ALL ABOUT RESUMES SINCE 2009
Our Owner and Founder, Mir Garvy, began writing resumes in 2009. Rather than expanding into limitless markets, Mir has kept her company’s growth to
markets she knows well and frequents regularly. Today, Mir directs a team of expert resume writers who have each been personally mentored in Mir’s specific style and methodology of resume writing. Our designs are progressive, our messaging is tailored, and our writing is clean. Next to the competition, our resumes are better, more effective, and give our clients a distinct competitive edge.
Administrative Team
Mir Garvy, Owner & Founder (MS, CMRW, CPRW, CPCC)
Over the last decade, Mir Garvy has grown her resume writing business from a single-person shop to a boutique firm offering resumes, LinkedIn makeovers, and cover letters. Prior to starting this business, Mir was a freelance marketing and SEO copywriter, an information architect for a web development shop, and a usability consultant for an ergonomics firm. Mir holds a master’s degree in Technical Communication from North Carolina State University. She is a member of the National Resume Writers Association (NRWA), the Professional Association of Resume Writers & Career Coaches (PARW/CC), Career Thought Leaders (CTL), Career Directors International (CDI), and the Society for Technical Communication (STC). Mir now lives in her home state of North Carolina, but has also lived in Seattle, Boston, Berkeley, Boulder and Santa Fe, as well as in England.
Kristi Strange, Project Coordinator & Traffic Manager
With a BA in communication studies from Lynchburg College in Virginia, Kristi Strange began her career at a small advertising agency in Lynchburg. In the over 20 years since, she’s continued to hone her project management, traffic management, and proofreading skills in a handful of agencies and companies. Kristi joined our team in 2016 and, since then, has managed projects, schedules, and client relationships with excellence. In her free time, Kristi loves to read and watch streaming TV; cook for her husband and two sons; play with her fur babies (two dogs and a very spoiled bunny!); enjoy the hiking trails; and discover interesting new restaurants with her family.
