Why Hire a Resume Writer?

• You feel your resume could be improved but you don't know how.
• You are sending your resume out and getting no response.
• You wrote your resume by copying all your old job descriptions.
• You state your skills without demonstrating how you used those skills to achieve results.
• You don't know how to translate your assigned responsibilities into much more exciting (and relevant!) results.
• You include sections like "objective" statements, personal interests and hobbies, and "references available upon request", not realizing that these inclusions are outdated and no longer relevant in today's job searches.
• You think you have to have multiple versions of your resume to apply to different jobs.
• You believe a resume should never be longer than one page, because someone told you that once.
• You don't know how to address gaps in employment, returning to the workforce, "job hopping" and diverse job history.
• You don't know the right words, writing style and action verbs to include in your resume.
• You don't know why the top third of the first page is the most important part of the resume, and how to construct it to meet your objective.
• You want to change careers or job direction and don't know how to write the resume to accomplish that.
• You don't know how to write your resume to target the hiring manager, or to frame the job you really want.
• Your resume is dull, with unimaginative verbiage and a bland format.
• You include statements like "excellent communication skills", "goal-driven", "multitasker" and "detail-oriented", which are all overused buzzwords (and are therefore meaningless).
• You are uncomfortable outlining your accomplishments because you feel it is bragging and presents you in a negative light.
• You only write or "update" your resume when you absolutely have to.
• You think your resume is an "information" document, not a "selling" document.
• You think you can only send your resume in response to open/posted jobs, and only give it to people who ask for it.
• You don't think a cover letter is important.

Bottom line ... if your resume does not convey your unique value and skill-base in an outstanding way, and if it does not look original, personalized and customized ... why should (or would) an employer hire YOU over everyone else applying for the same job?
