Some individuals still believe that the cost of professional resume writing is expensive. Think about all the hours you spend dropping off resumes that YOU or Aunt Betsy created which failed to generate interviews. Think about the 6 – 9 months or longer spent trying to get a job when you could have captured numerous interviews and found that dream job and be earning more money. Isn’t that worth the investment?
We had a client who was unemployed for just over one year and thought he would use our services after having no success with the resume and cover letters he created. After sending out the resume and cover letter we developed, he immediately received interviews; within 2 weeks he accepted a position he really wanted.
If he had come to us sooner he would have earned approximately $50,000-$70,00 – and saved a lot of stress and frustration. When he first came to us his self esteem was low. This person had a lot to offer but had a hard time putting it on paper. After seeing his accomplishments on paper and recognizing his true value to prospective employers, this client's self-esteem skyrocketed.
You are investing to improve your chances of success in a competitive market. Think in terms of enhancing your future. This investment captures the level of experience, expertise, depth and results you expect and deserve. Producing a resume and a cover letter that improves your chances of opening the right doors take time. It's too important to rush and much more valuable than concert tickets, fancy CD components or golf clubs.
When we develop a resume and cover letter, we need to understand our client, their value and achievements, what makes them unique and their career goals. We then carefully produce a document designed specifically for the client; we do not cut and paste statements. It is a complete transformation, not a minor update. It will set you apart from your competition and is designed to help you gain the winning edge you need.
Producing a door-opening professional resume and an impressive cover letter for a senior manager can take between six and eight hours. My clients tend to be people who are making serious career moves.
An effective resume and cover letter can help you achieve a higher salary, reduce the time to get the job you want and help ensure you don't miss out on any opportunities.
For example, a client who had been on a salary of $60,000 jumped to an $85,000 position in his very next job because the resume we prepared placed him in that category. There are cheaper services available. Many people tell us that the cheaper services really end up costing more because they don't achieve the results. It's just not worth the risk...
