Yes! You should hire a professional Resume Writer - Part 1

It’s time to give yourself an honest answer to the question, ”Why spend money to hire a professional resume writer to create my resume when I can do it myself?”

Don’t answer that question yet.  Read on…

Resume Spider has a large community of companies that have joined our network to be part of our resume distribution service. A recent poll, which we ran for two months, asked “What are the top three reasons a job seeker doesn’t get an interview or is screened out of the process?”  The responses were…

  1. Misspellings and bad grammar in the resume.
  2. The resume has little or no career progression.
  3. They wrote their position description in their resume rather than accomplishments.

No mention of lacking certain skills or wrong background. The top three were about the resume - the first impression. How could this happen with spell checkers and lots of free information on how to write a resume? Obviously there is TOO MUCH information on the Internet, it is difficult to organize and few people have the expertise to use it. 

The Internet can be a great tool for finding employment, IF you use other tools that help you along the way. 

This 3 part series will cover the methods used by Employers and Recruiting Firms for screening resumes, and why you (the job seeker) should re-think your approach in creating your own resume.
