No writing pool. No outsourced drafts. You work with Steve Burdan directly, from the first review to the final version.
Steve Burdan has been writing resumes professionally for more than 30 years. He earned his CPRW certification in 1993 — back when the credential was new and the field was still finding its shape. Long before that, he worked in executive and adult college recruiting, which meant reading hundreds of resumes and deciding who got the call. That experience is the lens he brings to every resume he works on today.
In 2003, he founded Real Clear Resumes with a simple idea: start with a conversation, not a template. Many resume services send you a form and a first draft. Steve calls and discusses first in a phone call. He wants to understand where you've been, where you're trying to go, and what additional raw material is needed for starting the process. The prototype resume comes out of that kind of content and context.
Over the years, Steve has worked with clients from entry-level to C-suite in all types of industry sectors across the United States, Canada and internationally. Career changers, executives in transition, first-time job seekers and senior leaders returning to the market — every engagement scenario is 1:1 — you work with Steve from start to finish, not a pool of writers on rotation.
