¶ Resume Tips and Cover Letters
So this week we're continuing with the resume questions and we're finishing out the episode , so make sure you stay tuned . Next question and I've and ?
I love this question because as 12 years ago , when I was looking for a job , i was unemployed for like six months or so And I applied for almost 200 jobs over that six months And I felt that whenever this question , i felt the frustration because I've been there .
The question is what can I do so I don't have to enter my information twice when applying for a job , since it won't take a text from my resume ?
Okay , i think this is an answer for some people , but it might be different depending on the company's application process . When I'm working with my clients , i usually want to find out how they're applying , meaning going directly to the company site , doing it on LinkedIn , and then we'll do some testing .
There are some job sites where they say copy and paste your resume into this text box . So when they do that , if they're copying and pasting a formatted document into that text box , it looks all wonky . So that is one complaint or not really complaint , but frustration I'm hearing from clients Then I have to go ahead and have to clean it up .
So usually when we're creating a resume , we create it in Word , in PDF and then in plain text file . So the plain text at least will get input more cleanly .
If your resume is formatted with tables , for example , and you upload it somehow and then it says please complete these boxes , you know , like I just put this in , it could be because it's not reading the tables . So all the extra formatting that I see in resumes sometimes creates that challenge and frustration of having to put it in again .
It can also be simple things like where are you putting your dates of employment . Generally they're on the right-hand side . If you have them on the left-hand side , some systems won't read it Again . That's why you need to input it .
The next question is is it still good etiquette to send a cover page with my resume ?
If you go on LinkedIn , you'll say , oh God , there's a debate on this . My answer is yes , it will not hurt . A lot of job postings say cover letter is required . The cover letter is your opportunity . Very briefly and concisely , not your long history . Very briefly and concisely , just to almost prove to the person that you're applying with .
I read the job posting , i know I'm a good fit and here's why . Okay , a couple of bullet points about why There might be something that you put on your cover letter that doesn't really belong on the resume , but it belongs on the cover letter . If the recruiter decides they don't want to read it , that's fine .
If you can't upload it at all , okay , well , is there another way to get it to the recruiter ? But you'll see people on LinkedIn saying cover letters are ways . A lot of times . If you don't have that exact experience , you need that cover letter . For example , the person who wants to get into low voltage .
They need to be able to describe why they believe they're a good fit . I generally recommend it . Unless the posting says absolutely no cover letter is accepted . Okay , i won't send a cover letter , but it can be helpful . I had somebody for one of my openings a couple of years ago I put on there on the top and the bottom cover letter required .
Because if I'm posting a cover letter I'm not going to be able to send it . Because if I'm posting , sometimes for a training facilitator position , i get resumes from actors . I get resumes from so many people that have absolutely no experience . So if you think you align to this job , i need a cover letter to help me .
Otherwise I'm not looking at your resume And I had somebody write back . I asked for a cover letter because I was not sure . It said the job was located on Long Island . This person lives in Ohio . I'm not really seeing how this person is going to get here three days a week . Right , it was a hybrid position .
And I received a response that said I'm way beyond , like I'm too advanced in my career to have to write a cover letter . So I thought , okay , well then I'm not proceeding because I don't see this fit .
Well , that also sends a message too , doesn't it Yeah ?
that was .
If they're going to treat you like that as a candidate ? Yes , it was . How are they going to treat you when they're an actual employee And you're ?
Exactly . It was quite bizarre . I had to actually read it three times because I wasn't sure what I saw , you know . and I showed it to somebody else and said am I reading this wrong ?
Make sure I'm not Help me , make sure I'm not reading this directly .
Right , I always give everybody like second , third , you know chances , and the two people I showed to said no , you're reading it right ? I said okay .
So You know that's actually a good tip is , if you write your own resume , have somebody else read it . Yes , yes .
Have somebody else read it , you will . I do warn people , though if you show it to your brother , your best friend , your neighbor , you're going to get three different perspectives on that resume .
What you're looking for are trends , and usually what I'll say is if you're showing it to a friend who's not a resume writer , ask them if they could describe back to you what you do . Oh God , that's great , right , and why they should write . That's what you want to know . But you'll get all kinds of you know where's your picture ?
Well , no , pictures don't go on the resume anymore . Or you know where's the references upon request ? No , that doesn't go on there . So you'll , but you do want to know . Hey , if I gave this to you , do you know what I do ? And that could be some good feedback .
