About Me

Mark Slack is a Certified Professional Resume Writer (CPRW) with over eight years of experience sculpting interview-landing resumes and cover letters for clients from all walks of life. He has a bachelor’s degree in English Literature from The College of Charleston, which helps him craft any job seeker into a compelling protagonist. Last but not least, he believes that spelling resume as “résumé” is pretentious and unnecessary, and is ready to argue with you about it on Twitter.

He's also the author of The Resume Genius Writing Guide: Everything Jobseekers Need to Know About Resume Writing.
