Jared specializes in executive positioning, career development, and corporate communications, helping more than 2,700 professionals and organizations articulate their value and navigate pivotal moments in their growth.

He is the author of Jared Redick’s Job Description Analysis (JDA), a widely used career decision-making tool among Fortune 500 executives and the University of California system.

History
“1984
At 14, Jared has his résumé written by a local temp agency, falls in love with the art, stumbles across “Résumés That Knock ‘Em Dead,” and starts writing fictitious résumés on his blue Smith Corona typewriter.”
“1997
Post-college and inundated with friend-and-family requests, Jared begins charging for résumé writing at age 27. Now on a Mac.”
“2000
Jared stumbles into retained executive search in New York, NY, where he works with Marks, Paneth & Shron Consulting at age 30, and recruits for nonprofit regional and national institutions and associations. He moonlights as a résumé writer.”

Jared joins retained executive search firm, The Alexander Group in San Francisco, CA, at age 33, where he recruits for Fortune-ranked companies in finance, tech, and the law. He continues moonlighting as a résumé writer, now on a PC.”

“2008
At 38, Jared opens The Résumé Studio full time with v.2 of the website and an e-newsletter.
Within two weeks, he has 27 clients. Turns out, that’s too many clients at once and Mac isn’t the way to go just yet, although he’s knee deep in Apple devices.”
“He develops The JDA over a plate of nachos, and a thousand ships are launched.”
“2011
Jared refreshes TheResumeStudio.com and begins officing on Post Street in downtown San Francisco, working in-person and virtually.”