Gotcha , You know , I like how you pointed out references upon request . I mean that's kind of almost a standard . Now I mean , why would you even put that on a resume , Right ? right , Because it's not expected . If they're interested enough in you , they will ask for it .
Yes , yes yes , And they might ask it on the application . That's where you'll put it . It's a waste of real estate . The references upon request .
Volunteer I want that term is a waste of real estate . It's a waste of real estate . Think of your resume . Here's a NASCAR reference . I don't even follow NASCAR . When you look at a NASCAR , they have different sponsors stickers on their cars And how much space they take is how much they charge for that sponsorship .
It's considered real estate , yes , and so why would you waste that valuable , important real estate on something that's already assumed ?
Yes , yes , there's a lot . Unless it really applies to your job , you don't need to put your volunteer activities . It might apply to your job , especially if you're applying for a nonprofit . But you know there are things like that . My hobbies . take that off . You know I love to ski and travel with my kids on the weekends , not on the resume .
That could also be a bad thing too , because you know like one of my hobbies is making my own line , and if the HR person is a recovering alcoholic boom .
Right . So that's not . you know , that could be a good building report question that the HR manager asked you in the beginning of an interview , and then you want to look around and make sure you know whatever . I don't want to say anything inappropriate .
Right . Well , you should see when I tell people I make my own wine and I mention they and I tell them , well , right now in my closet I've got 12 gallons of wine , oh my gosh . And they look at me like , just like you just did . 12 gallons , yeah , because you make them in six gallon increments and then you bottle them .
So for those who don't know , six gallons is roughly about 24 bottles of wine . And you know wine takes months . You know you don't just make it overnight , it takes months , sometimes a year to the full process . So you always got , you know , some . Some wine is just starting , some that's close to being done , being aged and stuff like that .
But it's a fun hobby , it's just something I like . My wife drinks wine . I'm not a big wine drinker , i'd make it for her And . But you're right , you know you might think that hobby's cool , right ?
Maybe the person who's doing the interviewing may not , and it's it's not relevant to the job You know like , for example , here's one that might be applicable , let me know . So in our industry we have , we have this organization called Bixie Building Industry Consulting Services International . It represents our industry .
They have committees And those committees write publications , best practice manuals and and credentialing and stuff like that . So if your hobby is volunteering for committees on Bixie , that would be appropriate , right .
Yes , yes , and I would , i would list that under you know organizations . After your education you know those relevant organizations . And not again , not just I signed up and paid my membership due Right , my membership dues , just you know if you were really involved in that , that should go on there .
Yeah , Cause that speaks to again . That's that's speaking to the dedication to the industry , instead of just saying , yeah , I got my RCD certification . Right , Yeah , I got my RCD certification , but I'm also on the Bixie Mentoring Committee to help mentor young and upcoming Perfect .
Perfect , that goes on there . And and , and you know that gets listed as professional organizations . You know the relevant professional ones .
Right , okay , next question Should I have a tailored resume for different types of positions , for example , like project manager versus an
¶ Resume Tailoring and Job Interview Tips
estimator ?
That's a loaded question because it depends . It depends on your experience . So you , i will do two versions of resumes for clients .
Sometimes , if those two different jobs , or the , if those two jobs are quite different and the experience that the client has and wants to highlight is very different , okay , so here's your project manager job And here's your estimator . It's , in fact , a very different us .
Sometimes , though , you can have one that's highlighting both , right , so we'll start with the summary . We can start with our headline , project manager and estimator , and then the summary describes the two lines of experience that you've had and your skills describe it .
So I don't recommend tailoring your resume for every single job that you're applying for , because that will make you insane And you might , when you have an interview , pull the wrong resume that you sent Yes , right . So , unless you title it , print it and write on there exactly which job you applied for with that resume .
That could be a challenge , And whatever resume you send in these days should match to your LinkedIn . So I don't and you have other resumes , say , writers say something different . I don't recommend for every job , but if there is a , if it's a type of a job , yes , you will have . You might have two or three different resumes .
Gotcha . Yeah , I think that's what they were talking about , Not specific , specific jobs for a specific company , but rather a job position .
So you know , a project manager has different duties and skills required than an estimator , But the person who might be applying for a project manager job might have been he might be currently being estimated now , but might have been a project manager in the past .
So he could tailor one resume to apply to all of the project manager positions and then another one towards all the estimating positions .
