LinkedIn is one of our favourite ways to look for work and can make your job search easier. It used to be that you went door to door and looked for a job and this is no longer the case. In the past, you could pick up the phone and call an employer but with the days of texting, email and voicemail that is a much more significant challenge. We call LinkedIn business cards on steroids. With 400 million registered users, LinkedIn allows you to leverage the power of your network – the people you know, and the people those people know – to help you connect to the person (or people) who are in a position to offer you a job. You need a powerful LinkedIn branding page because employers and recruiters regularly source people through LinkedIn and vet job candidates or evaluate a job seeker’s value. You want to ensure your profile stands out and on-brand.
A CV (curriculum vitae) is primarily used to apply for academic, education, research, or scientific roles and often lists publications that you have written. A bio is usually required by individuals who are consultants and is commonly used in proposals, as information provided during an introduction when public speaking or for entrepreneurs seeking financing. A résumé is a concise and targeted marketing tool used to secure industry employment.
A well-written résumé and cover letter are only one part of your job search but an essential part of the journey. The average recruiter spends 7 seconds reviewing the résumé and deciding if they are going to move you forward to the interview. Your résumé needs to stand out. A professional resume tailored to fit the specific job you are looking for and presents you in the best possible light. You will find work faster with a focused well-written résumé. Employers are overwhelmed with job applications; you need to make yours stand out.
Pretty simple: the answer is no! It is a small world, and you can get caught.
ATS stands for Automated Tracking System, which is an electronic application system that many employers, both large and small, use to accept and screen job candidates. If you apply for a job online, there is a good chance that your resume will be going through ATS. Resumes submitted through these systems are stripped down and scanned for keywords that match available job openings.
I provide you with career documents that will increase your chances of success; however, similarly to all other honest resume writing services, we cannot guarantee that you will secure a job offer. Achieving an offer relies on numerous variables, including the current economic climate, the relevance of your experience and the individual hiring manager’s preferences, to name only a few.
Our clients receive customized, strategic career documents; we do not use templates or type up generic resumes. With a focus on quality, this can occasionally mean that we will be unable to provide immediate assistance. During our initial conversation, the anticipated turnaround time for your document(s) will be discussed. If there is an urgency for your resume certainly let us know; accelerated service is available at an additional cost – subject to availability.
I'm committed to helping you succeed.
