Great Resumes Fast » Resume Writing Tips » Make Your Resume Your Own

Make your resume your own. In other words don’t use some sample you found from the internet. You would be hard pressed to find another person out there with the exact same education, skills, experience, and expertise that you have. So why use a sample resume from someone else to convey that?

Obviously the job market is very tough right now, and with more layoffs being announced every week and fewer and fewer jobs being available it makes sense to kick up your resume a notch. You need a competitive advantage now more then ever. This may be one of those times when you need to call in a professional. Here is why a professional resume writer can give you an advantage:

1. They are experts of their craft. Resume writing is not like any other form of writing out there. So unless you’ve been taught, certified, or worked in an industry where you review them every day you’re probably not an ‘expert’.

2. Professional resume writers can take an objective look at your resume, tell you where your weaknesses are and play up to your strenghts. They know how to make you look good.

3. They can help you speak to your target audience. Professional resume writers can make your resume speak to your target audience; HR Managers, Hiring Managers, Recruiters, and Key Decision Makers. It is a lot like sales and marketing but instead of marketing a product to a consumer they’re marketing a person to a company; you!

4. They can create powerful, customized, and captivating documents. Your resume needs to WOW the employer, be completely relevant to the job you are applying to, and make the reader really want to call you for an interview. A professional resume writer can create a dynamic resume for you that will do just that.

If you are copying samples from various internet websites you are doing yourself more harm than good. What you really need is a dynamic resume that conveys a singular message “I’m a perfect fit”. Let a professional resume writer help you create your ‘perfect fit’ resume today.