Sure , and but and again . sometimes you don't have to if you're able to combine both . You know I've done resumes where you know we've highlighted under position project management here's what I did . Estimating , here's what I did .
And then when you're writing the cover letter , that's your chance to say I'm really interested in this project management position because I truly enjoyed when I did this , this and this and was very successful here , you know . So it I don't , it doesn't have to be arduous , or I don't want it to be arduous for the time Right .
Right , yeah , i'm just thinking , you know , as from what you said earlier about that , that top third of the resume being very , very , very valuable real estate .
That to me , if , if , if I were , i probably would have one resume , for actually I probably have three one for project management positions , one for estimating positions , one for training positions because , those are the three major things that I've done with my career Right And I can highlight skill sets , because I've always felt and I might maybe maybe you can
tell me if I'm right or just totally off the point but I always felt that the resume should be the answer to the question that the HR person's asking . And if they're and they're , we don't know what the questions are asking . Read the job description Right , right , right I mean the verb is a question , but they're , they're there , yes , you know , it did that .
That job description tells you what's important to them And if you don't tell them , you've got . You know , if , if gold's valuable to them and you don't have gold , you've got silver , right , you're probably not going to get the job Right , exactly .
And you know there's a little tip if somebody's working on their own resume , there's different websites that are free where you can do keyword searches and analysis , and I'll take somebody's resume after I've worked on it , do the keyword analysis you get by single phrase , double phrase , triple phrase .
Then I take the job postings and check against it to see does this person's experience highlight that So exactly ? they put it in their job description and usually whatever is first is what's most important , what's top of mind . Are we showing that on the resume ?
If you have that experience , if you don't have that experience , your cover letter needs to describe why I'm still applying for this job even though I don't have this , this and this . But I have this . So there are . But again , that keyword search is very helpful . Yes , yes .
I love this question And you told me before we started hitting the record button . You said you . There's one of your favorite questions . I took a break from the low voltage industry a couple of years ago to hike the Appalachian Trail . For those who don't know , if you hike the full trail , that's usually about a year .
Yes , yeah , how can I explain this gap in my resume ? I'm wondering is this ?
was this person in a documentary I just saw , because there was a documentary about this .
I could have been .
They followed this person hiking the Appalachian Trail . You can again , this is client specific but if it's six , if it was six months , most of the time you don't even need to highlight it . Okay , When you get to the application and you're putting in those dates , you might have to be ready . If you , if you , took this time off , how much was it ?
Two years , one year ?
Usually well , it's usually about a year . They didn't say in the question how long they took out , but Okay , i actually does say it's a couple of years .
A couple of years . So if there's a professional way to put you know took a break and if there's a professional way to put the reason or how the opportunity presented itself , you can put it there . I would want to see it and see how it looks when all said and done .
You know , before saying to the client yes or no , sometimes you don't need to put anything , but you do need to be prepared to answer the question on the interview Right And , again , have a very professional reason for doing that .
That's great advice is , you know , when you ? two things I want to add here real quickly When you're going to do the interview , try to anticipate every question they're going to ask you and think about how you're going to respond to . And practice in front of a mirror . Yes , Right , Practice in front of the mirror .
And then the other thing , because it's going to make you sound more articulate . And the second thing is a lot of people miss this And I think you and I talked about this when I reached out to you a couple of weeks back to ask you about coming on the show is you're interviewing them as much as they're interviewing you ?
You don't want to go work for a company just because you need a job and to find out , well , the company culture there doesn't match your personal value , Right , Right .
And that's actually a good question . So you want not only to anticipate the questions they're going to have based on your resume , but you want to be prepared to ask them questions . You know what is the culture here , and don't ask this . Somebody asked this to me when I was hiring When can I start taking the vacation days ?
That was a question during the first interview . That's flag number one , right , but I did follow up with that ? I said well , that's an interesting question for first interview . Is there a specific reason ? And the person said well , we already have a trip booked for June .
Okay , So okay , okay , That makes sense .
That makes sense .
Okay , But it actually says the candidate didn't hire her . But I said next time maybe wait till later , not the first interview , maybe in the second interview .
Yeah , when there's some kind of showing from the company that they're interested in you , like the second interview , yes , yes . Or at the end of the first interview and you get that because some people don't have to go through second or third interviews Right .
But then that first interview , you feel like it's a really positive conversation And you feel like they're interested in you and they're going to offer you a position . You need to say , hey , look , just so you know , i've already paid for a deposit on a vacation in June .
