Dawn Rasmussen, CMP, certified résumé writer

Dawn Rasmussen, a certified résumé writer, is the president of Portland, Ore.-based Pathfinder Writing and Career Services and author of “Forget Job Security: Build Your Marketability” which is the first-ever book that provides a complete roadmap on how manage your career.

What makes Dawn “tick”? A relentless and tireless desire to help everyone understand the importance of actively managing their career every minute of every day.

She helps clients and conference attendees think about their careers differently by pushing their envelope (in a good way), which is the first step in the journey where job seekers and employees begin to actively manage their career destinies.

When she isn’t busy working with résumé clients, speaking to conference groups internationally and nationally, writing articles / blogs, or teaching, Dawn is hiking in Oregon’s spectacular outdoors, kayaking, or plotting her next adventure.

And you should know that her most recent adventure during the COVID-19 pandemic has been acting as a stand-in mama raising an abandoned fawn, Thor, who was found on her property. Yet another thing to put on Dawn’s own resume: Deer Mama!
