In today’s society where job hunting has become tougher and tougher
and being unemployed is so costly, there are many reasons why job
candidates are increasingly turning to resume writing services to give
them a greater opportunity to find success.
With the growth of the Internet and access to experts in all
professions, reaching out for expert assistance is easier than ever
before. Rather than trying to be their own experts, people are now more
inclined to reach out to real experts to ensure that the job is done
right the first time.
When
your hot water tank stops working you call a professional plumber, even
though you can probably fix it yourself. You can go online and research
how to fix a hot water tank, and you can even pay a few dollars to get a
step by step guideline to help fix the tank (I did this and the tank
ended up costing twice as much to fix). However, as most people do not
have the qualified skills to fix a hot water tank they call in a
professional to do the job for them.
The same is true of a professional resume writer or CV writer. Just
like a plumber is trained and qualified to fix your hot water tank, a
resume writer has the experience and skills to write a resume that will
enhance your job application.
What will a resume writer do for me?
The hardest aspect of resume writing is knowing what actually belongs
in the resumes and what type of information will make them stand out.
In my past experience as a job recruiter, at least 50% of the candidates
for each job shared the same type of education and skills. So the
question is – what can a candidate do to highlight their resume?
This is what a good resume writer can do. They have the ability to
understand what needs to go into the resume and how to best present the
information. No matter how good your education, skills or experience, if
you are unable to present this information to a hiring manager, you
will have very little chance of getting the job.
What is the difference between a good resume and a bad resume?
The difference is HUGE. It is no longer good enough to sit down for
20 minutes, type your name at the top of the resume, write down your
work history (including a few bullet points about your duties or
responsibilities) and expect to be called for interviews. It just does
not work that way anymore. Not only does your resume need to be 100%
completely targeted toward the job you are applying for, but it also
needs to be written for that particular job market.
An accounting resume is different to a mining resume and they both
need to be written accordingly. Most importantly, highlighting
achievements is the number one rule of resume writing. An average resume
will focus too much on the day to day duties and responsibilities.
These duties are expected of the job candidate and while they are
important (and do need to be in the resume), turning these duties into
achievements is how to make your resume stand out. This is what an
expert resume writer can do for you!