So if we get to the process where you offer a position , i need to know that I'm still going to be able to take that vacation .
Yes , Yes , Yes . And then you do want to have other questions ready about the culture , about the job .
Yes .
What's it like , how am I trained , and all that .
You know my current day job . When I went through the , i did a phone interview first , because I'm in Florida . They're on the other side of the country . So I did a phone interview And they liked me enough that they flew me out there to interview with them . And they told me look , we're going to have you interview with .
And they listed the four people that I was going to be talking to . So I said , great , not a problem . So immediately I got on LinkedIn and looked up all four of those people , right ? And so , for example , when I was meeting with the VP of sales , i noticed that he had a four year degree And I just he had a master's degree .
I'm sorry , and I just finished my master's degree . So when I was interviewing with him , he goes do you have any questions for me ? I said , yeah , i do . I said I noticed that you graduated with a master's degree from blah blah blah college .
I just got my master's degree .
How do you feel that having your master's degree helped you be successful within this company ?
Oh , that's a great question . Obviously , I got the job . That is a great question .
I love it . Yes , yes , it's all about being prepared .
You have to do your research . I'm still surprised now people that don't research the company . If you know who you're interviewing , research them and go back and this is probably not the right terminology . But study the job description again . Make sure you remember which job this was and why you apply for it .
Especially if you've been looking for jobs for a few months and you've been applying for a bunch of different jobs .
Yes , and it's pretty straight . Yeah , this call could be from three months ago . Find it . Make sure you have that resume . Make sure you still have that job posting .
Great . Next question Should I use bullet points or should I write paragraphs when describing my duties , or is it more important just to list my work accomplishments ?
¶ Resume Formatting and Degree Listing
All of the above , so the in . When formatting a resume , obviously we're looking at the experience we have and all of the information first , but a good way to structure is a very a short paragraph that outlines your responsibilities without using the word responsible for right . That's a waste of real estate using active language .
That that's your paragraph , because you need those keywords and they need to be able to see okay , this person has the experience we're looking for , and then , underneath , putting your accomplishments in bullets . So here's , here's what the job entails , and then those accomplishments underneath they're saying and here's how I did it , and both of those are important .
I definitely recommend not all bullets , because I'm now I'm not sure what I should be looking at , you know , as a reader , so all bullets can be distracting , but as long as there's consistency a short paragraph that's describing your job , you task , your responsibility , and then the bullets .
So you mentioned something that I want you to kind of expand on , because I think I know what it means , but I guarantee you there's a lot of people listening may not know what it means . You said use active language . What is that ? Can you give us an example ?
So you could say responsible for purchasing , estimating , installing . You can turn that around and say installed this much cable day or created estimates for something that creates action , the conveys action .
Yes , Yes , anytime you see something you know that says responsible for above , above , you can always cross up the responsible for and say OK , well , what did you do ? You know , I managed the training department . I created training programs , i installed this Right . So that's what we mean by that the active language and then make sure it's consistent throughout .
Excellent .
Next question . This is the final question . Actually , i got a couple of questions after this . One says I'm applying for . I'm applying to work for a cable company , but my degree is in political science . Should I list this or just my GPA ?
So there's again a couple ways to do this . Applying for job at a cable company , you definitely want to list your degree . You , you can , if you want , if you're not sure if it's going to sideline or not , just put you know . receive my bachelor of arts degree from Villanova University , for example .
And if you don't , if you think it will hurt you to put political science , and that's it . I , just I . you know , as a hiring manager , i need to know And go back to the job description . If the job description has specifics about the education that you need , you need to make sure you highlight that .
the GPA really to me and again , other resume writers may feel differently and hiring managers may feel differently I only see the need for a GPA if you graduated within the last couple of years Okay , once you've been working , your two PIs is still an important part of your history , but it doesn't have to be listed on your resume .
So if you're not sure if that political science is going to help you and you haven't been out of school for long , you could put you know I got my bachelor of science , bachelor of arts , whatever from this university . GPA of this .
if you want to highlight how you're a good learner or a good you know good student , or something like that , but I don't need your GPA if you've been out working for 20 years , right , yeah with .
I've never been of the train of thought that if you're applying for a project manager and you have a degree in political science science , to me that was never a negative thing , it was just a okay . You can make a goal and you can achieve that goal .
Right , right , that's right .
