I had the very good fortune of crossing paths with Cindy King of King Wordsmith in 2013 as I began searching for a new employer and pivoting my career to financial services from education counseling. My situation was unique in that I had been fortunate to be employed with a company for 18 years, never having the need to draft a resume, and this is where Cindy proved invaluable. Over the course of my 18 years, I had received numerous performance awards, terrific annual reviews, and had a large network of colleagues and students who provided recommendations of my good service. The problem was I had a box of documents and no clear idea of what was important or even where to start.

From our first meeting, and subsequent meetings, Cindy was able to turn 18 years of achievements into an impactful resume that resulted in more than one offer of employment. I cannot say enough good things about the experience I had working with Cindy and have recommended her services to many colleagues and friends, and will continue to do so.

I have known Cindy King for more than ten years and have had the pleasure of using her resume services twice: once for a law enforcement promotional process and the other to update the original resume in preparation for a career change to the private sector. Cindy is an amazing person. Besides being an excellent writer, she has tremendous people skills and is very easy to work with. She is conscientious about the needs of her clients and constantly delivers on her professional service. Cindy has a unique style of creating resumes that are exceptionally detailed and visually appealing. While I have seen many different types of resumes throughout my professional career, I could not be more pleased with Cindy’s services as I truly believe her work is a “masterpiece.” Vince C.

I (first) found Cindy in 2007 while searching online for help in writing my resume. She turned my rather simplistic and lightly written resume into a strong and professionally written resume, while staying true to my personality, skills, and strengths. I was offered a very good job soon after I received my new resume from Cindy, and was with that company for three years. I needed to leave that job to take care of personal/family matters for several years, and recently sought out Cindy again for help in updating my resume with my new situation as I reenter the job market. I also wanted a well-written cover letter.

Cindy had stayed in my mind all of these years. She is very easy to work with and is an excellent writer. She keeps things simple and true, while making sure she emphasizes strengths, abilities, and positive attributes. She is very intuitive with individuals and I believe this greatly attributes to her success as she takes into account the style and personality of an individual; that becomes reflected in the resume and cover letter.

Cindy is a good listener and takes all suggestions into account. She has given me excellent advice about how to use references. She “gets it” easily; I have never needed to over-explain myself or my needs to her. My updated resume and cover letter look great and are an honest representation of myself. Cindy is in the right field, no doubt, and I will continue to call on her with any future resume needs I may have.
