 In today’s job economy, for every job posting listed,  an average of

 200 to 1000 resumes are submitted and only 1 out of 200 will be given the

 opportunity to interview?  You need to be able to use every available

 resource to leverage your chances of being that 1 out of 200. 

 The average resume is viewed for approximately only 15-20 seconds and

 sometimes even less if scanned by a computer. It certainly doesn’t seem to

 be a lot of time, but it is enough time to conclude if you will get  an interview

 or not.  Most of the applications submitted on line automatically get entered

 into a computer where it is programmed to scan and score specific key

 buzz words and action verbs, called an Applicant Tracking System (ATS).

 The higher the score the more likely that your resume will be moved to the

 pile to be viewed by someone in human resources or a recruiter.  While it is

 extremely important to include these key buzz words or self descriptive action

 verbs it is just as important that they are in the proper context with follow

 through or the chance of you getting an interview is almost nonexistent.

What a Professional Resume Writer Can Do For You

The answer is simple—they author documents that market you to
potential employers. Professional resume writers are not just
typesetters—their real skill and expertise is defining, positioning,
and promoting your job skills and ultimately your career.

Here are just a few ways a resume writer can help:

• Inside Perspective: A good resume writer knows what today’s recruiters and hiring managers want—and don't want—to see in a resume.
• Resume Strategy: A meticulous resume writer will make sure your career objective and unique value proposition are explicitly stated and seek to shape your work experience such that it is written and formatted to underscore these criteria.
• Data Generation: An experienced resume writer can help you prepare for the interview process while building resume content by asking insightful questions to uncover and reframe your accomplishments and job duties.
• Compelling Content: An astute writer is aware of industry-specific keywords that are searched by scanning software as well as HR screeners.
• Language Expertise: A skilled writer has in-depth knowledge of grammar, structure, and style so you don’t have to worry about typos, misspellings, and grammatical errors.

Choosing an Effective Professional Resume Writer

There are hundreds of resume writers who are qualified to write your resume. It’s important to take the time to find one that matches your personality, needs, industry, and career objectives.

1. Contact the writer via telephone and get a feel for his/her knowledge and expertise. Some writers will focus solely on resumes. Others may provide additional services such as job coaching, career counseling, outplacement, college advising, or resume distribution.
2. Ask about his/her background and training, and how he/she stays abreast of changes in the employment industry.
3. Have the writer explain his/her resume development process. You may be asked to fill out questionnaires, talk on the phone for an hour or more, and/or do some revising yourself.
4. Choose a professional who belongs to a valid industry organization. The NRWA, established in 1997, is the premier organization for education in the field of resume writing.
5. Consider selecting a professional resume writer who holds certification in his/her industry. These writers have passed multi-faceted exams in resume mechanics, strategy, and formatting to obtain such credentials.
