Work with Margaret
Hi, I'm Margaret, a certified professional resume writer and founder of Paige Careers. I built Paige to democratize access to expert resume guidance.
For years, I've worked 1:1 with mid-to-senior level professionals—carefully questioning, strategizing, and crafting resumes that open doors. But traditional resume writing is expensive and time-intensive. A standard resume takes me 10 to 15 hours to complete, and clients invest hundreds if not thousands of dollars for that level of personalized service.
Not everyone needs—or can afford—that level of support. Many professionals are perfectly capable of writing their own resumes when given the right framework and expert guidance. That's why I created Paige: to embed my strategic questioning methodology into an AI-powered tool that makes professional resume building faster, more affordable, and accessible to everyone.
When You Want the Human Touch
But I also know that some career transitions are complex. Some professionals want someone else to hold the pen. Some just want a trusted expert to gut-check their work before they hit "submit." That's why I've kept my personal practice small—so I can still work directly with individuals who want or need that human touch.
Below are the different ways we can work together, from quick feedback sessions to comprehensive done-for-you services. I personally handle all coaching calls and writing—I don't outsource anything—and I'll be your sole point of contact throughout our work together.
Ways to Get More Support
1. Learn at Your Own Pace: On-Demand Webinars
I have recorded two information-packed webinars you can watch anytime. They come with free downloads, templates, and discount codes for my 1:1 review sessions.
- ●Resume Strategies for Federal Workers in Transition: Prepare to pivot to the private sector using tested strategies and AI-powered tools designed specifically for transitioning federal workers.
- ●LinkedIn Profile Quick Tips: Learn the quick, high-impact LinkedIn profile fixes that make you 71% more likely to get a callback, complete with templates and actionable tips you can implement immediately.
Best for: Self-directed professionals who want expert guidance they can implement on their own timeline.
Investment: Individual webinar pricing available on booking page
2. Live 1:1 Resume or LinkedIn Review
In a focused Zoom session, I'll review your resume or LinkedIn profile with you in real-time. You'll get targeted feedback on what's working, what's not, and concrete direction on how to strengthen your materials. You'll receive a recording and clear notes you can reference as you make edits.
Best for: Professionals who want expert validation and specific guidance—and are comfortable making the edits themselves.
3. Full-Service Executive Resume Writing
I rewrite your resume from the ground up. This high-touch engagement includes an in-depth intake and interview process, multiple Zoom sessions to review drafts and discuss revisions, and multiple rounds of edits until your resume is polished and ready. You get a modern, strategically crafted resume delivered in Word and PDF—I handle all the writing.
Best for: Executives and senior professionals who want a completely rewritten, strategically positioned resume.
4. LinkedIn Profile Writing
I'll build you a polished LinkedIn profile from strategic keyword placement and dynamic visuals to drafting impactful About and Experience sections. Through review calls and multiple drafts, we'll perfect your profile together. I update your profile online for you, ensuring maximum visibility to recruiters.
Best for: Professionals who want a recruiter-ready LinkedIn presence without doing the work themselves.
How to Choose the Right Level of Support
Not sure whether to use Paige, book a 1:1 service, or combine both? Here's how to think about it:
Use Paige if you:
- ●Want expert-guided resume building at an accessible price point
- ●Are comfortable working independently with AI guidance and strategic prompts
- ●Have a relatively straightforward career narrative to present
- ●Need a resume quickly and want to work at your own pace
Add 1:1 services if you:
- ●Are navigating a complex career transition or significant pivot
- ●Want a human expert to review your work and provide personalized feedback
- ●Prefer someone else to handle the writing entirely (done-for-you service)
- ●Need help articulating your value in a way that resonates with your specific target roles
- ●Are pursuing executive or senior leadership positions requiring nuanced positioning
Popular Combination: Paige + 1:1 Review
Many professionals use Paige to build their resume quickly and efficiently, then book a 30-minute review session with me for expert feedback and final polish. This gives you the best of both worlds—the efficiency and affordability of Paige plus human expert validation before you start applying.
Why Work with Me?
Deep Expertise Across Multiple Disciplines
As a Certified Professional Resume Writer (CPRW) and Certified Digital Career Strategist (CDCS), I combine technical resume writing expertise with strategic career advising. My background as a Harvard-educated, former BigLaw attorney, plus my experience as an advisor at a Top-15 law school, gives me a deep understanding of the career paths of high-achieving professionals.
A Strategic, Questioning Methodology
I don't just reformat your bullet points—I help you uncover and articulate the strategic value you bring to employers. Through targeted questions and active listening, I draw out the accomplishments and insights that make you stand out, even when you can't see them yourself. This questioning methodology I've refined over years of one-on-one coaching is what powers Paige. When you work with me directly, you get that same strategic thinking applied with human judgment and nuance.
Proven Track Record with 300+ Professionals
I've guided over 300 mid-to-senior level professionals through career transitions across a range of industries and functional roles:
Industries: Financial services, technology, government, law, education, public policy, consulting, healthcare, and international development
Functions: Finance, marketing, sales, communications, digital transformation, business development, design, and management
Whether you're making a lateral move, pivoting to a new sector, or advancing to the executive level, I understand the nuances of positioning your experience for your target roles.
Note: I do not prepare academic CVs or federal job applications (USA Jobs) as they have very technical requirements and industry-specific conventions.
