About ME

Melinda Maybury About Me Photo

Hi, I’m Melinda — a strategic resume writer with a Master’s in Communication Studies and a storyteller’s heart. I believe every career is a story worth telling. My passion is helping professionals clarify their value, showcase their strengths, and confidently pursue their next opportunity — whether that’s a pivot, promotion, or reentry into the workforce.I started by writing resumes for myself and quickly learned how powerful a well-crafted resume can be. When I saw friends struggle to represent their skills, I began helping them tell their stories — and open doors. Today, I don’t just write resumes; I craft career narratives that work.
