What Are The Benefits Of Having My Resume Written Professionally?

A professionally written resume will dramatically increase your response rate — and substantially shorten your job search time. Landing a job is 70% presentation and 30% actual skills and abilities. In fact, the candidate who gets the job is not always the most qualified; rather, the candidate with the best presentation is who gets hired.

Busy hiring professionals must quickly screen out hundreds (even thousands) of resumes. The few that survive the initial 10-second screening process are subjected to a more careful scrutiny before more time is invested in an interview.

    

Many people don’t want to use the services of a professional resume writer because it is too expensive.  True, resume writers normally charge between $100 to $400 for a resume, depending on a person’s level of experience, which translates into how complex the assignment will be.  Top notch resume writers even charge in the thousands, but those writers work mainly with executives who can afford it.

Whether or not to have someone write your resume for you is a personal decision.  Based on experience, however, very few people who have had their resumes professionally written have regretted their decision.  Why?  Because after they saw how big of a difference their revamped resume was compared to their original one, they realized they made the right decision.  Also, throughout the resume writting process, they gained an appreciation for the work that resume writers do.

 There are sites that will provide you with a resume template. How you say what is important is just as important as what you say. Use keywords that a hiring manager will pick up on. I like to use action words, orchestrated a landscaping route. If you are like me and have trouble spelling, even with spellcheck, have someone proofread your resume. Even if you are an english teacher, have someone proofread your work! You may know what you are trying to say, but will others? Use language that explains not obscures.
