Gary Jacobstein: Architect of Narratives

From Buffalo’s snowy streets to the southern charm of Arkansas, Gary Jacobstein’s journey has always revolved around telling a compelling story. A graduate of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, Gary quickly became the go-to guy for peers needing their talents and ambitions articulated on paper. Recognizing the gap between one’s abilities and how they appear on a resume, he found his calling: creating documents that reflect the real person behind the bullet points.

Now based in Hartford, Connecticut, Gary shares a Victorian-era home with Eleanor, his art historian wife. This century-old residence—replete with woodwork, stained glass, and whispered histories—inspires his passion for narrative. Weekends often find him exploring other historic buildings or indulging his admiration for Frank Lloyd Wright’s designs. True to his character, Gary believes a well-crafted resume, like any architectural masterpiece, should be timeless, structurally sound, and deeply personal.

When he’s not orchestrating resumes or breathing life into cover letters, Gary’s likely out on the Long Island Sound, sailing to clear his mind and gather new ideas. He’s also an avid host—organizing monthly book and wine clubs where the conversation flows as freely as the Merlot. A collector at heart, his study is filled with vintage pens and watches, each representing a story he can’t wait to tell.

Driven by a desire to help job seekers stand out, Gary merges personal storytelling with proven resume strategies to showcase clients’ achievements in the best possible light. From Buffalo to Hartford, from a simple bullet point to a powerful professional narrative, Gary Jacobstein proves every journey is a story worth telling—and telling well.
