I'm a Top Resume Writer & Personal Branding Expert in NJ

Hi, I'm Rebecca. As the owner of a leading NJ resume writing service for over a decade, I've helped thousands of ambitious professionals confidently, clearly articulate their value to level up, amplify their earning power, and do work aligned with purpose and passion.

That’s my purpose…my why.

There is No Expiration Date on Your Dreams

An executive resume writer and personal branding expert who helps motivated, career-minded professionals like you get unstuck and take control of their careers, the words I hear most often when I work with clients is that they struggle to articulate their value.

Do you ever feel like everyone else has it figured out? Sending out tons of resumes with no response? Not really even sure what to apply to?

It wasn't until I got really clear on my superpower and started sharing that message that I saw my own potential.

I use a collaborative, proprietary process that helped me launch a 6-figure business in a recession and empower thousands of clients just like you to land meaningful work, find balance, and multiply their earning potential.

I will help you uncover what you love to do, what makes you great at it, and target your message so that you can differentiate yourself, get more interviews, and get hired faster.

As a coach, I’ll hold you accountable while you uncover your authentic career brand and connect the dots to build a career you love.

I’ll work with you to build a network that will sustain you through market cycles.

"Rebecca did an exceptional job helping my wife refresh her resume during the COVID downturn within her industry; she got instant results and was able to land a new full-time position. I also worked with Rebecca to refresh my CV and bio to provide a more contemporary touch; she did a wonderful job. Rebecca is a consummate professional; very thorough and truly cares about her clients. I’ve already referred her to several friends and colleagues as she goes above & beyond."

Who I help

I help ambitious professionals at every stage tell their story with clarity, confidence, and a clear path forward.

Is this you?

Returning to work after a break
Pivoting into a new industry
Preparing for your next leadership role

Over the past 15 years, I've had the privilege of helping thousands of clients all over the world transform their careers and land jobs at companies like Facebook, Google, Goldman Sachs, Novartis, and NBC.

I’ve seen so many candidates struggle to get a foot in the door because they have a lackluster resume that doesn’t give hiring managers a reason to call them.

Their careers languish, they apply to hundreds of jobs in an endless cycle, and they are literally stuck on a job search treadmill.

I get it because I’ve been there.

Frustrated. Struggling with imposter syndrome. Unsure of my next step.

Does this Sound Familiar?

If you're like most of my clients, this is what you say to yourself when you sit down to write your resume.

I know I do a lot, but it’s impossible to put in on paper.

I’m great at my job, but I have so much trouble selling myself.

I know I could do more, but I’m not sure what.

Struggle with imposter syndrome despite your accomplishments.

Want clarity on your next career move, whether that’s a leadership transition, career pivot, or salary growth.

Need help positioning yourself for leadership roles that align with your strengths and values.

Seeking confidence, mindset shifts, and personal branding to stand out in a competitive job market.

I get. I promise. I’ve done it for thousands of clients—from Fortune 100 executive to college sophomore.

You are unique

You just need help to convey exactly what makes you that way.

I convey your achievements in clear, concise language that connects that dots for recruiters and hiring managers to get results. Don’t waste one more second wondering if you’re in the right role.

If any of these sound like you, we should talk!

Can’t find the words to express your accomplishments, motivations, and contributions?
Not sure what format to use?
Feeling like your resume could and should do more for you?
Sending out hundreds of resumes with no response?
Had your resume done already and it just feels fluffy?
Other candidates with similar experience (or less) are getting selected over you?
Not getting interviews for jobs you are qualified (or over-qualified) for?

There is No Expiration Date on Your Dreams

I've helped thousands and clients find fulfilling work and get paid what they're worth

I craft high-impact resumes, develop powerful personal brands, and devise job search strategies that help jobseekers launch, reboot, and level up their careers. My clients land jobs at companies like Goldman Sachs, Citibank, Bayer, BMS, Pfizer, Celgene, Stryker, BD, Novartis, Paramount, Sony, and NBC.

What makes my clients successful is that I find the through-line and create compelling brand stories.

My collaborative, proprietary process helped me launch a 6-figure business in a recession and empower thousands of clients just like you to land meaningful work, find balance, and multiply their earning potential.

Together, we will

Uncover what you love to do
Define what makes you great at it
Target your message

You’ll gain unprecedented insight and clarity into what your next steps should look like and how to get there. This process will equip you with the clarity you need to differentiate yourself, get more interviews, and get hired faster.

Remember:

You don't need multiple versions of your resume. You need an outstanding foundational resume clearly aligned with your target.
You are unique. Cookie cutter resumes that position you as a carbon copy of the job description are ineffective.
Your resume is highlight reel, not an encyclopedia - it should be carefully curated to position you for clearly defined next steps!

You can achieve your goals

Imagine results like these:

👉 A teacher who landed a $150K sales job
👉 A police officer who took over corporate security for a Fortune 500 Pharma company
👉 A non-profit administrator who increased his salary 2X in a mission-aligned role
👉 A PR leader who transitioned in-house with 100% work-from-home
👉A relaunching mom who found her confidence and landed a 2X salary increase in a new industry

While I don't specialize in an industry, I'm located in Northern NJ so many of my clients are in life sciences (pharma, med tech, med device), financial services, and CPG/FMCG.

What makes me great at my job is my ability to listen, ask smart question, and elicit the differentiated value you uniquely bring to the table, then translate that into professional brand messaging that grabs the attention of hiring stakeholders.

