Professional resume writing service Surrey BC — Resume Ninjas tells your career story right

About Amen & Resume Ninjas

Resume Ninjas exists because Amen lived what her clients are living. She’s navigated toxic workplaces, invisible ceilings, and the kind of self-doubt that makes you question whether you’re even worth applying for. She knows what it costs — emotionally, financially, personally — to feel stuck in a career that doesn’t reflect who you are. So she built the service she wished she’d had: one that treats your career not as a transaction, but as a turning point.

Meet Amen Dadwal

Amen Dadwal founder of Resume Ninjas — professional resume writing service Surrey BC Vancouver

Bold. Empathetic. Unapologetically Real.

Amen Dadwal has been a recruiter who rejected resumes and a coach who helped people fix them. That dual perspective — knowing exactly what makes a hiring manager stop scrolling, and knowing exactly what it feels like to be on the other side — is what makes her different from every other resume writer you’ll find. She won’t tell you what you want to hear. She’ll tell you what will actually get you hired.

Her work is infused with deep emotional intelligence, practical wisdom, and 
an unwavering belief that every person deserves to be seen for their brilliance.

As Founder and Head Career Strategist of Resume Ninjas, Amen has helped thousands of professionals — from new graduates to executives — land positions that reflect not only their skills, but their self-worth. Her clients leave not just with resumes that stand out, but with renewed confidence, clarity, and conviction in their purpose.


“Most people come to me for a resume. They leave with something they didn’t know they needed — a clear picture of how great they actually are, and the confidence to go prove it.”
— Amen Dadwal

She’s been there. She understands.

The Heart Behind the Mission

Amen is a single mother who has rebuilt her own life more than once. She’s left toxic workplaces, navigated financial instability, and found her footing again — not by waiting for circumstances to change, but by choosing, again and again, to move forward anyway.

That’s why she works especially well with women returning to work after motherhood, leaving situations that diminished them, or starting over after relationships that took more than they gave. She’s not offering sympathy from a distance. She’s been in those rooms.

Her coaching draws on something deeper than career strategy. Through her own work in neurofeedback and nervous system regulation, Amen has learned that confidence isn’t something you think your way into — it’s something you build through the body, through safety, through someone finally reflecting back to you how capable you actually are. That’s what she creates for every client who sits across from her.

Beyond the Boardroom

When she’s not transforming careers, Amen is outside — hiking, biking, paddle boarding, grounding by the water, and exploring with her son. Nature is where she recharges. It’s also where some of her best ideas for clients seem to find her.

She’s an artist in every sense, from painting and designing, to currently writing her first book: a deeply personal reflection on courage, healing, and what it really takes to start over. The same themes she helps clients navigate every day.

Amen has never kept her gifts to herself. Friends, family, fellow entrepreneurs, she’s shown up for all of them the same way she shows up for paying clients. With full presence, honest counsel, and an unshakeable belief in what’s possible. Because for Amen, empowerment has never been a transaction. It’s always been a calling.

When one person reclaims their power, the world around them changes. She’s seen it enough times to know it’s true.

Backstory: This client worked in IT but was unmotivated and emotionally checked out. Though his job was “stable,” it didn’t bring joy—and his partner was beginning to question where his life was going. Fear of leaving the comfort zone and not knowing where to start had kept him stuck for years.

How Resume Ninjas Helped:
Amen’s coaching goes beyond templates. In their session, she asked powerful questions like:

  • “What does success mean to you?”
  • “What’s actually stopping you?”
  • “Are you afraid to fail—or afraid to succeed?”


By helping him reconnect with his own story and strengths, she transformed his resume into a mirror of what he had actually accomplished. It was a confidence reframe, wrapped in a resume. She then coached him through interviews—offering insights, encouragement, and scripts that made him feel prepared.

Within one week, he landed interviews. Within days, he had an offer with a $30,000 salary increase.

Results:

  • Landed a new role with a $30K pay bump
  • Gained renewed self-worth and excitement about his career
  • Received powerful coaching to overcome internal fears
  • Left the session knowing: “I’ve got this.”

Why It Worked:
Amen’s unique combination of strategic resume editing, deep listening, and mindset coaching gave him the push he needed. She’s not just a resume writer—she’s a career catalyst.


“I forgot how talented I was until Amen reminded me. I walked away not just with a job—but with belief in myself again.”

Backstory: This client reached out in secret. In a controlling marriage where financial transactions were monitored, she couldn’t even send an e-transfer or use a card without her husband finding out. But she was determined to take her first step toward independence—and that step was a resume.

How Resume Ninjas Helped:
Amen met her where she was—literally and emotionally.
Understanding the sensitivity of her situation, Amen offered to meet in person and accept payment in cash. More importantly, she offered non-judgmental space and emotional safety, reminding her of her strengths and education, and showing her the career potential she thought was lost. Even before the resume was written, the client broke down in tears, saying, “You’re an angel. I’m so grateful I called you.”

Amen’s coaching goes far beyond technical formatting—it’s trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and rooted in empowerment. With every conversation, she helped this woman believe she was worthy of a future—and that she wasn’t alone.

Results:

  • Received a resume tailored to her unique experience and safety needs
  • Built enough trust to take the next step toward employment
  • Planted the seed for long-term career support

Why It Worked:
Amen’s experience supporting women returning from maternity, abusive relationships, or major life changes gives her a special ability to see the human behind the resume. She doesn’t just write documents—she offers hope, safety, and clarity during life’s messiest transitions.


“Amen reminded me who I was before life broke me. I finally felt seen.”

Backstory: This client was more than just a job seeker—she was a mother, a caregiver, and a woman trying to rebuild her life after years of financial struggle.

Backstory: This client was more than just a job seeker—she was a mother, a caregiver, and a woman trying to rebuild her life after years of financial struggle. Working as a secretary while raising three children and supporting a husband with mental health challenges, she realized minimum wage wouldn’t be enough to sustain her family. She dreamed of doing something more fulfilling, something hers—but she questioned whether it was too late.

How Resume Ninjas Helped:
Amen didn’t just build her brand and hand her a resume—she helped her transform her life and build a future.
With over two decades of experience in career development, Amen knew this transformation needed more than paperwork. Through personalized coaching strategies sessions, Amen helped her explore entrepreneurship in a field she already loved: electrolysis. She guided her through every step—researching certifications, building confidence, and launching a business from the ground up.
Amen even brought her branding expertise into play: she named the business, designed the flyers, created her business cards, and helped market the service. It became a family affair—her kids delivered door to door flyers while Amen mentored and cheered her on every step of the way.

Results:

  • Launched a successful laser hair removal and esthetics home based studio (offering esthetics, laser, facials, electrolysis, microdermabrasion, and more)
  • Went from laid off struggling employee to confident self-made South Asian single mom entrepreneur in Surrey, BC
  • Learned to market herself through resume storytelling, & branding and faith
  • Built a legacy business her family lineage supports

Why It Worked:
Amen’s nurturing but strategic approach helps clients see beyond their current job search—she supports whole life transformations. With deep empathy rooted in her own experience, she helped this client reimagine what was possible at any stage of life.
