Why You Need a Professional Resume
Quite simply? Because yours, like you, isn’t working!
If you have snail mailed, emailed, or slipped a copy of your resume into some decision-maker’s hand for a job to which you know you are qualified, and if you have not received a word back (let alone a phone call, an in-person interview, or a job offer), it’s because your resume is not working.
Even if a potential employer already has it in the back of his/her mind the person he/she plans to hire, if you send a jaw-dropping, informative, unique, and head-spinning resume, you will get called! It’s a fact. The potential employer always wants to talk with the brains and the beauty behind the best resume that has ever come across his/her desk. Period.
Chances are you’d rather save your money for another pack of cigs, a case of something cold, and a few drive-thrus at the local fast food joint than spend it on hiring a professional writer to help you. The thing is, cigs, beverages, and fast food soon run out (sometimes before you even get back home) and you inevitably go back for more.
An awesome resume never works that way.
You get ONE phenomenal resume created for you during your professional career. ONE. Then you just keep adding to it and deleting from it as your skills and experiences improve and change.
You make that one-time investment in yourself that will profoundly change the direction of your life’s compass. You get that one amazing resume and cover letter written and designed for you that will make you stand out from all the rest of the people in your field and then everything else will naturally fall into place. Or, you keep sending out your current resume that looks and reads like the thousands of other resumes out there in the universe and you sit back and wonder how long your pocket change will last so that you can cruise through the drive-thru another night.
