However, this client is also resisting all my efforts to do exactly what these articles suggest, like focusing on achievements and using keywords. He is a highly qualified engineer and has some impressive credentials, but he doesn't seem to get that I am trying to help him. Sometimes clients require a lot of education and hand-holding just to get them out of their own way. <br /><br />As a side note, I am doing his resume because he is receiving help from a local non-profit that I do volunteer resume writing for.

The latest statistic that I've heard is that jobseekers with professionally written resumes find a job 40% faster than those with self-written resumes. Professionally written resumes help candidates stand out, and help employers find great talent faster!Bridget Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12303071890800411643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2748554356315000507.post-88977396612403390982014-02-18T11:35:22.666-06:002014-02-18T11:35:22.666-06:00Great idea, Norine!Great idea, Norine!Bridget Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12303071890800411643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2748554356315000507.post-78095697946727894442014-02-18T11:33:13.393-06:002014-02-18T11:33:13.393-06:00Good post Bridget and any resume writer in busines...Good post Bridget and any resume writer in business for long will experience this. Unfortunately, it's also true that many people ask friends and family to help them write resumes, which often don't resonate with employers. For the past several months when providing resume reviews at job fairs, I'm hearing employers now complain that candidates need to hire resume writers to create their documents. What's circulating is less than par and employers are growing weary of reviewing poorly written, uninformative resumes while searching for the one person desperately needed for their current job opening. <br />Thanks for providing this insight for resume writers; it helps us all.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02919434087133888486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2748554356315000507.post-47586002315999553962014-02-18T11:33:03.198-06:002014-02-18T11:33:03.198-06:00Hi!

May I request that your articles be sent to my email (I am already receiving them on FB), but it would be something convenient we can use more if we could receive them in email format. My personal email is: perry0141@gmail.com (that 0 is a zero - as in 0141). Thank you so much. Love reading your brilliant articles!As Time Goes By...https://www.blogger.com/profile/06660595044109945262noreply@blogger.com
