MS-103: Helping Teens Find Their Tribe: Texas A&M Baptist Student Ministry Intern shares strategies to help teens make a smooth transition from high school to college. Jul 08, 2020

MS-102: Helping Teens Stand Out Amongst Their Peers- The Founder of My Resume Speaks, Marcus Gunn shares how the MRS platform helps teens stand out from the crowd to get into college and secure employment Jul 01, 2020

Hardship can be the tipping point that leads to revolutionary breakthroughs. After many years in various sales and marketing positions, Marcus found himself out of work. As he dredged through the rigorous hiring process with tedious recruitment hoops to jump through, lengthy job board postings and too many applications lost in the system to even count, he knew something had to change. His vision was born from his own experience in the very daunting interim of the job search.

Marcus realized his resume had no personality. No voice. No emotion. All his life, Marcus was known for his vivacious personality and charismatic nature, in his business and his personal relationships. But none of these crucial qualities were being shown, much less helping his efforts to be hired. All the time spent on applications and resumes was falling flat because he was being reduced to a piece of paper stating facts, instead of the lively, engaging, successful salesman he was.

This experience is not unique to Marcus. At MyResumeSpeaks, Inc. we come to work every day with the goal of building a platform that will give both our partners (applicants and employers) the tools needed to bring resumes to life. We strategically focus on remedying the gaping holes in today’s employment process. From the colorless stack of applications to the lack of feedback on how applicants can succeed, we hone in on which parts of the process work and which ones are system failures. Today we provide the most engaging data platform available, including providing video analytics to help candidates adjust their approach in certain areas.

Our vision at MyResumeSpeaks is to break the cycle and bring your resume to life.

Dawn Freeman takes a vision and makes it reality through comprehensive strategy development and tenacious ambition. She intuitively identifies an opportunity with purpose, evaluates its impact on a long-term goal or objective, develops a path to completion, and drives the opportunity and goal to the finish line. She is an inspirational leader whose passion and determination motivates and encourages others to step outside of their comfort zone and aspire to do more. Respected as a credible voice in business and on a personal level, Dawn earns a seat at the table wherever she serves.

Dawn is not a stranger to incarceration or recidivism. She has experienced several of her immediate family members go in and out of jail and prison over the years. Some of the stints of incarceration were due to poor decision-making, and some were due to the harsh realities of mental illness and their inability to stay motivated to get and keep their lives on the right path. Additionally, Ms. Freeman has several family members who dedicated 20+ years to law enforcement and corrections, which provides her with an even greater perspective on the challenges of pre-release programming and reentry, not just from the viewpoint of the incarcerated individual, but that of the corrections and law enforcement family.

Since 2008, Ms. Freeman has financially supported the reentry efforts of her church and local non-profit organizations. In 2016, Dawn expanded her community service efforts beyond a monetary contribution and began volunteering her personal time to a local reentry focused non-profit organization as a Facilitator. After engaging with individuals with backgrounds like her own family members and due to her decade long tenure in the corrections industry, the concept of The Securus Foundation was born. With the guidance and support of the Executive Team at Securus Technologies, The Securus Foundation is a reality.

Dawn holds an M.B.A. with an Accounting specialization and B.A. in Business Administration with a specialization in Management from Saint Leo University. She is the mother of three children, a product of a military and faith-based upbringing, and she is active member of The Potter’s House in Dallas.
