This enables us to re-position or tweak your resume in a way that showcases your value, motivation, expertise and worth to hiring managers, human resources and recruiters will call you backs for interviews. | Most resume writing services are only interested in churning out resumes quickly. Essentially, they are resume factories. They have no interest in talking to you, it takes too much time and time is money for them. It is easier for you to fill out a questionnaire on their website and send it to them. |
| Our Team of Specialists are experienced “in-the-know” Executive Recruiters who talk with thousands of hiring managers annually. We know what human resources, hiring managers and recruiters are looking for in resumes. | Most resume writers are English majors or writing professionals who think they know how to write resumes. If they are not experienced executive recruiters who have been in the trenches working to fill positions for hiring managers or human resources, then your resume has a poor (at best) chance of making a longterm impression. |
| After our initial conversation we will “custom tailor” your resume to ensure it exceeds the average 5-seconds resumes get and help you get called back for an interview. | Because most resume writers are not spending time getting to know their clients beyond a form on their website, they are left with no other device then to cut and paste their resume into a template type resume. Change a font, realign some text, fancy it up a bit and that is it. |
| We have first hand up to date knowledge of the economic conditions, market and industry trends. | Most resume writing services have no clue on market conditions or industry trends. Do you want someone who isn’t in the current know, writing your resume? |
| Your Resume will be custom tailored to fit your specific career goals, value, expertise and worth to fit a specific industry or type of role. | COOKIE CUTTER Resumes are what most companies use. Simply put, they use Templates and will only change the font or heading of your current resume. |
| Our first phone call is not our last. We usually have 2-3 more conversations with you to discuss the first draft, any revisions needed and once it is done, we follow up to make sure you are on track to secure interviews. | Most other services will not call you unless you request a conversation with them. Most use email as the primary form of communication as they don’t want to engage in verbal conversation due to time, or in their minds, a waste of time. |
