The Assessment takes an objective look at 10 different aspects of “Best Practice” Resume format and content.
The Assessment is returned to the client and a follow-up call is scheduled to discuss the results and offer suggestions for improvements and next steps.
New Resume Creation
This is for those who don’t have a resume or haven’t had the need to update one over the last 8 to 10 years. An organized information gathering worksheet will be completed which will serve as the starting point for the initial phone discussion.
Resume Refresh and Re-Write
Many industry professionals have fairly recent existing resumes. These will typically serve as excellent starting points for creating a new, powerful and effective resume.
LinkedIn Profile Updating
LinkedIn has become a critical tool that is used by both recruiters and job seekers to find each other and fill open positions. When professionals are in an active job search, it is essential that their Linkedin profile is working hard towards helping them get found and presenting them as a strong and viable candidate.
Depending on the job seeker's objectives, we can help industry professionals strengthen their profile, expand their reach and show how to use LinkedIn to find and respond to job opportunities.
Cover Letters
About 30% of Recruiters and “Industry Experts” claim that cover letters are not necessary. That means that 70% still value them. Properly written, a cover letter can be a key tool that differentiates candidate ‘A’ from candidate ‘B.’
Job Seekers may need multiple versions of cover letters to effectively present their Resume. Typical cover letter applications are:
As an attachment to a job posting or an email to the H.R. Department in reference to a specific job posting
To a friend or ex-colleague that can represent you into the position or company
To the Hiring Manager
To a Senior Executive that can forward your resume to the Hiring Manager
To H.R. or an acquaintance within a company as an introduction for consideration for any future opportunities that may open up.
Thank You Letters
These courtesy documents are great at demonstrating the candidate’s professionalism and they play a strong role in maintaining momentum in the hiring process.
Executive Biography / Networking Summary
These are usually 1-page condensed versions of a 2 or 3-page resume and can be very effective when at formal or informal networking events, conferences or background information for participation.
Back-up and retention of all client documents
While all documents that we create for our clients are the property of the client, as a courtesy, we will maintain back-up copies of all resumes and letters.
