About Rebecca Worthen
As the founder of Career Keystone and a Certified Master Resume Writer (CMRW), I partner with C-suite executives, board candidates, and senior leaders to do one thing: translate complex, high-impact careers into brands that open the right doors.
I am a TORI Award winner, recognized by Career Directors International for exceptional strategy and storytelling in difficult career transitions — one of the most competitive distinctions in the resume writing profession. My work has been featured in Resumes for Dummies, 9th Edition.
My specialty is distillation. I take 20-plus years of enterprise leadership — the transformations, the P&L ownership, the cross-functional complexity — and extract the value, scale, and scope that a recruiter needs to see in the first 10 seconds, while preserving the strategic depth that earns the offer. Having worked as a recruiter myself, I understand exactly how LinkedIn Recruiter surfaces candidates, what hiring teams scan for, and what gets overlooked. That perspective shapes every document I produce.
At the executive level, a resume is not a career history. It is an argument — for why this leader is the safest, strongest, and most strategically relevant choice. My clients are typically navigating transitions that are complex by nature: confidential searches, board positioning, cross-industry pivots, or repositioning after years with a single organization. They come to me when the stakes are high enough that getting the brand right matters.
If that describes where you are, I'd like to hear about it.
