Matthew Niel Founder & Career Document Specialist
The specialist
I don't write resumes. I build the case for you.
Most professionals undersell themselves on paper. Not because the work wasn't significant, but because a career lived day to day rarely translates itself into a clear, competitive argument.
Matniel Career Solutions is the practice of Matthew Niel — the name is his own. Every engagement is handled personally: he runs the consultation, asks the questions, and writes the document. Nothing is passed to a queue or assembled from a template.
The work is drawing out the decisions, results and leadership that get flattened into job descriptions, then building documents that read the way a hiring committee thinks — what did you own, what changed because of you, and why does that matter for the role in front of you.
Strategic positioning
What the document argues is decided before a single line is written.
Professional storytelling
Career history becomes a narrative with direction and a clear through-line.
Executive presentation
Structure and language calibrated for senior and board-level readers.
One point of contact
Matthew from first conversation to final file. No handoffs.
Who we help
For people whose experience has outgrown their resume.
The higher you climb, the less a list of duties explains. Most clients arrive at a point where scope and judgement need to be argued, not listed.
01
Executives & C-suite
Board-facing documents that lead with mandate, scale and outcome.
02
Managers & directors
Evidence of leadership and results at team and function level.
03
Career changers
Translating a track record into the language of a new industry.
04
Experienced professionals
Specialists competing for a small number of strong roles.
Why Matniel
Six commitments behind every document.
Not features — the working method, and the reason clients return for each subsequent move in their career.
A personalized approach
Every document is developed around your individual experience, goals, industry and career direction. Nothing is adapted from someone else's file.
Strategic positioning
Your experience is presented in a way that communicates value, leadership and measurable impact — aimed squarely at the roles you're targeting.
Executive-level presentation
Polished, professionally formatted documents built to hold their own in competitive senior-level selection processes.
Professional storytelling
Career history becomes a narrative that makes your value obvious to a reader who has ninety seconds and a stack of applications.
Attention to detail
Every document is structured, edited and refined for clarity and consistency — down to the verb tense and the line break.
Confidential & professional
Your career information, your search, and the fact that you're conducting one are handled with complete discretion.
The process
Six stages, in order.
Each stage produces something the next depends on. You see the work as it develops and approve it before it moves forward.
01 — Consultation
We start with a conversation
Your career history, goals, target roles and the opportunities you're competing for.
02 — Discovery
We find what you've buried
Structured questioning surfaces achievements and leadership evidence you'd never have listed.
03 — Strategy
We decide the argument
What the document must prove, in what order, and what gets cut to make room.
04 — Development
We write the draft
Resume, cover letter, TSQ, biography or profile — built to the agreed strategy.
05 — Refinement
We revise with you
Your review, our edit. Language and emphasis tightened until it reads right.
06 — Delivery
You receive final files
Polished documents in editable and submission-ready formats.
The redraft
Same career. Different argument.
A worked illustration of what changes between a duty and a demonstrated result.
Experience — Director of Operations
Illustrative sample · not a client document
Scope made explicit. A reader can place you on an org chart in one line.
A verb you own, a mechanism, and two numbers. The claim is now checkable.
"Involved in" becomes a defined role. Risk avoided counts as a result.
Leadership evidenced through what happened to other people's careers.
Stronger documents produce clearer positioning and better-informed conversations. Hiring decisions rest with employers — we don't promise interviews or offers.
Client feedback
In our clients' words.
What clients say about working with Matthew — and what changed in how they present their experience.
Matthew didn't just tidy up my resume — he pulled out results I'd completely forgotten I was responsible for. For the first time my experience read like a leadership story instead of a job description.
The consultation alone was worth it. He asked questions no one had asked me in twenty years of my career, and the executive biography he wrote is the clearest summary of my work I've ever had.
I was moving from public sector into consulting and had no idea how to reframe my experience. My TSQ and resume finally spoke the language of the roles I was actually applying for.
How we work
What working with Matthew protects.
One specialist, start to finish
You work directly with Matthew Niel, who interviews you and writes your documents personally.
Confidentiality by default
Career information, employer details and the existence of your search are never shared without written permission.
Cross-sector experience
Corporate, technical, public sector and consulting applications — including panel-scored and requirement-mapped processes.
Documents you can maintain
Delivered in editable formats with the reasoning explained, so you can update them yourself later.
Verified track record
Add confirmed figures here — years in practice, clients served, industries supported. Left blank rather than publish an unverified number.
Questions
Before you book.
Your current resume or CV if you have one, plus any job descriptions you're targeting. If you don't have a resume, that's fine — the consultation covers everything needed. Most of the material comes out of the discovery conversation rather than existing documents.
Six stages: consultation, discovery, strategy, development, refinement and delivery. You approve the strategy before drafting begins and review the draft before it's finalized.
Yes. Executive and senior-level documents are a core focus — C-suite, VP and director-level resumes written for competitive searches and executive search firms.
Yes. TSQ documents are a specialist area. Your evidence is mapped against each stated requirement, structured to the format the process requires, with technical depth kept readable for a scoring panel.
Yes — in long and short form, for board packs, company pages, conference programs and professional introductions.
Every document is written from scratch for one client and one career direction. No templates, and no adapting another client's file.
Turnaround depends on the document type and how quickly review feedback comes back. A timeline is confirmed at the consultation. If you have a submission deadline, say so at first contact.
Yes. Consultations run by video, phone or WhatsApp and documents are exchanged by email, so location isn't a constraint.
Yes. LinkedIn optimization can be taken on its own or alongside a resume, written for the platform rather than pasted from your resume.
Email matnielcareersolutions@gmail.com or message on WhatsApp with a short note about your career level and target role. Scope, timeline and fee are confirmed before any work begins.
