HOW TO CALL THE SHOTS WITH RECRUITMENT AGENCIES,

CASUALLY MENTION YOUR NEW PROMOTION TO

COLLEAGUES AND STOP AGONISING ABOUT HOW TO SELL

YOURSELF IN A RESUME

If you’ve been searching for information on how to start getting the response you need from employers and recruitment agencies and get your foot in the door, this will be the most important page you have ever read.

Here’s why.

Most job seekers we talk to are sick and tired of:

Getting annoying clichéd, one-size-fits-all rejection emails, or even worse, no response at all. How rude!

Agonising over how to sell themselves on paper
Calling and getting either voicemail or the standard "send us your resume" pat answer. Boy how times have changed!

Knowing they can do the job but not knowing how to articulate this in a resume or where to start

Certainty that something is wrong with their resume but floundering as to what that something actually is.

Drowning in a vast sea of information in this internet age, and not knowing what is valid and what isn’t when it comes to information about professional resume writing and selection criteria or government job applications. Will the resume writer get them what they so desperately want, THAT 64 million dollar job interview? Will the professional fees be money well spent?

Being time poor - getting up at the crack of dawn with the rest of the rat race travelling hours to get to a job they have done for a trillenia it seems like.

By which time, the last thing they want to do is attempt to write their resume themselves

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!

My name is Andrea (my clients call me the "Resume Lady!") and I started this business back in 1998. I’d been an Executive Assistant for years working for powerful high profile CEOs as well as frantically busy overworked Recruitment Consultants.

With the impending birth of my first child, I bit the bullet. I’d always felt dissatisfied working for others, knowing I had the nouse to do and be more, and had been told many times my writing was "amazing" and "I don’t know how you do that"

The truth is it’s instinctive. The words always just "came to me." Probably didn’t hurt that I was reading and writing as a toddler either. When I began all those years ago I was astounded at how difficult people found resume writing and how enjoyable and easy I found it. This was the start of a fantastic career.

One of the most rewarding aspects has been surrounding myself with an expert capable team to assist me in achieving the career goals of our clients. Knowing that I have contributed to that goal and forwarded this in some way is a reward that is difficult to measure. To try and get this message across to you I want to tell you some stories about the differences we have been able to make in the hope that you take advantage of similar wins and successes...

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE IN TREVORS SHOES EARNING

$130,000 AFTER BEING UNEMPLOYED WITH NO CLUE WHAT

TO DO FOR THE PREVIOUS 18 MONTHS

Truly.

Let me introduce you to Trevor. I met Trevor during one of my resume writing seminars in 2008. He’s been out of work for over eighteen months. After talking to Trevor I noticed he’d been committing probably the deadliest sin of resume writing (but more on that later).

He’d been a Senior Sales Manager for years and all of the prestige, salary and status that goes with that.

By the time I met him he was feeling pretty sorry for himself. "I’m too old" he said looking downcast and depressed.

I spoke to Trevor and went through the key principle I would be employing in writing his achievements into his resume or how he added value.

I was shocked when he told me of these amazing achievements that had major positive consequences for the company he was working for at the time, saving them hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Why you may ask?

Well, none of these were in his resume.

HE WAS BLIND TO HIS OWN ACHIEVEMENTS AND SUCCESSES!

THEY NO LONGER FEATURED ON HIS "I’M THE BEST PERSON

FOR THIS NEW JOB" RADAR!

Upon rewriting his resume, within 2 days (Yes even I was shocked by the swiftness of his success) He had his first interview. Whilst he didn’t get the job, this cut his teeth for the big one.

A Sales Manager role for a large multinational paying six figures with a new car, mobile phone and 60 staff.

Wow!

His success made my day, and I think it’s pretty safe to say it made his day. If not year. Or life even.

Yes, engaging the services of our team, industry veterans with years of experience and training under our belt, is money very well spent. Or so our clients keep telling us

Have a look at this independent review website link below. We're unable to edit any of

the comments or feedback and as you can see many people agree with Trevor:

ANGELA'S STORY

Angela was a graduate nurse. She was a young Mum and passionate about midwifery.

Her challenge?

Write her resume in a way which adequately represented her innovative and problem solving approach, in order to gain her the graduate position she had dreamed of.

This was done in several ways, completion of our in-house questionnaire, but also intensive work together to further refine her achievements, eliminating much of the "fluffy stuff" Angela had provided.

The result, a spot-on, professional marketing document, along with a well written selection criteria document and cover letter.

Says Angela: "I love what you did with the documents, it's exactly what I wanted to say, exactly! I really don't know what to say to you, thank you so much. In all my years dealing with professionals I have never seen as much dedication and involvement as you have shared with me. It really does show how much you care about your clients."

And if you have a gap in your resume because of a life problem – we can deal with that, too.

We might even be able to show your prospective employer how the way you resolved your problem makes you an even better prospective employee.

Of course we pay particular attention to the layout.

It must be....

Attractive

Scannable

Readable

Uncluttered

Professional

Impressive

NERIDA'S STORY

Nerida was working for a large, countrywide fabric retail chain.

For a young graduate she had some really impressive achievements.

The trick? Gleaning the pertinent details from her completed questionnaire and getting a real sense of the differences she made, and the fantastic feedback gained from senior management.

This was done effectively in two drafts.

When Nerida's designer partner called me several months later to also have me expertly write his resume, he casually told me that Nerida had gained her pick of three jobs, which she declined until she got the right "fit" with a large prestigious company, closer to home and paying a higher salary.
