The Art of 5-Star Resume Writing
Brandon Mitchell
President & Chief Resume Writer
Instructor

Unlike what most people think.
You don’t need a website, a fancy laptop, or a ton of computer programs to get started.
I started back in 2015 with just a regular laptop and Microsoft Word. I struggled with understanding how to make sales, efficiently write resumes, and grow my business.
