Principal Profile

Tina Gonzales, Principal, CPRW, CEIP

Greater Cleveland Resume Writer, Tina Gonzales, had the good fortune of grooming her business acumen in sales & marketing, human resources and recruiting environments. As it turned out, each of those areas would be critical to her success as an entrepreneur in the executive career transition industry.

I would highly recommend Tina Gonzales’ resume writing services to professionals looking to make an immediate career change, or the individual who wants to be prepared for the unexpected opportunity by having an updated resume on-hand.

D. Harter, Engineer, NASA

In the Sales & Marketing Department at Premier Industrial Corporation she was dubbed 'Scoop Morgan' in recognition of her strengths in nurturing relationships with both corporate executives and field support staff that supported her success in gathering information to design and rollout the division's first newsletter.

Determined to build on her experiences outside of Ohio, she relocated to Los Angeles, California. Three days after her arrival, she was placed by a recruiting firm in the Human Resources Department of Mitsui Manufacturers Bank. She later learned that they were all too eager to hire folks with good Midwestern work ethics. Her time there was a meaningful learning ground for cultural diversity and corporate HR practices.

Ultimately, she returned to Cleveland and was recruited to join Ernst & Whinney, which later became Ernst & Young, as Assistant to the National Director, Employee Assistance Program. Her primary role was developing and maintaining relationships with organizations nationwide to support emergency placement of corporate executive team members. She was later selected to join E&Y's internal Executive Relocation department to support newly hired and transferred firm executives.

After working with Tina, I received an interview from almost every job I applied for and it took me less than two months to accept an offer.

Julia Damelio

A self-motivated, determined, entrepreneur at heart, she looked to create a venue that would allow her to contribute strengths cultivated in each of her corporate experiences. After thoughtful planning and risk control management she successfully executed the launching of eXclusively Resumes, February, 1996. Early clients were primarily new graduates and middle management employees. While working with those clients she benefited from an apprenticeship program with a published resume writer based in Atlanta, Georgia. Following completion of the one year mentoring program, she sat for and successfully earned the Certified Professional Resume Writer and Certified Employment Interview Professional designations.

As the first Greater Cleveland Area business owner to secure those designations, she made it her marketing initiative to promote community awareness of this credentialing process in order to assist individuals in selecting a quality firm to support career transition needs. Ambitious marketing efforts resulted in resume and cover letter writing features in the Cleveland Plain Dealer, a NewsChannel 5 feature offering Interview Tips, and opportunities to write Expert Resume Writing Tips articles for the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the Employment Guide, and Nursing Weekly publications.

After earning professional designations, services focused primarily on mid-to-senior level executives and included resume and cover letter design, interview coaching, Internet search engine postings and corporate outplacement. It seemed the firm had outgrown the name, ‘eXclusively Resumes’. In 2003, the firm name transitioned to CareerComm.com without an interruption to the existing and former client base.
