Maria Velez

Professional Resume Writer

Born and raised in New York City, I spent my childhood between the busy city life of New York and sunny Los Angeles. Having traveled to 15 countries by the time I was a Senior in High School, I knew life would take me places. Choosing the University of Oregon for my undergraduate studies was one of the best decisions of my life. The tranquil environment and the long hikes allowed me to learn about myself and firm up my future goals. ​Armed with a degree in Psychology, I was ready for the next chapter. My first job out of school was at Daimler Trucks North America, which allowed me to learn about the automotive manufacturing process at one of America's most iconic vehicle brands. My next move to Dallas and my first HR role was with AT&T. Telecommunications was truly a fascinating field and I enjoyed the year I spent in that industry. A more responsible HR role was around the horizon for me with one of the largest engineering and construction companies in the country at that time, Chicago Bridge & Iron Company. With tech being the force behind the innovative wave, my next role in 2011 had me going back to California as I joined Broadcom in a HR Generalist role. 4 years offered ample time to understand the difference between Java and JavaScript, and the difference between front-end and full-stack developer. After enjoying the beautiful weather, it was time to come back home to New York and foray into the world of retail as a HR Manager at Bloomingdale's.​Over the years, I have screened atleast half a million resumes and in general, I found that people needed help to craft more effective resumes. In 2019, I made the boldest of my moves yet, I became a Professional Resume Writer. My intention was to leverage my experience of diverse industries, such as automotive, telecom, construction, tech and retail to offer job seekers a cost-effective service for their career advancement.
