Karen Nicholas Communications

Freelance Writer & Communications Professional

Millig Design Build

I recruited and onboarded new employees and created various communication pieces to increase employee engagement. I created a Human Resources department and established internal communications best practices. I helped plan events and contributed to our marketing communications efforts.

Director of Communications & Employee Relations

Willdan Performance Engineering 

I provided communication strategy, developed content for both internal and external audiences and recruited new employees for our division. 

I created targeted communications to ensure employee engagement. I identified new ways to improve and innovate our internal and external communication practices and channels, including monthly update meetings, a branded Medium.com site, video communications, etc. 

I also recruited, hired, and onboarded new employees. I focused on furthering initiatives around Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, particularly in the hiring, recruiting, and onboarding process.

Communications & Talent Acquisition Manager

I designed presentations to share critical findings with clients, focusing on simplicity and client engagement. I also helped package our data into consumable content such as charts, graphs, etc.

University of Kansas

As the first communications person for the IT Department, I created and oversaw all communication efforts, including communications planning, crisis communications, and copywriting. I developed internal communication strategies and materials to support new launches, programs, and processes. 

I distilled complex, technical information into simple, digestible, and actional messages for diverse internal audiences, including students, faculty, and staff.  I also built relationships with other departments and team members to ensure seamless launches of new technologies and programs.

IT Communications & Media Relations Manager

David Evans and Associates, Inc.

As the first person in my role,  I created and executed a media relations program – including pitching media, writing press releases, ghostwriting bylines, and submitting applications for various awards. I ensured our external messages were consistent with our internal messages and focused my efforts on telling DEA’s brand story. 

I developed media pitches and articles to attract and engage with new talent through employee profiles in publications, company culture articles, and Best Places to Work awards. We were ranked on Fortune’s 100 Best Places to Work during my time in this role. 

I engaged with senior leadership and colleagues on media outreach opportunities and provided media training, including crisis communications guidance. 

I also assisted in various internal communications efforts, including contributions to internal newsletters and employee communication pieces.

Media Relations Manager

Account Supervisor

Special Olympics Texas

Public Relations Coordinator

Corporate Communications | Writer | Employee & Internal Communications - Helping companies engage with their employees and clients

In our current remote/hybrid work environment, engaging and communicating with employees has never been more challenging – or essential. Creating an environment for employees to be the best versions of themselves is not only a cultural win – it’s also a business win.

A Gallup "State of the Workplace" report found that when employees are engaged at work, profitability increases by 21%. Yet, this same report shared that 65% of employees aren’t engaged at work.

We spend a lot of time talking “at” people – not necessarily “to” them. My goal isn’t just to communicate a message. My goal is to ensure those messages are delivered and digested by the audience. It’s also my responsibility to provide executive guidance and direction when messages aren’t the right voice and fit for the audience.

With a background in media relations, editorial content creation, internal communications and employee relations, I bring a range of creative skills and experience to any position. Communicating with employees and partners can be a company's greatest strength rather than its biggest weakness.

Great Resumes Fast - Executive Resume Writing Service

Imagine hearing, “Your resume is the best I've ever seen.”

This is what the hiring manager at your dream company should say when they pick up your resume. (And then run to offer you a position before someone else can!)

If you’re not getting this type of response, it’s not that you’re not qualified, it’s that your current resume doesn’t reflect what you can really offer.

Let’s fix that.

You probably already know the secret to a stand-out resume is a memorable career story & personal brand.

This is where many job seekers get stuck.

Wouldn't it be amazing if your resume told a memorable narrative about who you are and how your unique skills transform companies?

Can you picture it...

- Recruiters landing in your inbox pitching great-fit jobs they’ve handpicked for YOU, roles you'd love to have, and that check all your boxes.

- Waking up every day energized to go to work instead of psyching yourself up.

- Breaking into a smile whenever someone asks you what you do instead of changing the subject.

- Feeling fulfilled in your present and excited for your future instead of stagnant, stuck, and purposeless.

This is the life you deserve.

It starts with a phone call.

I have loved every minute of it and have dedicated hundreds of hours to training, researching, and working to stay on the cutting edge of the career industry so that the work my resume writing team and I provide our clients is the best quality and highest caliber.

“I know what needs to be shared. I just can’t do it for myself.” I see you, humble, high-achiever. You’ve come to the right place.

Writing about yourself is hard. Singing your own praises? It's like painting a self-portrait without a mirror—you know every detail, but portraying the full picture accurately often needs an outside view.

Imagine:

- Your resume actually gets READ (not just skimmed)
- Your LinkedIn profile attracts top recruiters who want to talk to you
- You walk into interviews feeling confident and prepared

This isn't a dream—it's what happens when we apply smart branding strategies to your career.

I'm Jessica Hernandez, a 4X Certified Executive Branding & Career Strategist. I help high-achievers show off their skills, especially when they find it hard to brag about themselves.