Exactly Now . If the degree is in , you know electrical engineer , well then there's a little more weight to that because that directly ties to what I do . But I never looked negatively at any degree because if you've gone through college you realize it's a four year commitment , right , right and you finished .
You took on that huge mountain and you and you kept going , day after day after day after day after day after day after day , and you , you climbed that mountain , you got to the top .
So if you can do that , then I know , when I give you that six month project to do , to manage , that's going to be like a piece of cake for you , because you don't , yeah , i don't , i don't , you know , it's up to somebody if they feel comfortable putting that degree .
I don't think it will hurt you . It shows that you , that you graduated Right , and you again , if the job description is asking for something specific , you need to do that cover letter , you know , and show that your experience will make up for that degree , that specific degree that you're looking for , gotcha .
So now let's talk a little bit about professional resume writers . Okay , okay , you should know something about that A little . So , and I know you're going to say it depends . But if , if , if , if somebody wanted to get their resume written by a professional , what kind of investment are they talking ? That is I know he says it depends It's huge range .
Obviously , a manager position would be , would be a more involved . It depends on how much work you put into the resume
¶ Choosing a Professional Resume Writer
. Right , let's break this up . Let's say somebody in the field , if they wanted to , somebody who's a technician probably . You know they got 20 years of experience , but they can get into two pages or less . Are we talking $500 , $5,000 , $50,000 ?
Definitely not the last .
I you know , definitely not the last two .
Otherwise , you know , you might see Monte Cristo behind me , right ? So there's a few ways to go with the resume writers . There are large agencies that have set plans based on the length of your resume . So might be one page resume $200, . You might see another company one page resume $300 . And 20 years of experience $500 , 20 years of experience $1,000 , right .
So they , they have their different packages The . I work a little bit differently And and I have colleagues that also work the same way that I do I base it on the amount of work that I need to dedicate to help you , right ? So when you go to some of the larger agencies , it's a pretty efficient process , but it's not as personal , right ?
So you fill out a questionnaire , you send it in . They make the changes , they send it back . You make a revision , you send it back . You don't have a conversation with anybody , which is fine . It will work . For some people , it definitely will work . You'll see lower prices there . Other resume writers Like I don't give a fay until somebody's .
I need to see what I'm working with . Okay , send me your current resume , tell me what you want to do . I will then figure out how much work we need to do to get it to that point , mm-hmm . So You know there could be a range depending For the past three years so I know it's being broadcast .
I'm risking this but the range has been Between 250 to not thousand two hundred fifty dollars up to 1200 . Gotcha , that's pretty much what the range has been . Okay and it depends on . Are we starting from scratch ? Right , we have nothing and you have 20 years of work We've done On the corporate side of my business .
You know we work with companies who are outsourcing and We go in and we do one-day workshops , called next-step career workshop , and then those folks , if they've attended the workshop , they get a discount on the resumes because we know they've already learned Some of the key things right the reason I'm bringing that up is a lot of those clients were at the same
company for 30 years . They had nothing Right , so their fee is going to be higher right then somebody that just got a job there a year ago And that resume was pretty good . that got them there . We just need to update , it's not ?
a stale . It's not a stale or something . Yeah , yeah exactly .
So you go online and find probably resumes that start at 199 And then if you you know , when you look , if you want to have a conversation with that writer , it's an additional 50 dollars , you know . So they can do it that way , or there's packages , and then it also depends if you need help interviewing . So You know like we work .
We work on the resumes with clients , on cover letters , interviewing prep Loops , on some salary negotiation practice with people , and then We help them figure out now what needs to go on your LinkedIn . So it depends on what what's needed .
Yeah . Yeah , i wasn't trying to get pin you down on what your prices right , right there are way too many variable . Right , right , you know , and I understand it . But but I know somebody listening this shows gonna be thinking you know I , i didn't do good in English in high school . Hmm , might be worth it to me .
Let me ask you this question If somebody gets and it's just an opinion is not not fact do you feel that a resume written by a Professional writer such as yourself or your colleagues has a better chance of going through and getting hired than somebody who does one themselves ?
I would say yes , Unless the person writing it again .
It's really good , yeah , it's a good writer You know there's lots of templates online .
If they , you know , do research and find a template and they're a good writer , you know , i think that also increases the odds .
