ABOUT US

Our Mission is Your Career Future

As a career services company, we at Career Thinker partner with people serious about growing their careers and taking ownership in their successes.

We believe you would be hard-pressed to find another career company that truly has your back the way we do. In our process together, you will get even more clarity on how to showcase your best self and prepare for a successful interview.

In addition to our professional resume writing and personal branding expertise, we have an in-depth understanding of what employers are looking for as we’ve been part of hiring teams in the trenches of Corporate America.

Our expertise in Human Resources, staffing, operations, P&L, merchandising, safety, customer service, inventory control, and hiring management positions serves you as our writers know what “language” to speak when addressing your next career position.

With a focus on you, our Certified Professional Resume Writers (CRRW) use a specific methodology coupled with your skills to develop and highlight your professional “brand.” This will optimize your opportunities when seeking employment, including job search and interviewing education in addition to the written deliverables that amplify your image and brand value.


Here is a bit of a roadmap about what to expect
when working with Career Thinker.

  1. You are dedicated to finding a job. You’re as “all in” as we are and willing do your part in the preparation of your own professional brand. “Your hired!” is the end game we both seek.
  2. You’ll take a DISCstyles™ assessment which will help you learn about your behaviors, leadership and communication styles. Your report also helps our writers highlight your unique style. You’ll have a direct relationship with one of several of our certified professional resume writers that best fits your career future.
  3. Once content is written, all resumes, cover letters, online profiles for social media presence, and any other contracted pieces will be reviewed by a separate editor. This process will eliminate anything distracting to your goal of landing an interview. You’ll get a 90-minute consultation where we ask probing questions and listen to your stories to extract more value from your career past.
  4. We utilize keyword matching ATS software on your content which recruiters and hiring managers use in screening resume, optimizing your odds of getting your resume in front of human eyes.
  5. You will be expected to present yourself beyond your resume. Our popular interview coaching will prepare you for many different types of interview situations.

We are proud to be active in the career service industry. We are members of the NRWA (National Resume Writers Association), PARW/CC (Professional Association of Resume Writers and Career Coaching), CTL (Career Thought Leaders), and TCE (The Career Experts).

Our Beginning

In 2011, our founder and CEO, Thomas Powner, CPRW, CEIP, CCMC, CDCC, decided to create Career Thinker after dedicating decades to driving measurable growth for a variety of companies. He knew he could positively impact others to career success with his knowledge, inspiration, coaching and leadership skills.

Beginning in New York City and the immediate tri-state area, then expanding to Florida, now Career Thinker works nationally including Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, Dallas and Las Vegas.


In addition to career experience, Tom has expanded his credentials to include:

  • Certified Professional Resume Writer (CPRW)
  • Certified Career Management Coach (CCMC)
  • Certified Employment Interview Professional (CEIP)
  • Certified DISCstyles™ Communication Consultant (CDCC)
  • LinkedIn Strategist
  • Reach Certified Social Branding Analyst (RCSBA)
  • Career Thought Leaders (CTL)
  • The Career Experts (TCE)
  • Active participant in Forbes Coaching Council

With his goal in creating “Connectivity” for business opportunities, he stresses the value of LinkedIn as a key format in how people showcase their talent and how companies seeking that expertise can streamline their search criteria.

Now considered a thought leader in the career services industry, LinkedIn Profinder awarded Tom Powner the “Best of 2017” for best in class for “Resume Writing.” He is also the NCOPE (Nationally Certified Online Profile Expert), where he teaches career professionals how to unleash the power of LinkedIn for career success.

In addition to creating powerful career documents (resumes, bios, cover letters, etc.), it was important to him to provide not only the career services he and his team provide but also be a resource for the “hidden” knowledge people rarely or never consider when looking for a job. Thus, the reason this website is loaded with tips, techniques, and tidbits helpful in getting you closer to landing your job.
