The Write ResumeRanked in Recession Busters

The Write Resume

About the Winner

It seems so simple. A resume writing service. But Kathy Sweeney has made simple into sensational with her revenue busting The Write Resume. She goes a step further and provides interview coaching and career consulting. Her clients are entry- to executive-level candidates all across the world, 17 countries and counting. Her revenue has grown 20+% each year, which truly speaks to the recession-proof nature of the way she runs her company. Though she never meets most of her clients, Sweeney attributes her success to the strong relationship building she conducts with all clients. Today she's positioned as one of the most quoted career professionals in the world by journalists from almost every major news outlet, including CNN.com, Forbes.com, MSNBC.com and MSN.com. What comes of all her focus on relationship building? How about a 95% referral ratio, which means she has basically cut out almost all marketing and advertising expenses.
