Yes! You should hire a professional Resume Writer - Part 3
I’ve been told, many times, that the four biggest life changing events are the death of a family member, buying a house, birthing a child, and changing jobs. Do you hire somebody to help? Yes. Well…most of the time…
- You hire the mortuary to help with the death of a family member
- You hire a real estate agent, movers and sometimes a home builder to get that house
- You have a doctor (or sometimes a mid-wife) to birth your child
- BUT … you find a job all by yourself, using two free resources (applying to job ads and uploading your resume to online databases)
One of the biggest events in your life and you invest no money and hire no resources to help with your job search! What’s the matter with you???
There are many premium services available for job seekers, but to keep this series in context here are many reasons to hire a professional resume writer. A resume writer will…
- Know how to take your experience and create content that is appealing to today’s hiring managers
- Use keywords, phrases and formats that will allow the automated screening technology to score your resume very high
- Build multiple formats (Word, PDF, ASCII, etc.) of your resume for different application systems
- Make your resume Internet ready so it can easily be found in the resume databases
- Use proper grammar and make sure everything is spelled correctly
- Allow you to choose from many design samples
- Use their experience from writing hundreds of resumes of professionals in similar job functions and understand what works (and doesn’t work too).
- Probably have some kind of guarantee to rewrite your resume
- Save you hours of time from making mistakes and the need to research writing tips
If you think you can still do it better than a professional than maybe you should start writing resumes as a new profession. It’s a growing segment of the career industry and a great way to help people. Otherwise, take action today. The longer you procrastinate, the less chance you have to make the right decision and a positive impact on your job search.
Happy job hunting!
