Many persons 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 advices for a better resume for people who want to self educate about the basics. Before you start work on writing or updating your resume, review resume examples that fit a variety of employment situations. Then select a style and format that best highlights your strengths and achievements.

Make sure your resume is error-free. I know that sounds like a no-brainer, but you might be surprised at the number of resumes that I review for clients who have a spacing issue, a punctuation error, or even a misspelling. The problem is that you have looked at your resume so many times, your brain knows what it is supposed to say, but in reality, it says something else. Get several people to proofread your resume, and have them read it for different purposes. One person should read for grammar, for example, and another should read for punctuation and spelling. You cannot afford to send a resume that has any error at all in it. I have heard former HR directors admit that they scan resumes for errors because they are looking for ways to eliminate potential candidates. Any superficial error will eliminate your chances of getting a call for that job.

Select the best organizational format. Most resumes are written in chronological (reverse time order) format, but that does not mean that the chronological choice is best for you. If you are making a career change or have extremely broad, related skills sets, a combination format may be best. The combination is evenly balanced between skill set description, achievements, and employment history.

Our US-based writers will generally use a combination of a questionnaire, email correspondence and a phone consultation to gather your work history and achievements as well as discuss your career goals. We will use whatever method you feel comfortable with. Some clients prefer to speak by phone while others may decide to work strictly via email due to differences in time zones or work schedules. We do ask, however, if you prefer to work by phone, to please send us a copy of your current resume or fill out our questionnaire with the basics, so we can spend more time on the phone discussing your accomplishments, rather than taking down employer names, titles and dates. Your writer will want to use this document to take notes on during your call.

Will my writer specialize in my industry or profession?

We are equipped with the right knowledge, skills and tools to conduct whatever background research is necessary to ensure you have a resume that highlights your strengths while including the necessary qualifications to help you stand out for the position you are targeting.
