I’M SUE SCHLOM
I’m a Recruiter, Job Search Advisor, and Career Coach
About Sue
Hi, I’m Sue Schlom.
I’m an expert in the technology and processes that organizations use to recruit, screen, interview, and hire candidates.
My background is in corporate recruiting. I started my recruiting career in Chicago with PepsiCo (Quaker, Tropicana, and Gatorade) and Wrigley (the gum, not the field).
In 2010, I moved to Vermont, and for the last 14 years I’ve been recruiting for great companies like Seventh Generation, Darn Tough, Magic Spoon and VEIC.
I’ve also been teaching job search skills at the University of Vermont and Johns Hopkins, and offering job search advising for students, young professionals, mid-career job changers, and folks re-entering the workforce.
Because I’m a recruiter first, my perspective is one of how companies recruit. My role isn’t to teach you how to apply for a job, it’s to help you get the job you want.
Feel free to schedule a Discovery Call — I'm happy to answer any questions about your job search or review your resume with you.

Excellent Career Coach
My recruiting experience forms the basis of my one-on-one career coaching.
I put that knowledge to use helping professionals in multiple industries launch, develop, and switch career paths.
My passion is working one-on-one to help job seekers to identify career paths, understand the new rules around targeted resumes, and sharpen their job search skills.
That’s why I founded The Targeted Resume.
These are some of the companies I’ve recruited for
“My mission is to provide personalized, results-driven advice and share proven strategies to ensure your job search is a success.”

91% of clients are very likely to recommend Sue to friends and family.
How Does the Targeted Resume Help?
As a career coach, job search advisor, and resume expert, Sue will work with you one-on-one, meeting online weekly. You’ll discuss your career goals, research what types of jobs are available, and create a job search strategy that really works.
Together, you’ll build a targeted resume based on a job description you select. Sue will show you how recruiters’ source candidates on LinkedIn and how to update your LinkedIn profile, and guide you through ways to increase your confidence networking online and in-person.
She’ll help get you prepared for interviews, and even discuss tactics for negotiating an offer.
“I want to thank you for your time and assistance with my resume again. Like I promised, I am writing today because I have received an offer letter from the job we targeted my resume for. I am very excited about this new opportunity.”
— Mary B.
