Unlike many course instructors, I've been actually WRITINGRESUMES professionally for 15+ years, and literally working on hundreds (likely 1000’s) of resumes. I’d simply have to truthfully say:
Most people do need help, or would at least benefit from professional help. I'd guesstimate that 90- 95% of resumes I see could be improved – sometimes dramatically – with some help. It’s competitive out there.
This class and guide will help you assess YOURSELF:
Your SKILL level for writing your resume
Your time and budget you have available for your resume and
Your level of personal interest in learning HOW to “DIY it”
AND
How to assess RESUMEWRITERS or writing services
We'll go over:
How do you know if you actually NEED a professional resume writer?
Could you probably do just as good yourself?
What to look for in an ok, good, and great writer – and what to avoid
The price range/details to expect at 3 different levels of service & pricing
If the writer you already hired did a good job – or not
Who can truly do a good (or good enough) job on their own (DIY - do it yourself)?
Truth? SOME. Not everyone.
That’s my honest, professional assessment given my 15+ years in this career.
**There’s no shame in needing resume help!** I probably don’t know how to do what YOU know how to do after all!
HOWEVER, depending on your interest and ability in "doing it yourself" (DIYing it), some people can do a nice job, even a great job, especially if they can apply professional feedback and guidance. My other class "How to Pass the Resume Scan Tests" (Software Scanners AND Humans) has lots of helpful input if that interests you.
So I offer this video version, along with a pdf guide, to help job seekers to assess themselves with a QUICK QUIZ – and – detailed input for those that dig the details.
This course and the accompanying 20 page pdf INSIDER’S GUIDE includes:
check lists,
quick clarity quizzes, and
comparison tables for fast reference,
And for the more detail inclined folks ,it also includes more detailed input and explanations, too!
Hope this helps you decide what's best for YOU - hiring a pro, or, DIYing it!
