Calling to let you know I am now the new CEO
of a $800 million investment corporation. Your résumé opened doors
that were closed to me before.
—Peter R., New Jersey
For your records I have had at least two major corporations'
top management tell me that my résumé is the best-written résumé
they have ever seen.
Pretty good endorsement of your work and I currently
have two job offers pending.
—Scott L. Pennsylvania
Just
wanted to let you know I found a position here in Cincinnati, OH.
I am very excited about the opportunity as it is exactly
what I wanted down to the last detail. As I shared with you
before, your résumé support was AWESOME! I sent the letter
to upladders.com as well as reiterating in my closeout letter to
them regarding how exceptional your service is and how pivotal your
résumé writing work has been to my success. Thank you again and
again . . . much love sent your way and take
care.

The Importance of Keeping Your Resume
Updated
Whether or not you're on the hunt for a new job,
keeping your resume up-to-date is important. There's nothing worse
than scrambling to come up with an accurate and interesting resume
when you have two days to make the submission deadline for a job
opening.
It's Essential to Be Prepared
Since you never know when you might need to submit
it, you should regularly update your resume with relevant accomplishments,
new job duties, recently achieved certifications, and other similar
achievements instead of trying to remember critical information
days, months, or even years after the fact. This is especially true
of smaller but equally important achievements that may fade in memory
as time passes.
Even if you don't edit your resume regularly, you
should keep good records of your benchmarks and accomplishments
to use when you finally sit down at the computer. This may be as
simple as keeping a log, or storing emails from superiors that praise
you for a 'job well done' or which detail your role in a new project.
However you want to keep your information organized is up to you,
but here's what you should keep track of:
Your Accomplishments
These set you apart, demonstrate your prowess and
skill — and are one of the single most difficult things for
an individual to write. Why? Many people feel that an accomplishment
has to be monumental in order to matter, but the reality is that
many of the things you do on a regular basis can be seen as accomplishments,
particularly if you phrase them the right way.
Quantifiable examples are best when it comes to proving what you've
done through the use of dollar amounts, numbers, quotas, percentages,
etc. Perhaps you made a lot of money for a former employer —
or maybe saved someone a lot of money. Doing three jobs for the
price of one? You're so efficient at what you do that you're saving
your employer the cost of two other employees…with benefits!
That's what belongs in an interview-winning resume.
Examples of accomplishments might include increasing
a company's bottom line, promotions, special projects, decreasing
costs, or company- or industry-sponsored awards. What you list should
be items that stand apart from your day-to-day duties; tangible,
quantifiable items that really put your accomplishments into perspective.
Take a look at these examples:
* Achieved a $2,500 monthly savings for XYZ Company
within three months of hire by streamlining procedures.
* Reduced lag time between sales and implementation by 34 percent,
through processes that enabled rapid deployment of software solutions
without increasing costs.
* Boosted outlet sales 63 percent by creating new menu items
Other, less quantifiable accomplishments may also
be included, such as major accounts you landed, customer service
satisfaction ratings, mergers and acquisitions, positive publicity,
promotions…and anything else you can think of that's appropriate
to
list under accomplishments.
Licenses, Degrees, Awards, and Certificates
List only those which are most relevant to your
career field. Include titles, dates, locations, and the sponsors
of any training you completed to receive certificates or licensure.
Remember, stay on point. A hiring manager only wants to see what's
relevant to the position you're applying for.
Conferences and Additional Education
Sticking with the idea of what's relevant, conferences
can be an important boost to your selling power, particularly if
they helped you earn continuing education credits or are substantial
enough to have given you an unique skill, such as specialization
in a certain area of knowledge…or less obviously, the unspoken
power that comes with having made high-end powerful contacts through
a variety of conferences. (There's something to be said about who
you know.) Don't forget to make note of any in-services or trainings
you may have conducted with others as a result of attending conferences,
as these are notable accomplishments that highlight certain skill
sets, such as leadership and public speaking abilities.
Super Skills
Technical skills should be included in your list,
unless you're an Executive with administrative staff. Tech skills
can include knowing how to put together an effective spreadsheet
in Excel or being a whiz in the use of proprietary software that
you used at a specific job. Other, non-computer-related skills,
such as operating a cash register, or using equipment such as fax
and copy machines can make a difference in getting a job, particularly
if you're just entering the job market.
If you're having difficulty coming up with accomplishments
or even in trying to list your hard skills, you may want to consider
using a resume design service. Most people have a hard time marketing
themselves and someone who writes resumes professionally can help
you identify your strengths and accomplishments. You may find that
you've accomplished far more than you give yourself credit for!

As an expert résumé writer and one of the leading résumé
writing professionals in the United States, I write résumés for individuals
in all professions. I am a résumé writer for all industries and am well
known for résumé writing for job seekers at all levels, from beginning
résumés to résumés for executives. I am also a writer for cover
letters and a writer of thank-you letters.
How
to Select a Professional Writer
1. Use a certified résumé
writer. There are several certifications. The most prestigious
is the NCRW. Only 27 résumé professionals have earned this
certification nationwide. Certification is one of your assurances that
the writer you select is dedicated to providing the highest quality
service and will deliver a superior product.
2. Speak with the person
who will actually be writing your résumé. The person
who sells you their services may not actually write your résumé.
You want to work closely with the actual writer, not a subcontractor whose
qualifications are unknown to you or whose style doesn't fit your personality.
3. Make sure you understand
from the writer what they will be doing to revise your existing
résumé or the strategy they will use in developing one from
scratch. Remember it's your career. The writer needs to understand your
background and be able to provide the right strategy to meet your goals.
4. What is the process used to
gather information? Is the writer going to interview you or just give
you a form to fill out? If the writer insists on using a form, you may only
get back what you provided in different words. Make sure the writer will interview
you to search for additional information and ways to present your background
to your best advantage. Remember, accomplishments sell. A good résumé
writer knows how to pull them out of you.
5. Editing Will you
have a chance to make changes and provide input after the résumé writer
presents the first draft? This is very important . . . the writer should be open
to your thoughts. Changes are almost always required, even minor ones. Insist on this!
6. What other services,
tools, and certifications should the professional writer offer?
Professional career service providers are often certified in career coaching
and job transition. They are also able to provide cover letters, résumé
distribution to recruiters and companies, career portfolios, and interview
training.
7. What is the turnaround
time? Typical turnaround time will vary from writer to writer,
but expect a successful résumé writer to be in demand.
One to two weeks is normal.
8. Do I have to meet
with the writer personally? No, it has become an everyday occurrence
to work with résumé professionals by phone, transferring
documents by Internet and fax, but it is good to know that the résumé
firm has a traditional office, even if you don't visit it.
9. How much will it cost? Superior résumés
take expertise and time to develop. Fees will vary depending on your years
of experience, the number of jobs you've held, and your position level.
Executives can expect to pay more than mid-tier managers or entry-level
professionals.
