I have seen a lot of resumes in my myriad years as an HR professional and Recruiter and I can attest that the majority of us are simply not objective enough to present ourselves in the best light possible. I maintain that society so frowns upon “self promotion” that most of us have not developed this as a skill, which is a bit of an issue when one attempts to market one’s self in a resume.

As a professional resume writer, I have the opportunity to help people see themselves in a fresh perspective. It is extremely rewarding to open a client’s eyes to his or her own abilities and skills - it’s why I love what I do.

Thanks again,

I offer free resume critiques and I see the same issues consistently:

* Relevant contributions and critical duties buried within the text
* Weak (or no) introduction.
* Too much focus on the applicant’s needs and not the needs of the position.
* mistakenly trying to cover any and all experience and not focusing enough on the skills needed for the goal.

There are many others, but I would say these are the most crucial. If you remember to focus on what the reader wants to know, then at least you’re half-way there.

But (as one would expect me to say) nothing beats the professional touch!
