Connecting With Human Resources
A summary statement contains an overview of your achievements that align with the job description. After we complete the summary statement, the next writing guideline focuses on placing keywords within the body of the resume. Professional resume writers provide human resources with a comprehensive list of motivations that are placed within the resume.
Companies use an applicant tracking system (ATS) to screen applicants. This program collects, sorts, scans and ranks applicants by looking for keywords relevant to the position. Our writers accurately describe why applicants are qualified for the position by putting precise keywords within your resume. Your summary statement provides the first opportunity to list keywords on your professional resume.
The Art and Science of Resume Writing
Writers use proven communication techniques to create an excellent personality profile of the applicant. To create the best profile, writers must have an excellent command of syntax and sentence structure. Our writers avoid convoluted sentences that make the resume difficult to understand. We value brevity and accuracy.
We do not use 10 words when five words will deliver communications that are just as strong. We do not use convoluted sentences when concise and straightforward language will get the message across. Furthermore, succinct and direct communications appeal to the preferences of busy human resources representatives. We win their favor by delivering a document that meets their specifications.
Once a first draft of the resume has been completed, the our resume writer proofreads subject matter to ensure that every word counts. Our writers attain clarity and precision by using the most appropriate tone of voice and by implementing the best active verbs that make your resume stand out.
We eliminate unnecessary words, deliver clear messages, and ensure factual accuracy by conducting in-depth research. Our resume writers have mastered these communication techniques and this leads to the creation of the best possible resume that leads to multiple interviews.
The Essentials of Resume Services
A value proposition demonstrates the worth that you would bring to the job. Our best resume service communicates how you will improve workplace results by describing your ability to increase metrics that directly impact the bottom line. This insight further establishes you as a self-starter who desires to make a difference in the workplace.
For example, a persuasive value proposition claims that the applicant can increase marketing conversions by 14% within four months. The applicant acknowledges that he achieved this benchmark when working for his previous employer. Our resume preparation service combines value propositions and branding statements in order to develop comprehensive coverage of the skillset offered by the applicant.
The Fundamentals of Hard Skills and Soft Skills
Resume writers brand your accomplishments that surpass the accomplishments of the competition. If you received a bachelor's degree in computer programming and you also received certification in analytics from a search engine organization such as Google, you would be better positioned for the job than other applicants who only have a bachelors degree.
Diplomas and certifications are hard skills. These valuable skills address competencies that are learned within a university, trade school or certification program. Hard skills include copywriting, project management, and automotive repairs. A certificate from Google will provide you with the capabilities to understand keywords, search engine algorithms, consumer psychology, and more.
Soft skills address non-technical capabilities. These skills are primarily developed on the job and they include empathy, collaboration and adaptability. Soft skills are also called interpersonal skills. A significant majority of employers say that soft skills matter as much or even more than some hard skills and, to address this issue, our writers create a balance between hard skills and soft skills.
We tend to focus on hard skills and accomplishments that stem from these measurable achievements. Hard skills are the foundation that serves as an entry point into the workplace. For example, if someone wants to be an architect, they would need to go to university to receive a diploma. Hard skills ensure human resources that you have the fundamental skills to complete assignments.
Adaptability - Flexing Your Soft Skills
Consider an architect who could not understand the needs of the foreman because the foreman uses slang that includes "subbie" and "punch list" and more. A foreman might say, "I enjoy pouring slabs. I get slab happy every time!" Successful communicators acknowledge communication preferences of target audiences, and they adapt their communication style in order to develop productive relationships. This demonstrates the adaptability of a soft skill.
When speaking with this foreman, the architect would use casual language; however, when communicating with the general contractor, he would use formal language. We would brand the architect as someone who posses adaptability when interacting with target audiences. This allows people to create relationships with a wide range of communicators, and these interactions motivate teams to obtain their objectives.
How We Help You Surpass the Competition
There are professional writing techniques that deliver singular results for every employment opportunity. All resume writers can describe your accomplishments, but our resume service lets the hiring manager know how you will perform as an employee because we demonstrate your comprehensive accomplishments with branding statements, value propositions, effective keywords, and hard and soft skills.
