Your Resume

icon-resume-cover-letterIt’s time to stop spinning your wheels and making a second-best effort. If you want that new job, the one that will meet your goals and satisfy your professional passions, you have to give it everything you’ve got. It’s time to make an investment in “You, Inc.”

You need an executive resume that is custom designed for you, that puts the spotlight on your accomplishments and strengths, and makes YOU the obvious choice for the position you want.

Like every good investment, the initial cost must be weighed in light of the long-term benefits. What price would you put on landing a steady stream of interviews? On the confidence-building effect of being highly sought after? On beating out hundreds or thousands of other candidates and winning the ultimate prize of that one position that is perfect for you?

During our initial consultation, you will receive an exact quote for your project. Your career investment is based on your level of experience, complexity of your project and related factors.

Executive Cover Letters

Are your cover letters getting you noticed, or getting you sidelined? A well-designed product package entices a customer to buy. A company would never attempt to sell a product without an eye-catching label. In fact, most companies spend thousands of dollars perfecting the first impression of their product – the package.

A well-written career-marketing letter is the packaging for your resume. Hiring managers read resumes with introductory letters that reel them in. A career-marketing letter that captures attention won’t leave the fate of your resume to chance.

Depending on the situation, you may need more than one kind of letter in your career campaign. Choose a specific letter or a suite of letters that you can use or modify as needed:

  • Ad response letters that will increase your interview opportunities
  • Direct approach letters to target employers, recruiters or venture capitalists
  • Information, advise and referral letters to contacts requesting a networking meeting
  • Resume letters that combine the features of a resume and cover letter into one (used when a resume may not be to your advantage)
  • Consulting letters for consulting, project or per-diem assignments
  • Interview thank you and follow-up letters to reinforce your candidacy, turn around a poor interview and keep communications open while maintaining your name in the forefront.
