FAQs
✅ Do you offer discovery calls or phone consultations?
I do not offer discovery calls or phone consultations for various reasons. Resume writing differs significantly from career coaching, which often requires either phone consultations, in-person meetings, or both, and it's a service I used to offer until the pandemic hit. Since then, considering the high demand for resume writing services amidst the massive layoffs, I've changed my business model and now only offer resume writing services.
Since I take my clients careers' very seriously, my primary objective is to guarantee the utmost quality in the deliverables I provide. For this reason, I believe that maintaining the integrity of the information shared is crucial, and notes from conversations taken over the phone can lead to the loss of important details, impacting the final results.
Last, but not least, since resume writing is extremely labor-intensive, providing phone consultations would substantially increase the prices associated with my services, which might pose a challenge for numerous professionals seeking my help. To overcome this potential challenge, I've spent years refining and fine-tuning an interactive and highly effective process that allows me to gather necessary information from my clients and assist professionals from various industries with exceptional results.
✅ Will my resume be ATS-Compliant?
I'm not sure why "ATS-Compliant" became a buzzword, probably because it sounds fancy, but truth be told, there's no formal rule book for compliance, so the concept of an "ATS-Compliant" resume is completely misleading. Instead, what you need to keep in mind and focus on when applying for jobs is adhering to "ATS best practices," and here's where my expertise comes in. I specialize in writing ATS-Compatible, keyword-rich resumes for optimal searchability by applicant tracking systems. Resumes must have a specific format and present information in a way that allows applicant tracking systems (ATS) to extract relevant data for candidate ranking during the parsing process. In most cases, only those resumes ranked as strong matches will be reviewed by recruiters. For this reason, having an ATS-compatible resume is a deal breaker. It will make the difference between getting your resume reviewed by a human being (and hopefully getting invited for an interview) or not hearing back from companies.
As a side note, as a courtesy, I provide complimentary resume assessments without financial commitment since job seekers shouldn't need to pay to know where they stand.
✅ Do I need to hire a resume writer to find a job?
No, you don't have to; I'm not a salesperson, so I won't try to convince you that you need a resume writer or will never find a job because that's not even true. Now, I'm here to help you, and in full transparency, if you're serious about your career and you're not hearing back from companies, it'd be wise to stop gambling and wasting your time and hire a professional. You'll have a high ROI, and you'll also be ahead of your competition. Usually, those who invest in their careers and hire a resume writer experience higher response rates from employers, more interviews, and improved confidence levels with a resume that truly captures their value and make them proud of themselves.
✅ Can you guarantee results?
Since integrity and honesty are two core values of mine, my answer is no; in fact, I'd run away from promises like that. Hiring processes are complex. As resume writers, we have no control over the many factors involved in said hiring processes, and it wouldn't be fair to my clients to make such promises. What I can guarantee, though, is that I'll write a stellar resume and will provide you with unique, high-value tools that other resume writers don't offer and are crucial to helping you achieve your goals.
✅ If I hire you to write/revamp my resume, can you create a resume that will help me advance in my career?
Absolutely, this is not only my ultimate goal; it's also my "superpower."
You'll get a compelling resume that truly captures your value, and will portray you as the top player you are. Your resume will be ATS-compatible, keyword-optimized, and will exude confidence and expertise in every word. Learn more about my resume services and how I can help you.
✅ I feel embarrassed. My resume is outdated, I haven't looked for jobs in years, can you still help me?.
No need to feel embarrassed, I deal with this all the time. We'll work with what you have, and we'll take it from there. You'll get a powerhouse resume that will be fully optimized for ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems), and will position you as the rock star every company wants to hire.
✅ What are the basic things I should consider when hiring a resume writer?
There isn't a strict guideline; ultimately, you'll have to go with your gut feeling. However, there are several indicators that can help, including referrals, reviews, a credible website, and robust online presence across platforms like LinkedIn, Google, Bing, and X, among others. Additionally, awards and accreditations from respected organizations serve as valuable markers to evaluate professional credibility.
As everything in life, it depends on what type of professional you hire. Before engaging with any company, I'll tell you what I'd tell my friends and family members:
- Make sure the resume writer understands where you are at and where you'd like to be.
- Even if the resume writer doesn't ask, it's crucial to communicate the specific reason behind seeking resume assistance. Sharing this information helps the professional better understand your requirements, ensuring they deliver a product or service tailored to your specific needs. For instance, an individual facing a lack of responses from companies may have different needs compared to someone simply aiming to refresh their resume.
- Choose the type of service that makes sense to you, not the one they might try to sell. Are you OK with a low-cost, template-type of resume, or would you opt to invest more in a "boutique" approach that offers a resume aligned with your needs?
- Make sure the company or resume writer you hire can optimize your resume for automated systems. Some resume writers write great resumes but for human beings, not for robots, and when you submit your application online through job boards and corporate websites you apply through automated systems, and there's no human screening resumes at this initial stage of the hiring process.
would you opt to invest more in a "boutique" approach that offers tailored, customized results aligned with your needs instead of a standardized template-based resume?
✅ Can you help me with my LinkedIn profile?
Absolutely. I take my clients' careers and personal brands very seriously. In today's highly competitive job market, having a robust LinkedIn profile is no longer an option; it's KEY for personal brand development and career success. You'll get an "all-star," keyword-optimized LinkedIn profile that will show your potential to prospective employers and help you become relevant to the algorithm and visible to recruiters so they will be able to find you when they run search queries to fill positions.
✅ I've been applying for countless jobs but I never hear back from companies. What's wrong with me?
There's nothing wrong with you. It's common that 7 out of 10 resumes submitted online never make it to the recruiters' desk, and one of the main problems is formatting issues in your resume that prevent the bots from picking up the information they need to rank you as a robust fit (I address this question above, please check the 2nd FAQ). Now, if you're lucky to get past the HR screening software, a bland resume that doesn't show your potential to prospective employers won't take you anywhere either so you won't hear back from companies.
