You doom scroll on social media for hours, sifting through by advice from influencers—and none of the tricks and hacks have worked for you.
Yet, you know deep in your soul there just has to be a way to make the kind of money you wholeheartedly deserve.
ARE YOU HESITANT TO APPLY FOR HIGHER-PAYING POSITIONS OR PROMOTIONAL OPPORTUNTIES?
Jon, Regional Operations Director
“With Ashley's help, I’ve been able to increase my salary by over 70% compared to what I was earning before meeting her. She is a true professional and she’s the best at what she does!”
It’s time to conquer your fear of rejection.
Say goodbye to:
-
Dreading the need to tailor your resume to each role and struggling to quantify your achievements because you have no idea where to start.
-
Not being able to interpret job postings, identify relevant keywords, or infuse relevant competencies into your resume.
-
Feeling overwhelmed because you’re not good at marketing yourself or communicating your value on paper.
GET PAID YOUR WORTH WITH THE SKILLS YOU ALREADY HAVE!
Hey there!
I’m Ashley Watkins Thomas, your job search and resume writing coach.
As a corporate recruiter, I've hired top talent for national nonprofits and multimillion-dollar companies in banking and manufacturing industries.
Before launching Write Step Resumes, I was at a point where I let feelings of self-doubt, defeat, and frustration hold me back in my career.
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. I chose to listen to that little devil on my shoulder who told me my career dreams were impossible instead of claiming what was mine because I was worth it.
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 job change.
Since launching my resume writing business, I’ve amassed a catalog of accomplishments, including:
-
2019 LinkedIn Top Voice: Job Search & Careers
-
Jobscan’s Top 15 LinkedIn Job Search Experts to Follow in 2019 & 2023
-
Nationally Certified Resume Writer and Nationally Certified Online Profile Expert designations
-
30+ features in major publications – HuffPost, NY Times, The Washington Post
-
2022 TORI (Toast of the Resume Industry) Award + 2023 TORI competition judge
Now, I help emerging leaders overcome the worry, self-pity, and stress of their job search so they don't struggle like I did.
Writing an effective resume is a challenge for many, but it doesn’t have to be.
Whether you're a looking for career growth, seeking a career change, or simply wanting to improve your resume-writing skills, this course covers it all in a 7-step strategy.
I designed the Resume Reboot™ resume writing course to teach emerging leaders to write interview-winning resumes that land 6-figure roles at Fortune 500 brands.
