Answer
Why should I use a professional résumé writer rather than write my own résumé?
You have made a significant investment in time and effort to attain your current level of career expertise and experience. You have a product to sell – yourself. Your challenge is to develop a powerful communications tool that highlights the benefit and value of that product, remembering that your résumé may be one of hundreds being screened for just one position. A professional résumé writer will SELL – not tell – your value
- Communicating clearly just who you, the product, are
- Positioning you in line with how you want to be perceived (example, "techie"Â or information technology manager)
- Emphasizing benefits to convey to employers the value in hiring you rather than the numerous other candidates applying for that position
- Adding credibility with specific, measurable results and facts that support your claims
Could I benefit from a career coach?
One of the most valuable resources for people seeking help with designing and managing their careers is career coaching. Career coaching is a "hands-on"Â approach that meets the needs of people facing today's complex, fast-paced workplace and job market. Career coaching is personally provided to meet each client's needs, with in-person or telephone sessions. A career coach will empower you to make career decisions that are aligned with your strengths, values and definition of success:
- Offering you encouragement to be honest with yourself and others as you find out who you really are and what career path is right for you
- Assisting you in exploring and asserting your values, so you spend your time and energy on designing and developing a career that is important to you
- Asking questions to guide you in understanding what you need to hear, rather than what you want to hear
- Helping you see your situation as an outside observer, without getting overwhelmed by what overwhelms you
- Empowering you with the tools and information to move forward towards your goals.

What is the standard turnaround time for résumés and cover letters?
In his First Inaugural Address, Abraham Lincoln urged his fellow citizens to not be hasty when dealing with important issues (the threat of Civil War). His words to them, "Nothing valuable can be lost by taking time," ring true today. Writing effective career design and management materials (that heavily influence your future) takes time. At Hire Imaging we go the extra mile to make sure your materials are informative, well written and effectively formatted, to help you get the jobs you want and deserve. Résumés, letters and other career documents are completed within 5 to 7 business days. If you need your materials sooner, we offer express service at an additional cost.
