Ad-agency bred, when Evelyn Salvador first started her business in 1990, she developed branding materials for businesses (such as logos, brochures, marketing materials, and the like).
In 1992 when asked by friends to do their resume, she figured she’d give it a shot. When they got multiple interview calls immediately, she first thought it was luck or they were in the right place at the right time. But when that happened time and again, she realized she was on to something.
Because Evelyn was accustomed to branding her business clients both visually and verbally—and since resumes are self-promotions—she automatically capitalized on her personal clients’ brand and designed their resumes.
Her resume designs are what resulted in their getting called before other applicants because they stood out and were read first amongst all the bland white resumes.
Not knowing it then, she became a Personal Branding Pioneer six years before the term was coined, and this became the start of her resume writing practice.
After the National Resume Writers' Association President and current Career Director's International Executive Director saw Evelyn’s resume designs 22 years ago, they were astounded and requested she make them available to all professional resume writers.
Hesitant at first as her designs were what she considered her secret competitive edge, she agreed to share them with her colleagues and Version 1 was released in 1998.
The 100 Designer Resume Templates have since gone through several versions, but only this year after the templates no longer opened in Word, she had no choice but to totally redo them. And that she did. She also decided that to help better brand jobseekers in their own positions, to make them profession specific.
Version 4—just released—now contains 400 resume designs for every profession!
For almost three decades now, Designer Resumes have been helping to position jobseekers in the Top 2% and land quickly.
