Overall, you will have up to a week to continue working with your designated resume writer to finalize the document.

What you get? A professional edit/correction of your existing resume.

Here are just a few factors our professional resume writers use to review and edit your resume:

Appearance/Style

Since resume is your way of presenting yourself, appearance and consistency are critical. Your resume must be professional in every aspect: font choice, styling, colors, margins, template use, table use, etc.

Completeness/Length

A resume should give a complete picture of why you should be called for an interview. Ways of describing your career path are too numerous, and may lead to resumes that are too short or too long. Depending on the point at which you are in your career, a specific level of detail is required.

Content

Resumes may include certain information, such as contact information, experience, education, professional profile, honors and awards, professional interests and memberships, qualifications, summary, photographs, references, publications, etc. Any given resume should have specific content, as it applies to the specific job search needs.

Focus

Perhaps the most critical element of any resume is its focus. Your resume must have a specific theme -- related to the position (and employer) you are seeking.

Approach

There are three types of resume formats: standard chronological, functional, and combined chrono-functional. Picking the format that best presents your employment history for the specific job is crucial.

Perspective

A hiring manager will spend just a few seconds to review your resume. Your resume must be attention-getting, good-looking, and sharply focused. It should provide the employer enough reasons to invite you for an interview.

Professionalism/Integrity

There's simply no excuse for resumes that have misspellings, typos or inconsistencies. Places of employment, job titles, certifications, or educational achievements are just a few items to consider.

Use of keywords

Certain keywords make your experience jump from the page. These keywords and keyword phrases are even more important in the information age, as more and more resumes are placed into large databases, which employers use to search for candidates.

Versions

Job-hunting today really requires more than one version of your resume. You may want to develop one or more electronic versions of your resume with various formats and, sometimes, content, depending on use.
