Welcome to Metro Detroit Resumes, where John Holland brings over 25 years of diverse experience spanning training, facilitation, marketing, and business consulting — all built on a foundation of helping others communicate effectively. His passion for resume writing began during graduate school at Wayne State University, where he earned a Master of Arts in Communication Studies and a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration.

 

During graduate school, John had the privilege of working for a leading non-profit dedicated to leadership development and advancing underrepresented talent — an experience that significantly influenced his approach to resume writing. The organization's mission, combined with insights from his organizational development and interpersonal communication courses, deepened his understanding of how careers are built and the importance of helping others articulate their unique value. These formative experiences continue to inspire his thoughtful, client-centered process today.

 

John approaches each project with empathy, care, and a commitment to capturing what makes every client unique. He believes the best resumes are created through collaboration, taking the time to understand each client’s background, goals, and challenges. Whether meeting virtually or in person — a personalized option many clients appreciate — John creates a welcoming space for clients to share their stories. The result is a resume that not only highlights accomplishments but is strategically aligned with the client’s target position, empowering them to move forward with confidence in their job search.
