About Me
As a multi-certified Executive Resume and LinkedIn Writer, I’ve helped job seekers around the globe tell their stories, make career changes and land interviews during great markets and tough ones – often for the first time in years – in record time.
I founded Virginia Franco Resumes years ago when recognizing my years of corporate communications, journalism and social work offered me a unique understanding of how people read, communicate and share information.
I’ve shared my philosophy on writing Executive Resumes and supporting career documents as host of the award-winning Resume Storyteller podcast, and in various publications and podcasts – including Forbes, Huffington Post, JobScan, Job-Hunt, Ivy Exec, Business2Community.com, Career Sidekick, MedReps, Career Cloud, Blue Steps and NotActivelyLooking.com.
My Credentials
I am proud to hold several industry certifications, that, together with my BS in Journalism from the University of Richmond (go Spiders!) and a Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Maryland, have given me the tools to write your story:
- 1 of <150 Executive Resume writers certified by the National Resume Writers Association as a NCRW (National Certified Resume Writer)
- One of 1st to earn the NRWA’s first NCOPE certification (Nationally Certified Online Professional Expert) – that keeps me informed on LinkedIn’s back-end to ensure profiles remain highly searchable and visible.
- 1 of <25 to hold the Master Resume Writer designation by Career Thought Leaders
- CEIP (Certified Executive Interview Professional) & CPRW certifications (Certified Professional Résumé Writer) with the Professional Association of Résumé Writers and Career Coaches.
No matter how complex or convoluted your story may feel, your documents will be clear, strategically branded, keyword-rich and position you optimally.
Passionate about paying it back and forward, I have served on the Board of the NRWA for several years as President, President-Elect, Education Chair and a Director of Member Services for Experienced Business Owners.
