Lots of people are competing for the same job. If you want a job you must be noticed by the recruiter, in a sea of resumes. That’s why you need professional resume writing services. Here are some advices for a better looking resume for people who want to self educate about the basics. Include all your contact information so that employers can easily get in touch with you. Give your full name, street address, city, state, zip code, phone number, and email address. If you have a LinkedIn profile or professional website, include those links as well. Under some circumstances, you might want not want to include your entire mailing address, but it is generally good practice to do so.
Make sure that your resume is in alignment with the job description of the job for which you are applying. Too often people think that their resume is a “once and done” proposition. Not so! You should customize your resume for every job each time you apply. Match up keywords from the job description with keywords in your resume. Make sure that your achievements and successes indicate that you are an excellent candidate for the job for which you are applying. You need to tweak your resume for every single job posting.
Select the best organizational format. Most resumes are written in chronological (reverse time order) format, but that does not mean that the chronological choice is best for you. If you are making a career change or have extremely broad, related skills sets, a combination format may be best. The combination is evenly balanced between skill set description, achievements, and employment history.

The average resume, from creation to finalization includes time spent consulting with the client, additional research, drafting a cover letter, and often crafting a LinkedIn profile. The research we perform for each client exceeds what most resume companies do. Our process includes a consultation and/or a detailed questionnaire that seeks to extract information regarding the client’s employment history, career goals, and accomplishments. We research each company the client has worked for, the positions held, and the positions of interest to ensure proper keyword matching.
Our writers are members of and hold certifications from the three largest and most respected organizations in the industry: National Resume Writers’ Association (NRWA), the Professional Association of Resume Writers and Career Coaches (PARW/CC), and Career Directors International (CDI). To maintain the Certified Professional Resume Writer (CPRW) Certification, writers must pass a four-part timed exam that tests knowledge of employment topics and resume writing ability. Additional certifications also require that writers maintain Continuing Education Units (CEUs) through ongoing professional training and development.
