"Why do I need a résumé?"
In today’s competitive job market, you need an edge over your competition.
A well written, professionally printed résumé is the first
step in securing that all-important interview. Unfortunately, many qualified
candidates are often overlooked because their résumés are
poorly written.
"I always type my own."
With rising costs and problems obtaining good customer service, many
people are "doing it themselves." With things like minor household
repairs or auto tune-ups, it sometimes makes sense to do it yourself
to get the job done as cheaply as possible. But as with major home
and car repairs, there comes a time when a professional is needed.
Résumés typed on a typewriter often contain misspellings
or grammatical errors and lack the look and feel of a quality, typeset
résumé. They may also be lacking the powerful wording
and style necessary to capture an employer’s attention. This type of
résumé will probably not stand much of a chance against
the competition.
Most human resources managers and recruiters receive thousands of
résumés. They might spend a minute or less scanning
each one, putting only a few selected résumés aside
for more consideration. A professionally prepared résumé
gives you an immediate competitive edge.

After learning more about the types of positions in which you are
interested, we’ll read your current résumé or draft.
Then either we’ll let you know that your résumé is
just fine the way it is and we can proceed with the typesetting
and printing, or we will make recommendations for improving your
résumé. We will give you concrete suggestions based
on proven techniques, along with an accurate price estimate based
on the amount of time the writing will take.
"How much does writing assistance cost?"
Writing assistance and consultation charges are based on the amount
of time your particular résumé requires. Our hourly
rate for additional consultation, writing, and editing is competitive,
and our quality is second to none. Remember, the initial consultation
is free.
"I don’t need a résumé now—I already have a job."
The best time to work on your résumé
is
while you are still employed.

Everyone in the work force needs a résumé. Whether
you’re currently employed or not, there are several reasons why
you should consider preparing a résumé now:
- You never know when the next promising career opportunity
will come along. You’ll need an up-to-date résumé
to explore these possibilities.
- Many companies now require employees to submit a résumé
to be considered for promotions and transfers.
- With corporate restructuring and uncertain economic times, it’s
always a good idea to have an up-to-date résumé. Don’t
wait until you find yourself unemployed to get your résumé
together.
