Resume Writing

Do you need a resume writer?

Wait.  Don’t answer this question just yet. First think about this: What do many people do who are in your situation?

For most people, the resume writing process is confusing. They try following an online template, but end up with a resume that doesn’t have impact, capture their unique essence, or position them as ready for their next career move. 

People hire Susan so they can create a resume that is dynamic, powerful, and strategic.  Engaging word choices, professional and appropriate format, and use of industry terminology are a few of the key ingredients Susan puts into every one of a kind resume.

But why is a resume so important?

Your resume is your most important marketing tool for any job search. It can become the foundation from which you can build your social media platform. It brands you. It makes you visible to recruiters. It opens doors to new opportunities. This is your chance to shine and to be proud of how and when you “do your thing.” 

A widely known summary of the resume universe goes like this: “If it works, you work; if it doesn’t work, you don’t work.”

A resume is an investment in yourself – and you are a unique commodity. A resume is one of the most financially important documents in your life.

It takes time and professionalism to know how to best to package the professional you, then more time to write, edit, edit again with your input, then layout and polish the final document. Resume writing is a process leading to creating a marketing tool that is critical to your job search.
