Day 15
The idea forms under pressure
Chui Senanayake was unemployed, his wife was six months pregnant, and insurance was about to run out by the end of the month.
Who we are
The job search changed. So we built a better way through it.
The Job Helpers began with firsthand experience: the pressure, uncertainty, and urgency of needing work fast. That experience became a practical career service built around resume strategy, ATS awareness, and human guidance.
93.7%of US employers screen resumes with an Applicant Tracking System.
75%of candidates can be filtered out before a recruiter reads the resume.
7 secis about how long a recruiter spends on a first read.
The problem we saw
Qualified people were getting screened out before they could be understood.
Automated screening, fast recruiter review, and heavy competition make a plain resume harder to rely on.
Founder origin
A company born from a very human deadline.
Chui Senanayake founded The Job Helpers after going through the same job-search pressure many candidates face. The lesson was clear: people need more than encouragement. They need a stronger strategy.
- Day 28
A job offer changes the lesson
After many attempts, Chui was hired on the 28th day of his search. The experience showed him how much strategy matters.
- Today
A career firm built around that insight
The Job Helpers now supports working professionals, job seekers, career changers, entrepreneurs, and leaders with career documents, branding, and development support.
Our approach
We stopped treating resumes like documents and started treating them like career campaigns.
A blend of human touch and modern tools. The goal is to help a candidate communicate clearly, pass technical screening, and give recruiters a reason to keep reading.
Positioning
Turn experience into a marketable story
The resume is treated as a career marketing document, not a biography or a list of daily responsibilities.
Optimization
Write for systems and humans
The team accounts for ATS filters while keeping documents readable for recruiters and hiring managers.
Guidance
Support the whole search
The Job Helpers describes its role as a partner in career success, with personalized support shaped around each job seeker's needs.

A message from Chui
From two suitcases in Fargo to 15,000 resumes.
Sixteen years ago, I traveled from 85-degree Sri Lanka to -50-degree weather in fabulous Fargo, North Dakota. I was 19, homeless, living out of 2 suitcases after my one-way trip to the dreamland.
Today, I am an MBA graduate with over 15 years of experience helping clients in numerous prestigious small, medium, and large-scale organizations.
When I came up with the idea to establish The Job Helpers, I was out of a job. I went through the same grueling procedure that most job seekers do. My health insurance was running out, and I had to find employment fast with a baby on the way. On the 28th day of my job hunt, I received an offer from a world-renowned Microsoft partner, and I've been applying the strategies I learned to support others to succeed.
Today, we have a great team of resume writers who have written 15,000+ resumes, recruiters with 20+ years of experience, and career experts who have helped job seekers receive job offers within 2-3 weeks.
