Question

Why should I use a professional résumé writer rather than write my own résumé?

Answer

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” 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
