1:1 Tech Resume Writing—Built Through Strategy, Not Software

I'm J.M. Auron, an ACRW-certified tech resume writer. For 15+ years, I've helped technology professionals—from Staff Engineers and Solutions Architects to Directors, VPs, and CISOs—command their true value in the job market. Every document I write is custom-crafted from an in-depth strategy interview, never a template or questionnaire.

What Working With Me Looks Like

I'm a very direct guy.

So I'm going to take a couple of minutes to tell you clearly what you can expect from working with me—and how my approach differs from high-volume resume services or generic AI tools.

That will give you the information you need to make your own best decision about getting in touch to determine if I’m the best person for your project.

I’ve been writing resumes for tech professionals at all levels—from network engineer and software developer to manager and director—for more than a decade and a half. That’s a lot of longevity in a very volatile field. I’ve been able to accomplish this because of my skill, my process, and my commitment to helping my clients.

I don't make fake guarantees. No ethical career strategist can control market shifts, internal hiring politics, or interview performance. What I do guarantee is an unsparing, deep-dive process that uncovers your true market value.

And I can tell you that I've helped a lot of great IT professionals advance their IT career path in my career.

I've helped clients get interviews with Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft. I've helped clients who were stuck at lead or manager for years step up to higher-level strategic roles. I've helped clients in miserable, soul-crushing jobs move into work they enjoy. I've helped underpaid professionals double or triple their compensation to what they're worth—in one or two moves. I've helped clients move from early career to principal or VP in a matter of a few years. I've helped clients earn a 10-fold return on the investment in my resume writing services—or more. That's real ROI.

• I don't write unreadable, keyword-stuffed resumes that may get past the ATS but will never get an HR professional or a hiring manager to call you for an interview.

• I never use AI. Every word you receive from me is written by a human being for other human beings. Not written by a robot for other robots.

• I never use templates or canned language.

• I never subcontract your resume—unlike many resume writing services.

I don't review or edit existing resumes. Every tech resume I write is new and based on our in-depth interview—unlike most other professional IT resume writing services. My documents are always custom-tailored to my clients.

And I don't push you to choose me. That means I won't try to sell you or close you. I don't use any gimmicks to get your business. I think that's unethical and I won't do it. We'll talk, and you'll decide whether you think I'm the best person to take your career to the next step.

"The resume J.M. helped me with landed me a job at a great company leveraging AI to address a completely unique set of challenges. I got a 70%+ raise with the job switch. I was happy to get the raise, but my success was not limited to that alone: my senior developer role transformed into a systems architecture role, which is a jump I did not expect to make in one step." - Seymour P.

Before I even begin the process of writing your tech resume, I dig deep to discover your value proposition. I identify—based on my extensive experience both as a tech resume writer and headhunter—how to best present your career to help you reach both your immediate and your long-term goals.

Then I craft a bespoke resume that clearly communicates who you really are—and what you can accomplish.

I write for human beings—the human being making the decision to call you—not for robots.

Because, despite what you've no doubt seen online, the ATS isn't the problem. Getting past the ATS is the easy part. The hard part is writing a resume that speaks clearly to both an HR recruiter and a technical Director, VP, or engineering hiring authority. That is what gets you the calls you need.

But I don’t stop there. I also write superior LinkedIn Profiles for tech professionals and I provide comprehensive, ongoing tech career coaching to ensure that you put your best foot forward, win that interview, and keep progressing throughout your career path.

I’m committed to doing more than just writing the best tech resumes possible. I’m committed to being your end-to-end career partner.

"I reached out to J.M., and after the initial free phone call, I was convinced that he was the right person to help me reach my goal -- and of course he delivered, and I was able to land my dream job and more than double my total compensation."

My ideal clients are technology professionals—from senior ICs, Staff/Principal Engineers, and Solutions Architects, through managers and directors, to CISOs and tech executives. My clients recognize that a tech resume is more than keywords strung together randomly—more than prose spewed out by an AI bot or low-end resume writing services.

You know you need help from a reputable, skilled professional. Your time is valuable, and you have the good sense to invest in a professional tech resume writer rather than waste your time trying to do it yourself—because that's time lost from finding a better opportunity. You know this investment is a clear choice—because investing $1K-$2K with me can provide a $10K-$20K—or more—boost in your total comp in a new position.

My clients are international; I’ve written IT resumes that have helped clients in the US, Canada, Ireland, the UK, Germany, Jordan, Singapore, Malaysia, and The Philippines. I understand the differences among cultures, and craft tech resumes that enable my clients to reach their goals—regardless of location.

My experience sets me apart. I've focused exclusively on writing technology resumes, full-time, for more than 15 years. I know the entire tech career path—from developer to principal architect to engineering leader to CTO—so I'm uniquely qualified to help you reach your next objective. In addition, I was a headhunter, and that experience informs every document I write. I know the audience I'm writing for.

That's why I say, "I speak IT." You won't have to worry about explaining to me what you've done. I'll get that—and I'll translate your accomplishments into strong, focused business language to demonstrate what you can really deliver to the hiring authorities. 

My process is unique, and very different from that used by the majority of professional IT resume writing services out there. I don't ask my clients to fill out a 30-page questionnaire. Instead, I gather data through a comprehensive, in-depth interview. This gives me the opportunity to ask as many follow-up questions as needed to get to your value proposition and accomplishments.

I’m also completely upfront about my pricing—my IT resumes and IT resume packages run from $1,400 to $1,900.

"To sum it all up, I was very apprehensive about getting a resume made for me, it was something I had never done before and to me seemed like kind of a scam. Your way of doing business really helped me change my perspective and gain my trust." Thomas H. Explore more client feedback on my Kudos page →

I think I've answered that. But to be clear, I'm more expensive than many other resume writing services because I don't ask you to do the work yourself by filling out questionnaires. I take the time to craft unique career documents, shaping every page from start to finish with an eye on language and style to ensure you're telling the right story to the right people. I save you time, effort, and stress, helping you get interviews faster for better, higher-paying opportunities.

As in most things in life: You get what you pay for.