Quantitative and Qualitative Indicators
We give phrases value by describing them as a quantity or a quality. Quantitative results provide numerical insights to your achievements. If you work as an automotive salesperson, there are numerous Key Point Indicators (KPI) that measure your optimal skills and your deficiencies. One KPI stresses the importance of following up on new leads in a timely manner.
If a salesperson waits too long to follow-up with the customer, the chances are good that the customer will take his or her business to another dealership. This KPI is called Response Time. Because this is an important KPI, it should be prominently featured on your resume. This could be included in the summary section as a customer service indicator. The sooner that a salesperson responds to a lead, the greater the opportunity to close the deal.
Qualitative results provide insights regarding the quality of some interaction with customers. If you sell health insurance through cold calls, quality assurance will analyze the language used by the representative to persuade the customer to make a purchase. The representative must quickly establish a rapport with the customer by demonstrating his or her knowledge of particular products and services that are relevant to the customer. These communications must be of top-quality.
The Importance of Numerical Information
Resume writers communicate quantitative information. All employers use quantitative analyses to measure the effectiveness of policies and procedures. If you work in a call center as a customer service representative, the company uses quantitative information to determine your effectiveness when communicating policies to consumers. If your talk time is low, we would include this statistic in your resume because this achievement demonstrates your knowledge of two key motivators - compliance and goal orientation.
Closing the Deal With a Customized Cover Letter
We also offer a professional cover letter writing service. After we complete our resume, the next step is to create a cover letter. This is your chance to further market your skills. A common error is to submit a cover letter that simply lists your positive characteristics. However, to be competitive for a job, the applicant must succinctly demonstrate his or her traits that are specific to the position. This is another facet of customizing and personal branding.
When creating your cover letter, keep in mind that hiring managers have deadlines that they need to attain. Why is this important? You do not want your cover letter to contain information that you already covered in your resume. Duplicate information. Avoid it. What should you include in your cover letter? Include content that is unique to your personality profile. Consider creating a personal mission statement.
Your mission statement should contain insights that are unique to your profile. Let human resources know your values. Provide them with specific examples where you fulfilled your mission statement. What are you passionate about? What gives you gratification? Does fighting poverty provide you with a sense of achievement? You should associate your personal mission statement with your career goals.
What Looks Good on a Resume?
If you are seeking work as a print journalist, you can have a side gig writing blog content for an organization that fights poverty and all of the problems that coexist with impoverishment such as chronic stress and high mortality rates. Explain your belief that homelessness impacts impoverished people. You acknowledge the relationship between homelessness and the inability to be self-sufficient.
You believe that the ultimate cause of poverty stems from psychological disorders. You write blog articles that inform website visitors about the devastating effects of mental problems and their statistical correlation with homelessness. You can tell human resources that you plan to build a website that addresses the needs of homeless people.
You can further specify that you want to help homeless military veterans find housing. This acknowledgement will give human resources tremendous insight to your values. You have created a selling proposition that is as distinct as a fingerprint. Use even more selling propositions to create a transparent social agenda.
There are other options for aligning your motivations with the core values of the organization. You can find this information within the vision and mission statements of the organization. This information will be lean with some organizations. They do not place a premium on vision and mission statements to the degree of a corporation such as Johnson & Johnson. This inspiring credo demonstrates the company culture. Employees apply their skills within a purpose-driven culture.
The Importance of Credos
"We believe our first responsibility is to the patients, doctors and nurses, to mothers and fathers and all others who use our products and services. In meeting their needs, everything we do must be of high quality. We must constantly strive to provide value, reduce our costs and maintain reasonable prices. Customers' orders must be serviced promptly and accurately. Our business partners must have an opportunity to make a fair profit."
This quotation comes from the Johnson & Johnson corporate credo. If you were seeking employment with Johnson & Johnson, it would be in your best interest to adopt their purpose-driven culture. Johnson & Johnson issued their credo in 1943, and the organization has adhered to their standards for more than eighty years.
