I spent years inside California state government. I know how duty statements are written, how CalHR scoring works, and exactly what hiring managers look for. Now I put that knowledge to work for you.
Sound Familiar?
These are the four things I hear most from people before we start working together.
You've applied to state jobs before and never heard back, even though you felt more than qualified for the role.
You don't know how CalHR scores applications and you're just guessing what to put in the supplemental questionnaires.
Your current resume was written for the private sector and you know it's not hitting the right notes for a civil service audience.
You're trying to move up within state government and need a resume that speaks to classification-specific duty statements.

Most clients come to me for one of these three things. All work is custom, not templated.
Built around your target classification and duty statement. Written so CalHR can score it, and so a real hiring manager actually wants to read it.

4 to 5 business daysNot sure where to start? A one-hour session to review your current materials, talk through your target roles, and figure out what actually needs to happen next.
Scheduled within 2 daysAbout Jason
Before I started helping people with their resumes, I worked in California state government. Not just briefly, and not in a support role. I was in the work, dealing with the same classification systems, duty statements, and hiring processes that you're navigating now.
That experience changes how I write resumes. I'm not guessing at what CalHR is looking for. I've seen how applications get scored, how hiring managers read them, and where most people quietly lose points without ever knowing it.
I started this business because I kept watching qualified people get passed over for roles they were fully capable of doing, just because they didn't know the rules of the system. That's a fixable problem.
