Roberta Gamza, Career Marketing Strategist and Resume Writer. I love what I do and you'll hear it in my voice. Career Ink represents my passions – strategizing, writing, and marketing. I help you tell your story with a resume that informs, persuades, and motivates employers. I'll work directly with you to develop compelling customized materials that reflect who you are, what you've done, and predict your potential so that you can achieve your career goals.
I'll make it easy for you. I'll do the bulk of the work, but this is a synergistic collaboration to define and refine strategy and to gather relevant resume content. I'll go mining for data; I'll find it even if you don't think you've got it. And, I'll put a positive spin on any fumbles, flaws, or failures.
Job search is changing at an overwhelming pace today. Not only do you have to contend with ever changing applicant tracking systems (ATS) software, there is the temptation to turn to AI to write your resume. AI generated resumes can't convey your individuality or authenticity; they can't differentiate you from other candidates. Employers can spot AI generated resumes and immediately reject them. AI resumes make you look lazy and destroy your credibility. Writing your own resume in concert with Career Ink is an exercise in self-reflection and great prep for the interview.
You can't do it alone anymore. Let's work together to get you the career you want!
Call or email now for a free consultation and review of your current resume, job search strategy, or LinkedIn profile. I'll be glad to answer your questions and offer suggestions for next steps without any obligation for further service.
Professional, Executive, Federal Resume Writing Services
Our services are based in marketing principles. To achieve your career goals, you'll need the competitive advantage of customized, powerful documents that convey your value and potential. My services are listed individually, however if your purchase any 3 services, you'll save 10%.
Corporate & Federal Resume Writing
The resume is the foundation of your career documents. It must be concise, powerful, and relevant. Your corporate resume investment is based on your years of professional experience, the marketing strategy we use, and the field you are in. The more experience you have, the more history to explore and accomplishments to summarize. On average if you are a professional with 5 to 10+ years of experience, your investment will range between $450 and $650 for a resume. The investment for graduating college students, young professionals, administrative and support roles, and tradespeople will be less, while the investment for C-Suite executives will be more.
The key to successful federal applications and resumes is tailoring the resume to the job and precisely following every direction listed in the announcement. I can help you wade through complex announcements, determine resume and essay content, and/or write the Federal resumes and essays. Call to discuss your federal needs.
LinkedIn Profile & Training
As the first place recruiters look for candidates, LinkedIn is not optional, it is essential. Your profile should complement your resume, not repeat it; it should offer insight into your personality as well as your career. You can purchase stand-alone LinkedIn services or add them on to your Career Ink resume service. Profiles start at $350. One-on-one LinkedIn Training is $275 for 2-hour session.
Strategic Correspondence
Persuasive letters can make a difference when reaching out to decision makers. You can make your case, create your own opportunity, and build relationships with powerful letters. Investments start at $125.
Interview Training
Just as I custom design your resume, I custom design and develop training sessions based on your needs and desires. Before we begin any sessions, we will work together to identify your issues and define the steps we will take together as well as specific objectives for each session. We will move at your pace and within your comfort level. Training is $125/hour (minimum session one hour).
Career Transitions & Reinventions
Is it time to for your career to take a whole new direction or maybe revive a former career? Let me help you manage your re-invention and achieve your goals faster. I will work with you to clarify goals, overcome barriers, define steps, rebrand, build a new or resurrect a dormant professional network, create strategic marketing materials, and launch a job search campaign. Transitions and re-inventions are very personal; they are customized services that will include a mixture of coaching and writing services and will be priced accordingly. Call to discuss.
Situational Career or Business Consulting
Are you facing a challenging career or business situation? Perhaps you're not sure how to get from where you are to where you want to be. Maybe you are expecting to encounter resistance to your proposal or solution? I'll help you determine the path to achieve that seemingly elusive goal. If you need to make a powerful, convincing proposal based on research, facts, figures, and sound reasoning, I can help you build it. I've helped clients put together winning proposals for promotions and pay raises, new positions, staffing changes, job relocation, remote reporting structures, as well as partnerships and joint ventures. Consulting is $125/hour.
Additional Services
Additional customized documents that go beyond the resume to highlight your experience, contributions, and capabilities can give you an edge over the competition. These documents can be resume addendums, achievement summaries, leadership/marketing/technology profiles, personal marketing briefs, and more. If you've got an idea for a document, we can partner together to make a reality.

Could your organization or group benefit from presentation or a working session? I'm available for presentations, workshops, or meeting facilitation on a variety of career management topics including resume writing, interviewing, salary negotiations, and career management and advancement.

About Roberta
Like my clients, I've been through a few career transitions, one I chose and two that were forced upon me. When I came out of college I wanted to save the world and was a social worker. After a few years I realized I couldn't save the world and I couldn't make a living wage. I returned to school, picked up a technical degree and became a technical writer for Hewlett Packard (HP).
My career thrived at HP. I was promoted 5 times and recognized 4 times for outstanding performance. I created and held 2 brand new positions. I became known for marketing insight and keen writing skills. I was asked to formulate and author crisis communications and ghost write for executive management. But the most fun I had was working with the sales force, crafting themed marketing and sales campaigns, trade shows, and user events. But, it all came to an end during the 2001 workforce reduction. While at HP I wrote resumes for friends, family, and colleagues who strongly encouraged me to open my own business. That's what I did when my HP career ended in 2001; I started Career Ink from my home in Denver, CO to help local and national job seekers achieve their career goals. And now I continue Career Ink from my home in Florida. I'm a persuasive communicator and writer, so resume writing is my perfect career because a compelling resume is the perfect example of persuasive writing.

Customer testimonials
- "I am DEFINITELY a very satisfied customer, otherwise I would not have spread the word about the wonderful job you did writing and helping me with my resume. It was the missing link to getting me an interview with the prospective employer. I know I am better at interviews and needed help beefing up my resume. You have the expertise of knowing hot to put the right words to highlight my skills and experience. Again, THANK YOU very much and had a wonderful time working with you."
- "I know you have heard this before, but thank you! The response to my resume has been unbelievable. I have been interviewing with a variety of companies in different industries, and the response is always overwhelmingly positive."
- "I received my Career Ink package on Monday and starting sending it out and positing it on Tuesday. It is Thursday and I've gotten 7 replies by phone and email! Thank you so much for all of your help. My resume looks wonderful! Best of luck to you and I will be sure to contact you and/or refer you in the future."
- "As you know I've been unemployed for a year. I had little response to my original resume during that time. That's all changed with my Career Ink resume. Within one week of sending out my new resume, I've had five responses and 3 interviews and I have accepted a very nice offer. You really turned it around for me."
- "I sent my new resume to four of my top choices and I heard back from my #1 pick within the week. I will be joining them as Director of Marketing & Sales starting March 16th. Thank you, Roberta. I have no doubt that my old resume would not have gotten their attention. I take credit for getting the job, but Career Ink gets credit for getting the interview."
