Résumé Writing

Are your career marketing documents accelerating your job search strategy, or zapping it? We live in a gigasecond world, where computers have revolutionized recruiting. All but a few companies receive hundreds if not thousands of résumés a day and that's just for advertised openings! Initial screening of résumés and cover letters is now left to computers. After passing the computer screening, your materials must capture the hiring or recruiting manager's attention in about 10 to 20 seconds, or else he or she is contacting the next candidate.

Since 1989, we have designed career branding materials and provided personalized coaching that have delivered outstanding results for our clients, from entry-level professionals to executives across all industries. As testament to our exceptional quality, personal service, and results-driven approach, many of our clients sought our advice and help early in their careers, and as they advance in their careers, continue to take advantage of our expertise and refer their friends, colleagues, and family to us.

To capture the decision maker's attention and win interviews, your personal career branding materials must be compelling and authentic to your image and voice, reflect your achievements, and target you for the position you seek. Through a well-crafted strategy that focuses on your achievements and communicates the unique value you add to an employer combined with a design that is personalized for you, we achieve these goals.

Our quotes reflect the types of documents (e.g., résumés, cover letters, portfolios, executive profiles, bios, thank-you letters, resignation letters, and so forth) you will need, not a cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all package. Not everyone needs the same types of documents.

After carefully assessing what you need, we start with a comprehensive questionnaire targeted to what you're seeking, so we can gather background information on your past and current employment, your achievements, and your skills. We also include a behavioral assessment to understand you better so we can write your documents in your voice. Then, we conduct an in-depth telephone interview of up to 1.5 hours, gathering more details about your achievements and career goals, listening for how you communicate, and assessing your strengths and weaknesses. Armed with this information, we formulate a strategy and design your personal branding materials that reflect you and sell you to best advantage. Our rates also include writing, original format design, and any revision time to finalize your documents. All documents are provided in Word and Acrobat Reader formats.
