Meet Courtney: Resume Writing & Career Coaching Expert
13+ years in HR and recruitment. A personal approach to helping you communicate your professional value.
I'm Courtney, the founder of Career Success Now. After more than 13 years working in human resources and talent acquisition across public and private sector environments in British Columbia, I know how much thought goes into hiring decisions—and how challenging it can be for qualified people to put their experience into words.
Today, I use that perspective to help job seekers and professionals strengthen their resumes, clarify their career direction and approach new opportunities with confidence. I offer professional resume writing and career coaching services for clients in Vancouver, Maple Ridge and across Canada.
Why I Started Career Success Now
In recruitment, I saw a recurring challenge: talented people often struggled to explain the work they had done and the difference they had made. Some undersold their achievements. Others listed responsibilities without showing the skills or results behind them.
That gap between having experience and communicating experience is what motivates my work today.
Career Success Now was built to help professionals tell their story with greater clarity. Whether you're preparing your first professional resume, returning to work, changing industries or pursuing a leadership role, the goal is the same: show employers what you genuinely bring to the table.
I believe career guidance should be straightforward, encouraging and grounded in your actual experience—not inflated claims or a generic template.
Help people recognize the value they already bring.
“In essence, we show our clients how amazing they already are then empower them to communicate this to their dream employers. It’s a beautiful process.”
— Courtney, Founder of Career Success Now
Why Work With an HR Professional for Resume Writing?
A resume isn't just a document. It's a professional introduction. My recruitment background shapes how I help clients organize their experience and communicate qualifications that matter for their target roles.
Hiring-Side Perspective
Having worked in recruitment, I understand why clear experience, relevant qualifications and credible accomplishments matter when employers review applications.
Personalized Resume Writing
Your career history is unique. We focus on your roles, responsibilities, strengths and goals rather than filling in a one-size-fits-all template.
Achievement-Focused Content
We look beyond task lists to identify meaningful contributions, results and examples that accurately demonstrate your professional value.
Career Transition Support
Changing industries or roles? We identify transferable skills and explain how your existing experience connects with your next opportunity.
Clear, ATS-Conscious Formatting
We favour readable structure, familiar section headings and relevant language. No resume can guarantee an interview or compatibility with every applicant tracking system.
Practical Career Coaching
Career conversations should help you make decisions. We discuss professional positioning, job-search priorities and next steps that fit your situation.
It's More Than a Resume
Before I think about wording, I want to understand the person behind the experience: what you've accomplished, what you're proud of and what you want to do next.
My aim is to help you leave the process with not only stronger career materials, but also a clearer way to talk about your qualifications.
Honest Guidance. Clear Direction. A Human Approach.
I'm known for a down-to-earth, straightforward approach. I care about building trust, asking thoughtful questions and finding practical solutions to the challenges my clients bring.

- We identify the skills and achievements most relevant to your next step.
