Professional Resumes

The Advantages of Professional Resumes

Professional resumes created by professional resume writers can really give you an advantage over other candidates. These professionals know exactly what resume formats the hiring people want to see and will help you create a resume that gets the attention of any recruiter as well. Professional resume writers can create a resume that emphasize your strengths and downplay your weaknesses. Many of them are certified as professional resume writers, and they know both the appropriate keywords and action verbs (see Job-Specific Resumes) that employers in specific industries are looking for. Based on your particular experience, these professionals will pick a resume format — chronological, functional or a combination— that displays your accomplishments in the best light possible. The extra confidence that a carefully crafted and professionally written resume can give you in your job search is well worth the money -- generally $150 to $300. For those of you who want to write a resume on your own, start with Resume Writing.

Selecting a Professional Resume Company

A resume is a tool that a job candidate uses to get the prospective employer’s attention.. The amount of time that you have to make a positive impression is very small – usually about 30 seconds – so you need to maximize that very short time available to you. In short, you need to know what you are doing when you write a resume. If you don’t, use a professional.

OK. You agree that you need some help. But how do you choose from the many individuals and companies that write professional resumes? We will give you some recommendations of companies who do an especially good job. And, if you don’t want to take our word for it, we will give you some criteria to use to evaluate these professional resume writers before you hire them.

First, the criteria:

  • Will they give you sample resumes to look at?
  • Do they have samples in your specific area?
  • Do their resumes appear professional in content, appearance and attention to details such as punctuation?
  • Do the resumes seem tailored to a particular job or do they seem “canned”?
  • Do they follow the suggestions about resumes, resume formats, and resume tips on this web site?
  • How do they charge?
  • How many edits and re-edits are included in the price?
  • What does the price include besides the basic resume?
  • Do you get a cover letter?
  • Will they provide an electronic resume in a variety of ASCII formats?
  • Do they guarantee your satisfaction?
  • Will they interview you before writing or just write the resume based on information that you mail or email them?
  • Do you have one easily accessible point of contact?
  • What testimonials do they provide?
  • Can you speak directly with any of their past clients?
  • What do the FAQs tell you about the company?
  • What is their turn-around time?
  • Do they have a resume posting and distribution service?
  • Will they provide a critique of a resume that you wrote instead of writing it themselves?

Job Interview Fun

Just in case you thought you did poorly in a job interview, read these anecdotes from executives who actually encountered these situations during an interview:


"... brought her large dog to the interview."

"When I asked him about his hobbies, he stood up and started tap dancing around my office."

"... asked if I wanted some cocaine before starting the interview."

"She asked me if I had any children. When I said, Yes,  she stated that there was no way I could do a good job of being both a boss and a mother."
