Research indicates that your resume has less than 20 seconds to tell the reader what has happened in your career, what actions you took to make those things happen, and the personal skills and abilities that have allowed you to succeed in the job. Your resume needs to be a succinct yet powerful account of your career, allowing you to quickly differentiate yourself from your well-qualified competition. If you don’t think your resume can do that, you probably need some assistance. Our resume writing services focus on three critical elements: strategy, content, and design.

Resume Strategy

We begin each resume project with a defined end goal.  Before we write a single word, we will have an in-depth consultation to discuss your specific career goals and how we can effectively align your experiences and skill sets to help you get there. We’ll pump the brakes on any project in which the client says “I’m still not sure what I really want to do” because unless the resume has a concrete strategy, there’s not a lot that we can do to help. If you’re submitting a loosely targeted resume, you might as well not send it at all.

Resume Content

Creating great content for a resume is somewhat of an art form. Your resume needs to be powerful, but cliché-free. It should be keyword rich, but easy to read. It should tell a good story, but be brief.  Ultimately, you want the reader to be able to quickly browse through the resume and have a clear understanding of who you are, what you accomplished in each position, and why you would be an indispensible asset to their organization.

Resume Design

Looks matter when it comes to resumes. Not only does it need to be aesthetically pleasing, it needs to be structured in a way that draws attention to the most important bits of information.  Hiring managers and recruiters can see resumes written on a Microsoft Word template from a mile away, and that’s not a good thing. Take a look at some of our samples to see how we use different design elements to make our client’s resumes stand out.
