Read beyond the resume

I don't just read your resume.
I read your journey.

Your resume is more than a list of jobs. I look beyond the surface to understand where you've been, what's missing and how to position your experience for what's next.

Years in hiring

I have spent my career on the other side of the table.

US IT staffing, technical recruitment and leading recruitment teams. I see every day how candidates get screened, shortlisted and chosen. That is the lens I bring to your resume, your LinkedIn and your interviews.

The real problem

Most career problems are bigger than the resume.

I meet strong professionals all the time who are not getting calls. Their experience is solid. The way it is presented is not.

  • 01
    Strong experience, weak positioningThe work is there but the resume does not point it at the right role.
  • 02
    A LinkedIn profile that tells a different storyRecruiters notice when the two do not match.
  • 03
    Interview answers that undersell youGood examples told without the result that matters.
  • 04
    A search without a clear directionApplying everywhere usually means hearing back from nowhere.
  • 05
    Career changes left unexplainedA move that made sense to you can confuse a hiring manager.

I connect the pieces. Fixing one helps. Lining them all up is what gets results.

The RishiWrites method

I don't start with the first line of your resume. I start at the bottom.

Your education and first jobs explain everything that came after. So I read upward. Step through it below.

Education and early roles. This is where your skills and habits began.

How it fits together

One map. Four questions.

Every conversation I have with a client comes back to these. Each service answers one of them.

  1. Where you are

    Your current role and what you want from the next one.
