ROI Résumés founding partner Linda Merry Gutin is a job search coach specializing in guiding professionals through career transitions, including into tech – and in turning job search frowns upside down.
When asked, “How’d you get started doing résumés?,” she quotes a hometown friend: “It’s no surprise Linda G. became a writer/editor. I remember in junior high, when we passed her a note, she’d pass it back with the spelling corrected.”
While being a typo-spotter does not a résumé expert make, studying what motivates people to lead, learn, manage, and maximize productivity and profitability definitely helped. It has allowed her to show clients what career fulfillment looks like, and how to tell stories that highlight their value to land jobs they love.
After a stint with Booz-Allen & Hamilton writing professional bios and a lively corporate newsletter, Linda G. was encouraged to try standup. For several years, while getting on stage in NYC and LA at night, she supported herself writing résumés and cover letters by day. Earlier in her career, Linda G. loved being a customer service supervisor for International Paper Company’s White Papers Group in Memphis.
Born in the Bronx and raised in Teaneck, NJ, Linda G. now resides in Durham, North Carolina, where she also practices writing her own bio in the third person.
