About Us

Our company really wasn't a company for many years.  It was just the freelance career of Leisa Good -- that's me. 

I began writing resumes for friends during the mid-90's and just never stopped.  I learned how to write resumes at what was then the prestigious Washington Business School -- now Sanford-Brown College in Vienna, Virginia.  I had a "knack" for it and just kept cranking out those resumes.

As I continued to work in the Corporate World, I was privileged to learn from hiring managers and recruiters what they really wanted to see in a resume.  More importantly I learned "insider's tips" as to what they didn't want to see in a resume.

During the early part of the Year 2000 the Internet became full-circle, and I also went back to school to study advertising.  It was then and there that I discovered a resume needs to be more than a chronological record of work history. 

A resume needs to be a powerful self-promotion.  The same or similar marketing techniques that I learned to sell consumer products via web sites could also be used to sell business services/skills via resumes.

Add a benefits-rich cover letter, and your resume becomes your best marketing tool towards getting the job and salary you want.

In April 2006 I began my company, GBS Virtual Office Solutions, formerly Gemstone Business Solutions.  I added not only resume writing but also many other skills and services.  Gemstone Resume Writing is a part of that company.  For more information on other services, please visit that web site.
