RESUMES AND LETTERS OF INTRODUCTION THAT ARE POWERFUL
AND, ATTENTION-GRABBING
You need a dynamite resume to compete in today's job market. No
hiring source will even speak with you unless you have a strong
resume for them to review. Even if you are the BEST candidate
for the position, hiring authorities will not bring you in for
an interview if your resume does not grab
their attention.
Your resume
must convey to the reader what makes YOU unique. It must showcase
your credentials and expertise, letting the reader know why you
are the best candidate for the job. It must have strong content
and a good visual presentation. Information must be focused on
job requirements, presented in the most easy-to-read way, and
must contain solid documentation of achievements and education.
Resume development fees range from $195 to $700, depending
on the level of complexity of the project. Call (248) 478-5662
for a custom resume quote.
"Because
of my age (56), I felt I would never be able to find the
Senior Management position I was wanting. You were
able to pull my vast experience together and present it
in a way prospective employers would see the benefits
I could offer them. I am now working at a job I love,
making more money than ever before."
Bill, Federal Express
"Joyce,
I thought my job search would take a long time with the
job market being what it is, and my level in management.
However, my resume got me interviews and I was offered
a position as Director of Human Resources."
Vickie, Phoenix Group
"Competition
is so stiff and my resume was submitted along with 88
other candidates for Director of Training. Thankfully,
I was offered the position within six weeks. I'm totally
convinced that having you prepare my resume and coach
me in negotiating skills, was what got me the offer. Thanks
so much for all your help."
Ellen, Key Plastics

WRITING
YOUR OWN RESUME?
Ask yourself
this question: With the huge investment in time and money for
your education, your solid career credentials and salary expectations
of $30,000, $60,000, or $100,000, do you want to be represented
by an amateur resume?
Huge companies,
such as GM and Proctor & Gamble, hire professional advertising
agencies to create vivid messages to hook us into buying their
products. Hiring a professional resume writer serves the same
purpose for you, as YOU are the product you want
potential employers to buy. A resume expert knows how to present
your background and credentials to future employers so it will
capture their attention and you will be invited in for an interview.
It has
been proven that a professionally done resume will shorten your
job search and often boosts your initial salary and benefit package
by thousands of dollars, because your true value is apparent to
the employer. It's a great investment in yourself and your career.
Your resume
must speak for you when you're not there, so it must be the BEST
- you're competing with your peers and you won't get a second
chance to make a GREAT first impression. Isn't it worth doing
right?

UNIQUE
COVER LETTERS TO FIT YOUR GOALS …AND OTHER MARKETING LETTERS
Cover
Letters - A cover letter should always accompany the resume
whether emailing, faxing, or snail mailing. It is vital that you
market your strengths in this letter, not just state the obvious.
The cover letters written by Create Your Career are unique to
you alone, but usable in almost any type of situation --broadcast,
networking, ad response, recruiter. Cover Letter development
fees range from $50 - $150 depending on the level of complexity
of the project.
Thank-you
Letters - A thank you letter should be sent to each person
who interviews you. It helps "RESELL" yourself and keeps your
name prominent in the employer's mind.
Resignation
Letters - Because employees change companies more frequently
than ever before, it is vital that you not burn any bridges as
you leave your current employer. A resignation letter demonstrates
your professionalism and secures positive feedback for future
references.

two months after beginning my job search, I accepted an
offer as Vice President of Operations. Your thorough
interview coaching helped prepare me for the tough questions
asked by the panel of interviewers. I really appreciate
your help."
Jon, Wallace Manufacturing
"I
want to thank you for coaching me through my recent job
search. Broadcast Communications is tough to break into
and I wondered if I could actually get a job in that field.
The resume you wrote was great, but the networking and
interviewing coaching we worked on, I believe, were what
cinched the offer I received as a Photojournalist.
Thanks so much for showing me the skills to make my dream
job come true."
Michael, WPBN-TV
"Joyce,
I am so grateful for all your assistance with my job search
and am confident the success I had obtaining my position

happened without the great coaching I received from your
company. It made all the difference."
