When it's time to get unstuck
Chances are good you have a resumé. Chances are also good that your current resumé:
-
Is out of date
-
Doesn’t reflect your current goals
-
Isn’t tailored or relevant for the roles you are seeking now
-
Includes unnecessary or irrelevant content
-
Is too long (or too short)
-
Isn’t structured for applicant tracking systems (ATS)
On average companies receive over 200 candidates for every job posting. If your resumé has one or more of the above issues, you are risking your future job prospects and limiting the potential to make it past initial screening (which is more often done by software now, not humans).
When is a resumé update and rewrite needed?
1.
Career Advancement
You're ready for a promotion but need a resumé that reflects your readiness for increased responsibility and leadership.
2.
Industry or role change
You're looking to switch industries or roles and need to translate your skills and experiences to appeal to employers.
4.
After a break
Whether due to personal reasons, further education or a sabbatical, reentering the job market can be challenging without a current resumé.
3.
Competitive job market
With more candidates vying for fewer positions, standing out with a top notch resumé is essential.
5.
Out of date
If you haven't updated it in a few years, it's time to get a resumé that presents both your previous accomplishments and current responsibilities.
Investing in a resumé service pays off
Professionally written resumés are more likely to lead to an interview. Here is why.
Carefully curated content
Avoids information overload that can easily overwhelm and frustrate potential employers who have to sift through multiple candidates
Optimized for target positions and for ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems)
Even highly qualified candidates can get missed if the resumé isn’t optimized for ATS. We ensure the right keywords are added and the resumé is formatted correctly to pass through these systems.
Descriptions and content that matters
Resumés written with a focus on achievements and the impact of your work.
Formats that reflect today’s expectations
Outdated and over-formatted resumés look unprofessional, less tech-savvy and out-of-touch. A clean layout is crucial.
Alignment to socials and online presence
It is critical that your resumé and online presence (e.g. LinkedIn) are in alignment and that both compliment and support your personal brand and objectives.
