Lots of people are competing for the same job. If you want a job you must be noticed by the recruiter, in a sea of resumes. That’s why you need professional resume writing services. Here are some tricks for a better resume for people who want to self educate about the basics. Adding numbers to your resume shows employers in black-and-white fashion what you have accomplished at work. Not all of your achievements are quantifiable, but adding those that are can serve as powerful negotiation tools when the topic of salary arises.

Make your resume sleek. Some people think that the trick to a great resume is to stuff as many accomplishments as possible into it by using tiny font and stretching the margins to the limit. The result is a resume that is difficult to read and looks cluttered and clunky. Those resumes will wind up in the “no” pile because the person in charge doesn’t have a magnifying glass handy and doesn’t care enough to try to ferret out the pertinent information. Your resume should have a clean and contemporary look and feel. Use lots of white space by maximizing margins and being as concise as possible. Also, use fonts that are clean looking like Calibri or Arial.

Keep it positive. Reason for leaving a job, setbacks, failed initiatives, etc. do not have a place on a resume. Employers are seeking people who can contribute, have a positive attitude, are enthusiastic, and have successfully performed similar job skills in the past. Concentrate on communicating these issues and avoid any detracting information.

Did you know that 75% of resumes never get read by a human being? We can help you beat the bots! When you apply for a job online, your resume isn’t typically going directly to a recruiter or hiring manager. It’s first being processed by an ATS (Applicant Tracking System). Whether that human recruiter ever sees your resume could depend on how well your resume is optimized for ATS algorithms. We know how to format your resume and what keywords to include for your industry in order to help get your resume into the hands of the recruiters and hiring managers.

Occasionally we have clients inquiring whether the information-gathering process will take place virtually or in person. Resume writing is not location-dependent, and you might find that your ideal resume writer lives and works in a different city or time zone, so all interaction will take place by phone, email, or videoconferencing. Most resume writers work virtually, allowing them the opportunity to work with diverse clients all over the world. You can rest assured that you will receive the same quality service with your writer as you would if working together face-to-face.

How does your revision process work? Is there a time limit? We generally will go out to about three, sometimes four revisions. Most clients do not require revisions beyond v3. We try to wrap up and finalize all projects within a week, but we do understand that some clients have other obligations and cannot always get back to us with their revisions right away. Most projects are wrapped up in about two to three weeks at most. The most important thing is to remain in communication with us. As long as you are in regular communication with your writer, we will continue making tweaks, within a reasonable amount of time, as needed until you are satisfied. However, we cannot offer free revisions for clients who fail to respond to us after draft delivery and then decide to come back four months after receiving their documents to work on changes. If we hear nothing after a period of three weeks, we will assume you were satisfied and moved on with your job search and we will close out your file and send over finalized documents in Word, PDF and plain text formats.
