Resume Writing Process
Our resume writing process is designed to produce a targeted, well-optimized resume.
A well-optimized resume should:
- Place your skills, experience, and other attributes in the best light possible
- Rank high in job board search engines and employer applicant tracking systems
- Pass 10-second gatekeeper screens
- Be optimized for offline, in-person networking
- Serve as an effective roadmap during interviews and telephone screens
Here’s an outline of our process:
Place your order online using our secure order form. We accept Visa, MasterCard and American Express via PayPal and Google Checkout.
After your order is verified, and you have confirmed your email address, send us four or five target job descriptions and a copy of your resume in Microsoft Word format. The job descriptions you provide will help us build a well-optimized, targeted resume.
After we receive your resume, we will review it thoroughly then email you a list of questions and talking points to help you prepare for the telephone consultation. We will schedule a telephone consultation at a convenient time. Daytime and evening appointments are available, Monday through Saturday.
During the telephone consultation, we will discuss your work experience, skills, achievements, career goals and salary targets. The consultation also serves as a practice interview during which we will discuss appropriate responses to difficult questions. All required phone consultations are included in our service; there’s no charge for additional consultations or email communications.
Within three to five days of completing the telephone consultation, we will send you draft versions of your new resume and cover letter for review and approval. We will make changes as needed until you are 100% satisfied.
After we receive your final approval, we will create Adobe Acrobat (PDF), ASCII text, and Microsoft Word versions of your resume and cover letter. You will receive two versions of the ASCII text resume and cover letter; one for pasting in online job forms, the other for pasting in emails. When pasting a resume or cover letter into an email or online form, properly formatted ASCII text works better than MS Word.
Finally, we will provide you with custom job search tools and a list of resources that will help you reach your job hunting goals as quickly as possible. Click here to get started.
