I am Kris Plantrich, a Certified Career Coach and Resume Writer and Owner of Basil Coaching Services. As a 9-time Certified Career Coach, I have been instrumental in providing top-quality, laser-focused career support to thousands of professional and executive-level clients.

As a 20+ year Resume Writer, I provide strategic Resume Document Packages that get results. I began writing resumes in 2004 and worked in a fast-paced “mill’ for almost 2 years. The resumes were not the caliber of document I was particularly proud of, which led to me launching ResumeWonders in 2006.

My experience at the mill taught me how to work quickly and effectively, ask good questions to get the right information the first time, and, most importantly – it taught me there was a better way to support my clients.  

Since then, I’ve developed a more reliable way to gather client information and deliver targeted, compelling products and rich in quantifiable achievements and strategic keywords that tell a story, engage recruiters and decision-makers, and work well with ATS systems.

If you plan to make a career change, it is more important than ever, in the extremely competitive job market, to have documents that showcase your value, skills, and achievements. Whether looking to move up the corporate ladder or make a career change, I can help.

I deliver Executive Career Coaching to my clients and partner with several Executive Resume Writing firms and Outplacement firms to support their clients’ coaching needs.

When I started my career, I assumed I would only be writing resumes, but quickly realized coaching was also where my interests and heart were.

I truly enjoy learning about my clients, understanding their current challenges, assisting in clarifying their career goals, and improving their job search knowledge. I work to provide clarity, instruction, resources, and tools for job seeker success.

Whether it's about defining your authentic brand, preparing for interviews, implementing specific job search strategies, or developing and maintaining a strong online presence through platforms like LinkedIn, I am here to help. In today's digital age, having a robust online presence is crucial, and I can provide the guidance and support you need to navigate the digital job market with confidence.
