What Does Your Resume Cost?
So you were thinking you might write your own resume?
That's okay, if the following applies to you:
* You are an excellent writer.
* You are adept in grammar and spelling rules.
* You have a solid understanding of the telegraphic writing
style (which eliminates the use of personal pronouns, such as
"I" and "me" and articles such as "the" and "a").
* You are an expert MS Word user.
* You keep up to date on industry trends. * You are
knowledgeable of resume layout and design.
* You know what information is relevant on a resume.
* You know what information is NOT relevant on a resume.
* You can devote several days to the resume writing process
(research, preparation, writing, and editing).
Many people find they do not have the time or resources to write
a professional resume that will get them results. You might also
realize along the way (like many do) that hiring a professional
resume writer will actually SAVE you money!
How you ask?
Imagine you have recently become unemployed and your previous
salary was $34,000 annually and you are looking to remain at the
same salary. Every week of unemployment equates to losing
$653.85 in potential wages.
The average out-of-work American is unemployed for 18 weeks. So
using the assumed $34,000 annual salary, you
could lose
$11,769.30 in potential wages.
On the other hand, people that have utilized my professional
resume writing services have reported getting hired on average
within 5 weeks.
That's a savings of over $8,500!!
Here's an analogy for you.
I can change the tires or the oil on my car. However, I would
need to devote a lot of time and effort into learning how to
replace my transmission. A mechanic on the other hand could have
it done in a day or two because they have the tools, knowledge
and resources necessary to get it done properly.
Since I am not a mechanic, not only will it take me well over a
week, but I may not even do it correctly (and consequently cost
myself even more time and money).
So the next time you think it's too expensive to have a resume
professionally written, you need to ask yourself, "What does
your resume cost".
