Resume writing is hard when it isn’t your specialty. You know your work better than anyone, but turning it into a page that gets interviews is a different skill. That’s where I come in.
I’m Kyla Duffy, a Boulder-based resume writer and career coach. I’ve helped 4,000+ professionals, from first-job seekers to executives, and I’m in the top 1% of Upwork freelancers with a 100% job success score. Pick the service you need below, or book a free consultation and we’ll figure it out together.
A refined, efficient process. No endless meetings.
We talk about your goals, timeline and fit by email or video chat.
A thoughtful questionnaire uncovers your strengths and the wins you’ve probably forgotten about.
Modern, ATS-friendly content written in your voice, not a robot’s.
We polish it together, and you get my job search tools and ongoing support.
Your resume has one job: get you the interview. I write resumes that show employers exactly why you’re the right fit, and that pass the applicant tracking systems that screen most applications first. Includes a personalized intake, keyword strategy, a resume customization tool and my 2026 Job Search Strategy Guide.
Recruiters search LinkedIn every day. If your profile is a copy of your resume, you’re missing the chance to show who you are beyond the job title. I write keyword-rich headlines, About sections and experience entries that get you found and give people a reason to reach out.
Need it done now? In one focused 2-hour live session, we write your resume, cover letter and LinkedIn content together in real time, plus your job search plan. Priority scheduling available.
Every employer has challenges they’re trying to solve. You’ll learn to ask thoughtful questions, listen carefully, and connect your experience to their needs, like a consultant would.
Interviews go best when they feel like a conversation, not a performance. I’ll help you prepare stories, handle tough questions and walk in confident, with mock interviews and direct feedback.
For leaders who need a polished bio for a company website, board role, conference or media. Written to sound like you, in first or third person.
Feeling stuck or thinking about a change? My 14-day Find Your Path program gives you daily 1:1 support and a clear plan for your next move.

I work with professionals from early-career to executive level, across most fields and industries. How is this possible? Over more than a decade, I’ve continually refined a process that works, regardless of your field and career level. Additionally, having written more than 4,000 resumes, I offer solid, experience-based judgment on what should be included, based on your career level, role, field, and industry.
Yes. These transitions are common, and I enjoy helping people translate their experience into language that private-sector employers understand. We can work on your resume, LinkedIn profile, career direction, and overall positioning depending on what you need.
Yes. Revisions are part of the process. My in-depth questioning process helps us cut to the chase and eliminate the need for many rounds of revisions. However, we will work collaboratively until your documents sound like you and feel right.
Tell me where you are and where you want to go. I’ll recommend the right next step, even if that means you don’t need me.
