Debra C. Varon, CPRW, MSW
Director of BetterWrittenResumes!
As an art appreciator, writing a resume is my work of art. I start with a blank canvas and create a masterpiece! A presentation that is as individual as its presenter; both visually and in content. A resume that gets noticed and gets interviews! My clients have told me that I have a knack for “pulling-out” unique skills and accomplishments that they never knew they had.

I am adept at writing resumes for a multitude of industries from entry-level, professional, mid-management, and C-level executive. It has been extremely gratifying to have worked as a Senior Resume Writer for a triple-certified expert resume writer, career coach & job search strategist who founded one of the top national resume writing services.

My experience in the administration and interpretation of vocational and career interest assessments has given me the necessary tools in helping clients navigate their career paths. I have a BS from Cornell University and a MSW from SUNY Buffalo; in addition I hold a certificate in career coaching from Loyola University in Baltimore, Maryland.
