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 designed to efficiently gather the necessary information from clients, enabling me to assist professionals across various industries with outstanding results.
✅ Will my resume be ATS-Compliant?
"I'm not sure why "ATS-compliant" became such a buzzword—probably because it sounds fancy—but the truth is, there are no formal compliance guidelines when it comes to writing resumes for Applicant Tracking Systems, so the concept of an "ATS-compliant" resume is 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 have 10 years of experience in this field, and specialize in writing ATS-Compatible, keyword-rich and optimized resumes for applicant tracking systems.
Resumes need to have a specific format and present information in a way that enables applicant tracking systems (ATS) to accurately parse and extract relevant data for candidate evaluation in relation to the job description, assessing how well the candidate fits the role. In most cases, only those resumes considered 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.
I’m a strong believer that job seekers shouldn’t have to pay to know where they stand. For this reason, I offer complimentary resume assessments. Feel free to submit your resume via the contact form under this link: Contact Me
✅ 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 that you'll never find a job because that's simply not 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, and as resume writers, we have no control over the many factors involved; 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 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 receive a compelling, achievements-focused resume that truly captures your value and portrays you as the top performer 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 assist 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 need to trust your gut. However, there are several indicators that can help, such as referrals, reviews, a credible website, and a strong online presence across platforms like LinkedIn, Google, Google Business listings, Bing, and X, among others. Additionally, awards and accreditations from respected organizations are valuable indicators of professional credibility.
As with everything in life, it depends on the type of professional you hire. Before engaging with any company, here’s what I’d tell my friends and family:
- Make sure the resume writer understands where you are now and where you'd like to be.
- Even if the resume writer doesn’t ask, it’s essential to communicate why you’re seeking resume assistance. Sharing this context helps the professional better understand your needs, ensuring they deliver a product or service tailored to your specific situation. For example, someone not receiving responses from companies may need different support compared to someone simply updating their resume.
- Choose the service that makes sense for you, not necessarily the one they try to sell you. Are you comfortable with a low-cost, template-style resume, or would you prefer to invest in a more tailored "boutique" approach that offers customized results aligned with your goals?
- Ensure the resume writer or company you hire can optimize your resume for automated systems. Some resume writers craft excellent resumes for humans, but not for applicant tracking systems, and this is important because when you submit applications through job boards and corporate websites, they are processed by automated systems without human screening at this initial stage of the hiring process.
✅ 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.
✅ How can I work with you?
I would love to work with you and help you achieve your career goals. You can reach out to me at giselleb@resumewritingbbc.com , and I'll get back to you within 24 - 48 hrs.
