RESUME WRITING

A resume is a document and marketing tool that summarizes your value, skills, and accomplishments. The purpose of a resume in the college, grad school, or job search process is to help support applications and requests for interviews.

There's a lot at stake in your search, including career growth and expanding your network. With all of this on the line, it's especially important to present a professional looking resume.

Most recruiters or employers spend an average of only 6—20 seconds scanning a resume before deciding whether or not to interview a candidate. When you enlist the expertise of a professional resume writer to develop content, format, and design, you increase your chances of success.
