Not sure if a resume critique is right for you? Here are 5 questions we ask clients when they reach out for our services. Often the answers to these questions can help us decide if a resume critique, resume creation, or another option would be the most beneficial.
1.) Do You Have a Resume? Does it Include Your Current Role?
Obviously, if you don't have a resume, we can't provide you a critique. For clients in this situation, a resume creation is needed.
What if you have a resume, but it is quite old? That may be okay, as long as it contains your most recent role. If it does not have your current job, you may want to consider adding content before submitting for a critique. Or, you may be better assisted by our resume creation service. We can both update your historical information and add in your recent job qualifications and highlights with a resume creation.
We find the best candidates for a critique are those that have recently created or updated their resume. They have all of the important information included, and benefit from a professional taking a detailed look, providing tips for areas to improve.
2.) Do You Think You Have a Solid Resume but You Aren't Getting any Interviews?
You may find a resume critique beneficial if you have been in the job market for awhile but don't seem to get called for interviews. It can be hard to identify and correct errors on your own resume, so you may benefit from having an "outsider" take a close look. Laura and Carrie at Revision Resume will spot any grammatical or spelling errors you may not have noticed. We can also suggest formatting updates to improve the readability of your resume, making it more eye catching for a hiring manager.
3.) Struggling to Determine What to Include on Your Resume?
We often find that job seekers try to incorporate every aspect of their history on their resume. This can make for a dense, unfocused document. Using our experience and expertise, we can guide you appropriately, pointing out which aspects are irrelevant for your career goals. Finding the right balance is vital. For example, we will let you know if your volunteer roles should be included, and how far back to list your in work experience.
4.) Unfamiliar with the Latest Resume Standards?
Should your resume include an objective statement? Where do references fit in? Can you have charts and graphs to show your successes? If you are asking these questions, you may not be aware of the current resume standards. Revision Resume knows the current resume guidelines and can help you figure out how to refine your resume appropriately.
