Preparation is the most important facet to a successful job search. There are several steps in this process; however, the first significant step is to produce an effective resume. In this highly competitive job market, you must have a resume that is not only impressive but engages the potential employer within a 3 second glance. Don't get lost in the shuffle!

Should you write your own resume?

The readily available resume templates and the do-it-yourself resume kits are no guarantee that the end result will be an outstanding resume. Presenting your objectives, background and accomplishments on a page or two is more involved than you may have anticipated. In a market that has the employers immersed in an endless stack of resumes, it is vital that yours genuinely reflects you: the qualified candidate. A candidate worthy of an interview.

Why should you have a career placement professional write your resume?

I have worked closely with executives, managers and hiring authorities for over 17 years. I have become very aware of the magnitude of that moment of truth when your resume is in front of the decision-maker. I know what they want to see, what results to emphasize, and ultimately, how to generate interest.

There are thousands of active qualified individuals seeking jobs in our local candidate pool. Employers are flooded with their resumes. It is critical that your resume get noticed and is placed in the appropriate file. The one marked "Candidates to Call!"

For a small fee, but large investment, you will be assured that your resume is tailored in a style that best reflects your skills, strengths and achievements. The process is simple. We discuss your work history, career objectives, talents, and what is important to you in this job search. After gathering the necessary information, we move forward with a sense of urgency.
