What Does Your Resume Cost?
So you were thinking you might write your own resume?
That’s okay, if the following applies to you:
* You are an excellent writer.
* You are adept in grammar and spelling rules.
*
You have a solid understanding of the telegraphic writing style (which
eliminates the use of personal pronouns, such as "I" and "me" and
articles such as "the" and "a").
* You are an expert MS Word user.
* You keep up to date on industry trends.
* You are knowledgeable of resume layout and design.
* You know what information is relevant on a resume.
* You know what information is NOT relevant on a resume.
* You can devote several days to the resume writing process (research, preparation, writing, and editing).
Many
people find they do not have the time or resources to write a
professional resume that will get them results. You might also realize
along the way (like many do) that hiring a professional resume writer
will actually SAVE you money!
How you ask?
Imagine you
have recently become unemployed and your previous salary was $34,000
annually and you are looking to remain at the same salary. Every week of
unemployment equates to losing $653.85 in potential wages.
The
average out-of-work American is unemployed for 18 weeks. So using the
assumed $34,000 annual salary, you could lose $11,769.30 in potential
wages.
On the other hand, people that have utilized my
professional resume writing services have reported getting hired on
average within 5 weeks.
That’s a savings of over $8,500!!
Here’s an analogy for you.
I
can change the tires or the oil on my car. However, I would need to
devote a lot of time and effort into learning how to replace my
transmission. A mechanic on the other hand could have it done in a day
or two because they have the tools, knowledge, and resources necessary
to get it done properly.
Since I am not a mechanic, not only will
it take me well over a week, but I may not even do it correctly (and
consequently cost myself even more time and money).
So the next
time you think it's too expensive to have a resume professionally
written, you need to ask yourself, "What does your resume cost.”