That's where I come in. With my Executive BrandCrafting Methodology (fancy name, I know), I'll help you:

- Craft a resume that reads like a bestseller (but way shorter and with better career plot twists)

- Transform your LinkedIn profile into a beacon for opportunity (no actual beaming up involved)

Don't believe me? Just ask the execs at Tesla, Google, Amazon, and more who are rocking their careers thanks to our work together. 

Whenever you're ready here are 3 way I can help: 

#1: Job Seeker Central: 2X monthly Q&As, 16+ deep-dive expert recordings (AI, Ageism, ATS), 25+ templates, tools, recruiters lists—just $29/mo. → https://greatresumesfast.com/job-seeker-central/

P.S. If you DM me now, I'll throw in some nerdy job search memes. Because who says career advancement can't be fun?

P.P.S. When I'm off the clock, you'll find me nose deep in a mystery novel, at the fields cheering enthusiastically for my 3 favorite soccer players, or exploring local trails. Because life's too short for boring bios, right?

Jessica Hernandez, CPBS, CDCS

"I am 63 years old, I think by far ageism is my key limiting factor." 

A client shared this with me last week. 

Because ageism + outdated hiring habits are very real.

Resumes that quietly shout “I’m older” get filtered out before anyone sees your value.

Thankfully, fixing this is simple once you know where to start.
And unlike fighting the entire hiring system, this won’t cost you months of your life and every ounce of your confidence.

Use this 3-step Age-Smart Resume Framework 👇

1️⃣ Trim your timeline
Focus on the last 10–15 years.
Older roles can be moved into a short “Earlier Career” or “Additional Experience” line.

Tip: If a much older role is still essential, highlight the achievement, not the date.

2️⃣ Rewrite your summary
Instead of opening with “Seasoned professional with 25+ years of experience”, lead with who you are and what you do now (e.g., “Operations Director who cuts costs and improves delivery speed for global manufacturers.”).

Mistake to avoid: Putting “20+ / 30+ years of experience” in the first line of your resume or headline, it frames you by years, not impact.

3️⃣ Modernize education
If your degree is more than 3 years old, you don’t need graduation years. Listing the degree, school, and location is enough.

This keeps the focus on your qualifications, not the date you finished them.

Quick example:
 Avoid → “B.A. in English, George Washington University, 1979”
 Use → “B.A. in English, George Washington University, Washington, D.C.”

A quick example:
I worked with a client in his early 60s who had a 4-page resume:
- Every role since the late 80s
- “30+ years of experience” in the first line
- Graduation dates from decades ago
- Brilliant background.
 
But on paper, his resume was aging him before anyone got to his accomplishments.

We:
- Cut detailed experience to the last 15 years and turned older roles into a short “Earlier Career” section.

- Replaced “Seasoned professional with 30+ years…” with a strong branding line focused on outcomes.

- Removed old graduation dates and added recent upskilling and certifications near the top.

Within two weeks, he started getting more interviews for roles. Same person. Same experience. Different first impression.

3 reasons why this works:

Reason 1: It shifts the focus from age → relevance.
You’re showing what matters most to employers now: recent wins, relevant skills, and current impact. 

Reason 2: It removes unnecessary age “signals.”
Old dates, lengthy timelines, and "30+ years" language quietly trigger bias. When you edit those out, you’re not hiding your age; you’re removing distractions so your strengths get seen first.

Reason 3: It positions you as experienced and current.
A modern summary, focused timeline, and updated education section send a clear message: “I have depth of experience and I’m still growing, learning, and contributing.”

You don’t have to erase your history. You just have to present it in a way that lets employers see your value before your age.

"I have 25 years experience, but I have 25 years and ageism is real." - This from one of my readers as we were chatting about his biggest job search challenges.

If you've experienced ageism, you're sadly in the majority. 75% of professionals over 40 say they've experienced ageism. 

And, the higher up you are, the more prevalent it is. 93% of director-level employees surveyed reported having experienced ageism. 

It's a tough pill to swallow. As one client shared with me, "It's getting brutal out there and harder for more experienced people to gain a fighting chance."

But you are not without hope, friend. One of my absolute favorite strategies to evade ageism altogether is to instead go where your experience is deeply valued instead of viewed as a risk.

And you know who sees your experience as an asset? Small businesses. 

It’s the big corporations that don’t. Unfortunately, a lot of them think "all that experience" is a risk, but small businesses typically see that experience for what it is: priceless wisdom that adds immense value.

When we're making our target company list or applying online what we usually see are the big companies (with the money to pay for job board and posting subscriptions). 

But you know who makes up 99% of businesses (and hiring)? Small-to-medium-sized business. 

So my advice? Go where the jobs are. Go where your experience is valued not questioned. 

Chat with your neighbor, your hair stylist, and your favorite coffee shop barista. Post in your neighborhood's Facebook group, community board, or visit the Chamber of Commerce. 

You are not without resources. You have options and don't let anyone tell you that you don't.
