I got out of retail – and you can too:

I spent the first 16 years of my working life in fast food and retail. My employers included a fast food Mexican restaurant, a “big box” toy store, and a “big box” home improvement center. I was unhappy 90% of the time due to erratic hours, low pay, ever-shrinking benefits, weak management – and of course, certain customers who take their own misery out on retail workers.

I knew there had to be something better.

So why did I stay in retail so long?

Because I didn’t know how to get out!

I didn’t know how to decide what I wanted to do next, how to prepare a strong resume, how to conduct an effective job search, or how to interview (interviews terrified me!). I didn’t believe that I could earn as much money in another job (I thought $15 an hour was a lot of money then!). Deep down, I didn’t believe I had the skills required for a better job – and worse, I didn’t believe I deserved a better job.

But when the pain of going to a job I hated every day became too much,

I finally had to stop wishing and TAKE ACTION.

Following several failed attempts to get out of retail – including sending out a hundred resumes with minimal response and a few mangled interviews – I undertook a journey to become an expert on resumes and job searches. I read every book I could get my hands on that related to career change and job search. I talked to people who had successfully left retail. I gleaned information from career coaches and resume writers.

After learning what NOT to do, I started getting interviews and landed a job as a marketing rep at a Fortune 500 company – not my dream job, but it was 8-5 and NOT retail!
About a year later, I landed another job with one of Fortune magazine’s “100 Best Companies to Work For.” After a successful transition out of retail, I helped my husband use the same process and strategies to get out of retail. (I still have a fond place in my heart for retail, though, since I met my husband at the home center). He now works for one of Fortune‘s “100 Best Companies.”

After much exploration and coaching, I discovered that I’m an entrepreneur and started a resume writing business to help other people escape “retail hell.” But as a resume writer, I was limited to how many people I could help, since I could write only so many resumes per day. As a result, the idea of helping thousands through my new e-book and website was born.

Now I want to help YOU get out of retail, land a job you LOVE, and ENJOY going to work each day.

Here’s what my clients are saying:

Thank you so much for helping me escape retail hell! My resume and the information you provided were key factors. After ten plus years of working at the home center store, I wasn’t sure if I could get out. I’m so glad I did.
J. Pickens

I’ve gotten so many compliments on how my resume looks from employers that I have applied to. I accepted a job as an office manager in a great environment.
D. Cartwright

First of all, thank you so much for your help. Our resumes were the best ones I’ve ever seen. Ray and I both got a lot of compliments on ours. Thanks to your great work, we both landed awesome jobs! Ray now sells health insurance for a really good company and I got the job I wanted at the elementary school.
S. Miller

Thank you very much for your help! My wife and I would be lost and still looking for a job.
M. Bromagen

With my new resume, I quickly learned that I was in control of the interview and my career. I knew what type of questions they would ask me. Out of the twelve interviews, I was offered a job at eleven of them. I finally decided to take a job with a beverage company in San Antonio. The Plant Manager said and I quote “Your resume is very impressive, very detailed and to the point. I have never seen a resume so focused on your experience and it is clear to me where you want to go.”
G.H. Tullos

Thanks for your help! I’m finally leaving Wal-Mart after seven years! I thought that not having a degree would prevent me from moving on, but I applied to a great job that listed “degree preferred” and got the job anyway.

Here’s to your successful journey out of retail!
