Recruiter-informed career writing
I turn complex careers into clear, credible documents—built for the role, the company, and the decision-makers you need to reach.
Not merely a better-looking résumé.
Services
Every engagement begins with the story beneath the titles: scope, judgment, influence, transformation, and measurable value.
Positioning for senior leadership, C-suite, board, advisory, and international mandates—with governance language, commercial context, and evidence of impact.
A résumé and supporting documents mapped to a specific role, company, sector, and hiring context—without keyword stuffing or imitation.
Consistent, complementary documents that strengthen the same professional case at every stage of a search.
A versatile master résumé for a broader search—clear enough to travel across opportunities, specific enough to remain memorable.

Confidentiality is part of the work. Portfolio previews are recreated and anonymized. Personal details, employers, and identifying results are never published without permission.
What clients say
Senior professionals across technology, customer success, marketing, operations, security, and healthcare share what changed when their experience was positioned with greater clarity.
“After more than 30 years in network engineering, I had a lot of experience but no clear way to present it for executive roles. Gail understood the technical side of my background and, more importantly, the leadership behind it. The finished résumé finally connected those two parts of my career. Within weeks, I began hearing from leading telecom companies. Gail knows how to make senior-level experience easier to understand.”
“Presentation matters greatly in my work, so I approached this process with high expectations. Gail listened carefully, challenged vague language, and found a precise way to express both strategy and results. My résumé and LinkedIn profile now feel consistent with the level at which I operate. The experience was thoughtful and collaborative from beginning to end.”
“I have spent 35 years in sales and marketing, so I assumed writing about myself would be the easy part. It wasn’t. My experience crossed ticketing, marketing, and audience development, and the story felt scattered. Gail brought it together without making me sound like somebody else. It is clearer, more current, and much more focused. I would recommend her to anyone trying to make sense of a varied career.”
“My old résumé listed what I had done, but it did not show the scale of what I had led. Gail quickly identified the strongest parts of my 25 years in operations, especially the work involving multiple sites, logistics, and governance. She made the document sharper and easier to follow. It still sounds like me, only more confident and better organized. The investment was worthwhile.”
“Security and emergency management work can become complicated very quickly on paper. Gail was able to take complex risk, technology, and incident-response experience and turn it into language that was direct and credible. Nothing was exaggerated. Every section had a purpose. I now feel much better prepared to discuss my background in interviews for director-level critical infrastructure roles.”
“What impressed me most was the time Gail took to understand senior living and healthcare administration. She recognized why regulatory compliance, efficient operations, and deficiency-free surveys matter, but she explained them in a way any executive could follow. My résumé feels professional without losing the human side of the work. I felt understood throughout the process.”
Testimonials reflect individual client experiences. Career and hiring outcomes vary and are not guaranteed.
The difference
Four decades in recruitment taught me where attention goes, what creates doubt, and what makes a professional story hold together. I bring that judgment to every line.
Meet LanaYour work should prove the qualities others claim.
Design supports the argument; it never competes with it.
Language is selected for the actual opportunity and audience.
No invented metrics, inflated titles, or borrowed achievements.
The process
You will always know what I am reviewing, what I am changing, and why the finished document is stronger.
I assess your existing résumé, goals, target roles, career complexity, and any immediate application requirements.
I identify the central value proposition, proof points, gaps, and the right level of detail for your audience.
I rebuild the document around outcomes, leadership range, relevance, and a clear information hierarchy.
You review the draft, provide factual clarification, and receive polished final files prepared for practical use.
About Lana
I am Lana Gail Bradley, a retired global recruiter who continues to work independently with professionals whose experience deserves stronger representation.
Across more than four decades, I have watched careers evolve, hiring expectations shift, and good candidates become difficult to see because their documents did not reflect the level at which they actually operated.
My résumé practice is deliberately personal. I study the individual, the market, and—when relevant—the exact role and company. The result should sound like you at your clearest: credible, specific, and ready for serious consideration.
Beyond the résumé
Questions
Clear expectations protect both the quality of the work and your confidence in the process.
No. My specialist strength is senior, executive, and board-level positioning, but I also support established professionals whose careers are complex, technical, international, or changing direction.
Yes. I can align the résumé and supporting materials to the role, company, sector, reporting context, and stated priorities while preserving your authentic career record.
We can create a strong master résumé, then develop targeted versions where the audiences or priorities differ materially. The strategy is agreed before writing begins.
Never. I strengthen how evidence is selected and expressed, but every claim must remain accurate and defensible. Where useful information is missing, I ask for clarification.
Your documents are handled as confidential working material. Identifying details and work samples are not published or shared without permission.
