About Scott Gardner, cprw, cerw, cic
Your Career. Your Story. Your Advantage.
At Vitae Express, career services aren’t outsourced—they’re personalized, intentional, and built on trust. Every resume, every consultation, and every word is crafted by me, Scott Gardner, CPRW, CERW, CIC—a multi-certified, award-winning resume writer, career strategist, and former corporate recruiter with nearly two decades of experience helping professionals navigate hiring systems, clarify their value, and reach their next career milestone.
A Personal Approach to Professional Growth
Many resume firms rely on nameless writers or overseas contractors. At Vitae Express, you work directly with the expert behind the brand. I founded Vitae Express to offer professionals a higher standard—where strategy meets storytelling, and where career documents are thoughtfully crafted to align with your goals.
Credentials & Recognition
I hold the following industry credentials:
Certified Professional Resume Writer (CPRW)
Certified Executive Resume Writer (CERW)
Certified Interview Coach (CIC)
Before founding Vitae Express, I spent over a decade as a corporate recruiter, giving me firsthand insight into how hiring decisions are made—and how candidates truly stand out. Since 2017, I’ve been serving the Tampa Bay area and beyond full-time as a resume writer and job search coach.
I’m also a two-time winner of the Elite Circle Résumé Award from PARWCC, one of the industry's most competitive honors recognizing top-tier talent in resume writing. My work has been published by the National Résumé Writers’ Association (NRWA), Professional Association of Resume Writers & Career Coaches (PARWCC), and Career Directors International (CDI).
Speaking, Teaching & Thought Leadership
I am a frequent speaker at Tampa Bay colleges, universities, and professional organizations, where I deliver workshops on topics like:
Career Readiness & Branding
Resume Best Practices
LinkedIn Optimization
Navigating Today’s Job Market
As a contributor to the NRWA's Ask the Experts column and an active member of the Professional Association of Resume Writers & Career Coaches, I stay current on the trends, tools, and technologies shaping the modern job search.
My Mission
To empower individuals to tell their story with clarity, confidence, and credibility.
Every client is unique. That’s why I take time to understand your career journey, define your goals, and craft a personalized, results-focused resume or career strategy that helps you get where you want to go—faster.
