Tandem Powered offers a full suite of Professional Resume Writing, Career Development, and HR / Business Consulting services.
Our blog and podcast dive into the real stories and everyday strategies behind building a No Vacation Required life. We challenge outdated norms, share fresh perspectives, and explore what it means to find fulfillment right now—in a world that rarely makes it easy.
We are the first to say that powerful job search documents are only a part of a successful career management plan. That is why we place so much emphasis on the entire process; we want clients to walk away with a success orientation and the kind of bolstered confidence that can change their career trajectory. Projects are about a lot more than a new resume, and that’s why we love what we do.
Read MoreThe best jobs and careers are an extension of your strengths and values with (hopefully) a heavy dose of passion in the mix. Because that's the case – that fulfilling work is a natural extension of the best of you – your life will never be defined by your work. If you do the heavy lifting that's required to figure out who you are and what you should be doing with your life, work/life balance will rarely, if ever, be out of sync.

Read MoreThe job search process can be maddening, but trying to read tea leaves and figure out what a potential employer is thinking and doing just makes it more so. Don't waste valuable energy. Instead, do your best to focus on what you can control.
Read MoreA truly effective resume strikes just the right balance between presenting a solid track record of success and communicating potential. If you read my blog, you know that your resume needs to include both specific, quantifiable achievements and strategic curiosity gaps.
Read MoreIt is a shame to leave outstanding accomplishments off your resume simply because you are afraid to take credit for the whole achievement. With some thoughtful word choices, you can shine a spotlight on your contribution to a team achievement and really bolster your resume.
Read MoreI have a lot of exposure to the frustrations that companies have when it comes to finding quality candidates. Below, I’ll resurface something I shared as a speaker at a conference when asked about mistakes candidates make when competing for hot positions with big-name companies.
Read MoreIn the last few weeks, I've advised a couple of companies as they have worked to source candidates for critical senior level positions. In doing so, I was reminded of a very important resume truth – at least based on the way the "other side of the table" sees something that you (the candidate) likely view entirely differently.
