What if your current dead-on-arrival resume could be turned into a powerful marketing tool?
That’s what you need right?
A resume that sells you!
That means you need a marketing resume that will present your background, skills, talents, and experience in an engaging - yet thoroughly professional manner.
Recruiters immediately notice a resume like that. It stands out from the stack.
They are impressed by it, and they think, "Hmmmmm. I have to meet with this candidate."
Wouldn't you like your phone to ring or to get an email in your in-box from an employer?
But where to begin?
Well, for starters, you need to realise that your current "shopping list resume" simply will not do.
You see a resume must be more than a tedious description of your prior jobs and their respective tasks.
A resume is much more than a put-together-at-the-last-minute-list.
Your resume is a sales document.
Yes, I've used that dreaded word, SALES.
I know you aren't comfortable with selling yourself, most people aren't.
Which is where I come in.
As an objective person I (and my staff) are spot-on when it comes to seeing what makes you marketable to potential employers - even when you can't.
And we know how to communicate your assets on paper with the written word.
No, the employer or recruiter won't think you are bragging or that you are arrogant.
If there is ONE time in your life when you need to sell yourself it's now.

What's the process for developing this professional resume?
|
After you've placed your order with Impressive Resumes, you will be emailed a questionnaire.
Our questionnaire is incredibly thorough and developed to help jog your memory to uncover even hidden assets that you haven't thought about in years.
We call it digging for resume gold.
Once you've completed your questionnaire and returned it to us, together, we'll review the answers.
Other Internet providers just have resume "wizard" tools where you plug in your information. They are okay as far as they go.
But the problem with a tool versus a person is that it can't "hear" a nuanced answer.
When a real live person speaks to you on the phone, or corresponds with you by email, he or she can pick up on details that make your talents and credentials stand out.
Another thing a human being can do is to rephrase a question that you're stumped on.
This will help you to remember those situations, challenges, and specific incidences, which are relevant to your resume.
Of course, assessing the not-so-relevant is also part of the process and something that can't be done by a wizard.

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." |
After eleven years of writing resumes and government job applications, we understand the pitfalls and challenges you face when trying to describe yourself.
We can be objective. It's really hard when you are "in the thick of it" to strike the right balance between accurately providing a snapshot of your career and selling yourself effectively.
Once all your resume gold has been mined, we'll go to work drafting your resume.
We tell your story!
We describe your experience, skill-set, and talents. We describe how you meet your challenges head-on, sort them out, and resolve them for your employers.
Plus we demonstrate the amazing results you have achieved because of your persistence and consistency!
|
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. |
