Services Provided by Atlanta Résumé Service

In this market we recommend the Chronological Résumé style. You know… “This is my last position, here are my accomplishments, and here is my job before that and my accomplishments there… ” (It’s really a reverse chronological résumé, but we all call it “Chronological”… Go figure!) There are times when Functional Résumés or Blended Résumés are appropriate and we offer that customized approach too. Remember, we’ll tailor the format for you and your needs. Below is an explanation of the (Chronological) Résumés we offer.

Federal 5+ Years

In the United States, a federal resume is a type of résumé constructed specifically to apply for Federal government jobs. Like a private sector resume, it contains a summary or listing of relevant job experience and education. A Federal resume is one of three documents accepted as an official application for position vacancies within the Federal government. Whether you are retired military that needs to “civilianize” your resume or simply need to construct a federal resume document, having a skilled professional will ensure you hit all the marks the first time.

Professional

Many of our clients have been working for more than three years and are in Manager-level or Director-level positions. Their résumé ends up in a “stack” of résumés, so the reader likely spends 8 – 10 seconds in the initial review of the résumé. The key here is to define your objective simply, but not too narrowly. (We don’t want to eliminate the positions for which you may also qualify.) In addition we use buzzwords to catch the reader’s attention in 10 seconds, so the reader will spend 3-5 minutes reading your résumé.

Student

We have a format designed for that recent or soon-to-be graduate who has primarily worked only Summer Jobs and Internships. A recent college graduate needs a representative document to prepare for the job search also.

With industry writers telling us that “recruiters start their searches on LinkedIn over 90% of the time. You need a presence on LinkedIn, it allows you to maintain a professional online brand. But it shouldn’t look like a résumé, implying you’re always looking for a job. It should be more casual and narrative, where a résumé is intended to be formal.

Cover Letter

Today these are inserted into the cover of an email to which you will attach your résumé. The term “Cover Letter” refers to the days that we used snail mail to send our résumés to the employer. Of course, today everything is done online, whether by email or “cut and paste” into the employer’s job site. We prepare this document for you with the idea that it conveys a quick, personal, but concise idea regarding why you are attaching your résumé and your qualifications. You will customize it for each situation. A cover letter is a courtesy… without it you will not be making a favorable impression.

Consultation

Some of our clients believe that the résumé they have already prepared will represent them well, but they feel they would like to get the opinion of a “Professional Résumé Writer.” In that case we offer our services on an hourly basis to discuss your résumé needs and format so that you can possibly revise your résumé to make it more effective.

Our Resume Writing Process

We work from your relatively recent résumé. If you don’t have a résumé to submit to us that is less than 2 years old, you will need to fill out the form located here and forward it to us. We will discuss your specific situation and your goals. We work only by appointment, so please contact us (678-443-2150) to set up a mutually convenient time for that appointment. Once scheduled, the interview will take approximately 45 minutes by phone. (Our pricing is based on this time. Additional time will be subject to added costs.) Our turnaround time is approximately 5 business days. Please allow for this when making an appointment. We will send you a draft copy of your résumé at that time and ask for your feedback. Then we will collaboratively make required adjustments. You should have your final copy very shortly after that. We will email the final version to you in Microsoft Word format.