I should have prefaced that the majority of the people in our industry they type like this And for those who are listening , i'm doing the two-finger typing Oh right , so so don't get me wrong , there are some . I worked with a project manager who had a degree in Literature and he was an excellent writer . I used to go to end up right now my stuff .
I use them as my second set of eyes on a lot of my documents I put out and . But those are few and far between in our industry . Few and far between . If somebody's looking to hire a Professional resume writer , what are some of the search criteria or some of the things they should look at when they're evaluating who to pick ?
I mean I would look at experience . I mean , if you're choosing between people , i would look for certification experience if they can talk to you about , you know , the the type of work that they've done . Now I'll give to a little disclaimer on asking for samples . Okay , so We've . I've had in the past people asked for samples and I would send some samples .
You know , take people's names out , take the phone numbers out , all that they identifying information . I Did that up until somebody took that sample and said , oh , i don't need you and Oh , i brought it to a writer who then wrote the resume . So I will show samples on a zoom . Meeting takes 10 minutes .
I'll pick out , i'll pick out samples and my husband was funny because he says you know they can still take a screenshot .
I said I know , but you know they got to work harder for it .
Right , that's what I said . It's a little bit harder for them . So you know , it's it just gonna make them work a little bit . So people do ask for samples or they want to see samples . The other challenge with that is there's a lot of samples on the internet , so somebody that's not legit can say sure , here's my sample of the work I've done .
I would say if you can talk to that person , whether it's by email or phone , you feel comfortable with them . They understand what you're trying to do . They have references that they can give you . References can be challenging if the references are actually working somewhere and looking for jobs .
So as a resume writer , you want to find people that are not actively looking . They'll be more comfortable to do that . And again , what's best for your process ? If you don't feel like talking to the person , emailing back and forth works , then look at how they're responding to you , right ?
You mentioned earlier that you were a certified professional resume writer CPRW . our industry loves acronyms . Oh , and that's how I was like I got to find out what that acronym means Yeah .
So if somebody is trying to pick between a couple of different resume writers and one of them has that certification , what value add is that for the person who's looking to get that resume created ?
Good question . So you know there's similar in your industry . You have to go through a certification process every year , regardless . You know , depending on the association that certify me , you have to recertify . The advantage is now similar to your industry .
We're part of a group that's always staying current on what's happening with resumes , what's happening with LinkedIn . You know so . It's that's my feeling , that's what the difference is Like , and even you . Somebody could even go the professional association for resume writers and career coaches and go right in there and anybody listed in there is certified . You know .
So if you want somebody that's local to you because you think they understand the business , you can search that way . You know , go into those organizations' websites .
Excellent . It's probably the same thing for our certifications , right ? I'm a certified registered communications distribution designer , an RCDD . If a client is looking for a project manager , an estimator , and it's between me and one other person , i have my RCDD . The other person doesn't .
That doesn't mean the other person is not as good as me , because I've got that as a me , but I've gone through a couple of extra steps to document my skills .
Yes , that's pretty much it , yeah . Yeah because there are some people I know are excellent resume writers . They're not certified . They are incredible resume writers . So , and some people have been like , the first time I was certified was internally , as I mentioned , at Chase .
Chase , oh geez , at the time had just amazing Co-Career Development Center And you know that certification was for Chase so it didn't have any meaning outside of . Chase which is why them and Chase had , you know , say how can I get certified ? So , but that would still be important .
you know , like if I saw that on a resume writer's bio , okay they were , you know they'd done it for this long or they could have they could have a coaching certification . you know there's different certifications out there And again it does mean they took the extra step Right .
What a great conversation . Oh , i like talking to you . What a great conversation . I you know , when I I knew this was something I wanted to address but I thought it would be a dull , boring conversation . But , man , i had a fantastic time and you answered some really good questions , had some really good advice . I appreciate , i pray number one .
I appreciate you sticking around longer than I originally asked you to .
Okay , i hope it wasn't too much talk .
Oh , no , no , no , no but you know , i do have a follow-up question . If somebody wants to get their resume righted and they want you to write that resume , how do they get in touch with ?
you . Well , i'm on LinkedIn And they can send me a message on LinkedIn And what I do is , you know , depending on availability , because I take that personal approach with all my clients .
So usually I have them send me their current resume , a sample job posting that kind of indicates what they'd be looking at , and then I , you know , i'll say here's a plan , here's when I can start and here's what the fee will be .
Based on you . I'll put your LinkedIn profile in the description below so people can definitely get ahold of you
