A Professional Resume Writer is generally an experienced Recruiter with a number of years under his / her belt and who has a fair understanding of the way Recruitment Process works i.e., end-to-end Recruitment Cycle. She / He have been actively involved in Short Listing Candidates, conduct both telephonic and face-to-face Interviews and roll out Job Offers to prospective employees. The Professional would be an expert in identifying skills that work, internal workings of a Job Portal and the use of “keywords” to generate ‘eyeballs’ for the Resume listed on the Portal. They are able to gather the Digital Footprints of the candidate on Social Media and be able to analyse all the relevant information and come to a Brand Value of the Candidate.    
 
Hence, an external professional and experienced Resume Writer will be a good sounding board to test one’s ideas and thoughts. The Resume Writer can hand-hold and help identify problem areas and their solutions whether be it behavioral or a requirement to up-skill. The gaps in one’s profile can be analysed and worked upon. He can critically look at your Career, your achievements, performance and Career Growth and analyse it to come up with workable solutions to take your Career to the Next Level. Further a Resume Writer has the experience of working with hundreds of professionals and their profiles and hence can utilize his knowledge and expertise to deliver quality services.
 
A few deliverables or guidelines for Resume Writing…     
 

  • Hold the Interest of the Recruiter/Employer: There are hundreds of profiles available on any job portal for a position and the time to identify and close the position is of prime importance. The Employer does not have the bandwidth to comprehensively go through each and every profile. The professional hence has a 30/40 second window in which to attract the interest of the employer. So, the Resume must be crisp and perfect so as to hold the eyeball for the required duration to be shortlisted for further interactions.

 
A professional Resume Writer because of his exposure to the process and having handled numerous profiles can use his in-depth knowledge to get you the desired results i.e., get shortlisted.  
 

  • To the Point & Crisp Communication: A Resume needs to be clear in its objective and should be able to convey the right message to the prospective Employer/Recruiter. It should have the right balance of skills and expertise portrayed along with the career achievements so that it is crystal clear to the Employer/Recruiter on what the Professional brings to the table. It helps them in analysing the fitment for the particular job role that is on offer. A Professional Writer with his wide exposure to have handled different profiles from varying Industry segments can draw upon his expertise and give the professional that cutting edge communication to create a positive and lasting first impression. It helps in building up the professionals Brand Value in true sense.

 

  • A Quality & Error-free Document: There is no known co-relation between an error-free writing skill and job performance but it makes sense to create a document which is quality writing. Grammatical error or use of inappropriate language puts off a reader and hence it makes sense to not commit one. A Professional Resume Writer would eliminate any such error of omission or commission and would present you with a flawless Resume.  

 

  • Ironing out Issues: A Professional Resume Writer helps you in addressing any gaps or issues related to your career in a professional manner. Hopping Jobs, changing Industries, change in profiles and salary related issues are all that can be addressed and worked upon to an Interviewers satisfaction by the professional. He can using his experience suggest alternative ways of tackling the situation if the need so arises.

 

  • Identify USP’s: A Professional Resume Writer during the course of his interaction with you identifies your skills, strength areas and expertise and presents them in a manner so as create a lasting impression. He showcases your exposure to cross-functional roles or any additional capabilities which would have been created by showing positive intent or initiative while at work.

 

  • Expert Advisory: The single most important advantage of hiring a Professional Resume Writer is to draw out his experience and utilize his expert advisory on relevant Career Growth subjects. How to take your career to the next level, the finer points of a successful salary negotiation, creating the right career opportunity or re-setting your career goal all can be worked out comprehensively with a Professional Resume Writer.
