  • Looking for work leaving you frustrated and "half-baked?"​

    Here's our hot take...

    Rebuilding your resume should be a simple process.

    Customizing your cover letter shouldn't take more than five minutes.

    Optimizing your LinkedIn profile doesn't require a marketing degree.

    Finding a new job shouldn't take months.

    Absolutely hate writing

    Haven't looked for work in a decade

    Struggle talking about yourself

    Are confused by conflicting advice

    Have a diverse background

    Are making a complete pivot

  • Finally ... a Stress-free, Straightforward Approach​

    Meet Aaron Sheppard, Job Search Strategist & Resume Expert

    Drawing on more than 20 years of experience helping ambitious professionals with their career goals, Aaron Sheppard knows how frustrating it is for a resume to hold you back or to live with the sneaking sense that there are other important puzzle pieces that you are overlooking.

     

    Taking the reins of Cake Resumes was a natural next step for Aaron after training and working closely with the company founder.

     

    “Aaron applies the same commitment to ease and clarity to his process that I built Cake Resumes upon. Choosing him to support you with your career goals means working with an expert! You will side-step confusion and land your next opportunity through smarter actions, period. Hands-on, shouting from the rooftops, Aaron comes with my most enthusiastic recommendation.”

  • Our client's taste of success

    Jeremy, K.

    Client Success Manager

    I connected with Aaron when I knew my resume wasn't getting the results I needed. A good resume shouldn't just list your background, it should tell your story and entice the reader to reach out to you.

    Having a properly proofed resume produced immediate results. Returned emails, callbacks, and competing offers became a frequent event - not just a wish.

    I would highly recommend Aaron's services to anyone looking for assistance with resume writing, defining a narrative, or narrowing their focus on specific career elements. His inquisitive nature and realistic approach has helped countless others.

    Wade B.

    Instructional Designer

    I am incredibly grateful for the skillfully crafted professional resume that Aaron wrote for me.

     

    Aside from the high-quality product he delivered, Aaron was a genuine pleasure to work with.

     

    He was friendly and helpful through the process, and the resulting resume gave me the confidence to transition out of the only industry I had ever worked in.

    Rhahlene M.

    Consultant, Project Management Profession

    In the first 2 months of my job search, I only had two initial interviews. After working with Aaron on my resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile I was able to interview much more frequently. In the two months after Aaron’s revitalization of my application materials, I received over 15 initial interview requests.

     

    Aaron’s eye for practical structure and thoughtful approach to meaningful narrative throughout the materials is easily the reason I found myself interviewing for experienced project manager jobs.

     

    I highly recommend Aaron’s services and benefited greatly from them.