"Rebecca was wonderful to work with. Finding myself on the job market unexpectedly I was not prepared. I had no resume, no LinkedIn. Rebecca took the time to listen to my story and craft a resume that embodies my many years of work. She is so easy to talk with and my interactions with her were not only professional but down to earth. The final product was impressive and thorough including brand statement and LinkedIn profile. The resume helped me secure multiple job offers within weeks and allowed me to get back into the job market quickly."

What is The CLEAR Method™—and Why Does It Matter?

Career storytelling is what sets my resume services apart. I don’t just write resumes—I help you build a personal brand that opens doors.

With 20+ years of experience in marketing, branding, and career strategy, I bring a unique lens to every client engagement. I know how to shape your story so it’s not only clear and compelling—but also strategic.

That’s where The CLEAR Method™ comes in.

💡 CLEAR = Clarity · Language · Evidence · Alignment · Reputation

This is the proven framework I use to help you stand out in a crowded, competitive job market:

Clarity – Know who you are, what you bring to the table, and what you're aiming for next.
Language – Talk about your work in a way that speaks to decision-makers.
Evidence – Ground your story in real results that highlight your strengths.
Alignment – Position yourself for the role you want, not just the one you’ve had.
Reputation – Build trust and visibility with the people who need to know your name.

The CLEAR Method™ is a proven framework to help high achievers clarify their strengths, articulate their value, and show up with confidence—on paper and in person.

Whether you’re changing industries, stepping into leadership, or returning to work, this method ensures your brand reflects where you’re headed—not just where you’ve been.

Career Changes, Solopreneur to Corporate, & Workforce Reentry

This package is best for career changers, professionals in transition, and clients who prefer a higher level of support. If you know you thrive when someone else is holding you accountable for their results, this is your jam.

I'll apply my proprietary branding framework to identify your core differentiators -- and the stories that exemplify them -- then integrate all of that into a branded, future-facing suite of job search gold.

Consider me your personal job search sherpa, guiding you through the complexities of online applications, LinkedIn networking, and resume targeting.

Includes:

Personal Brand Overhaul
8X Weekly Coaching Sessions (aka Career Change Bootcamp)
LinkedIn profile training via Zoom
Priority Text/Chat/Email Support

Develop a Powerful Personal Brand

Develop a powerful personal brand. I'll go beyond just asking about your career to really get at who you are, how you show up, and what you can be counted on to deliver.

Using my proprietary MARC personal branding framework, I'll help you develop a measurable, authentic, relevant and clear brand story that helps you connect the dots for hiring stakeholders in a way that drives results.

From there, I'll create a custom brand profile that comprises your elevator pitch, unique value proposition, and signature strengths, as well as a custom-branded career collateral suite.

Includes:

Strategic Interview
Custom Tailored Resume
14-Day Revision Period
Custom Elevator Pitch + Coaching
Personal Brand Statement
Signature Strengths
Value Proposition Letter
Comprehensive, concierge update & optimization service for your LinkedIn.
1 Month Unlimited Email Support

How does the process work?

Review and select professional packages, comprehensive executive packages, LinkedIn profile optimization, and more. Service price and package details for resumes, LinkedIn, other job search materials, and one-on-one career counseling are clearly outlined, or feel free to schedule a discovery call so we can identify the best fit services for your goals and experience.

Each resume writing project starts with a face-to-face or phone interview. During this call, you’ll be asked about your experience, achievements, and career target.

Following that, you’ll receive 1st drafts of your resume in 10-14 days. At Rebecca Henninger Career Services, we believe in quality over all else and need a little time to ensure that your documents are optimized around your goals.

I use an extensive quality control process, including industry-leading proofreading…simply put, good things take time!

Revisions are not always necessary, but once you receive your documents, you’ll have ample time for review, as well as opportunity to discuss over the phone for clarification.

When is payment due?

I do not begin working on your resume until I receive your payment and an executed Client Agreement.

When are you available?

We typically have a 1-2 week waiting list for new projects, which will be indicated when you initially contact me to schedule. I am always available via email and schedule interviews typically during business hours; however, weekend and evening appointments may be available.

When will I receive first drafts?

First drafts are sent within 3 weeks of our interview and receipt of payment. Like my clients, I take time off on weekends and most bank-recognized holidays, so typically these days will extend the delivery time. In every instance, I do attempt to deliver ahead of schedule but often require ample time to ensure that the final result is high quality and meets your expectations.

How do revisions work?

We review the resume together and I make all requested changes. Following that , I send out for proofing and quality control.

This process must be completed within 1 weeks following delivery of first draft. Exceptions will be made for extenuating circumstances.

What if I don't like my resume?

We prioritize your total satisfaction and offer a 14-day revision period to ensure your documents exceed your expectations.

If you do not receive any interviews within 60 days, we’ll schedule a job search strategy call to help you get your search back on track.

Why is your service more expensive than online companies?

You’ll work exclusively with me throughout the process
I don’t limit you to email interactions
I actually interview you to learn about your career
I don’t require you to fill out forms or questionnaires
I don’t outsource you resume to an overseas or junior writer

Did you know that many online services use resume writers offshore or pay their writers a fraction (usually 20-40%) of the price that you pay?

I’m here for you and with you from the first call to delivery of your drafts. I care about your results and that comes through in every interaction.

What is the best way to contact you?

15+ years of proven success. 3,000+ resumes. Fortune 100 placements. Countless success stories.

Brand yourself for the career you want.

Resume writing and personal branding for high achievers in career transition.
