Michelle Traino is one of the most outstanding resume writers (and overall writers) whom I’ve encountered; she has innate sensibilities, sees beyond “the words,” and helps cultivate the essence of what’s important and then highlights those essentials with eloquence and impact. Her natural authenticity, empathy, honesty, ability to listen and connect are stellar. She is humble, non-judgemental, real and strives to go above and beyond. Her thoroughness and commitment to excellence in all she does is distinct, and she consistently delivers the highest standard. Michelle is a joy to work with on projects because she can be counted to do what she says, communicates throughout the process – and delivers high quality under tight deadlines. I have hired her to help me, and refer clients and friends to her because she’s the best of the best.

I cannot recommend Michelle as a Career Coach enough to my fellow military brothers and sisters! I was introduced to Michelle way back in September 2018, and have worked with her ever since. I had just seriously begun the process of transitioning (retiring) after over 20 years of Active Duty Army Service, and I was blessed to find Michelle. She definitely is more than a resume writer: her process dovetailed nicely with the Army and Air Force Senior Leader Transition Assistance Program; her insight, emotional intelligence, and boundless confidence gave me the boost I needed to determine “what I wanted to be when I grow up.” She is proficient in modern resume formats, and I am very pleased with the master resume she helped me write. Michelle is familiar with the distractors and challenges of military life, and she very easily can manage timelines to completion while expecting and getting results. Over the course or our working together, she has become a trusted confidant and friend. I ultimately threw her a curve-ball and exited the white-collar job search, but I am confident I would not have found my way without her directed self-discovery!

Michelle is a very talented resume writer! Her resumes are clean, clear and beautifully formatted, and she has a wonderful way of crafting a narrative that makes sense and resonates with hiring managers and recruiters. I love the way she takes “hard to describe” skills and weaves them into accomplishments that make you shine! I have also seen Michelle teach a resume writing class. Because of her welcoming demeanor, it is easy to ask questions and learn. She is confident and engaging in her delivery, making resume writing seem like a fun and doable task. I highly recommend Michelle for resume writing and training others to write resumes!
