FAQ

Q: What differentiates Resume Writers’ Ink from other resume writing services?

A: I am the only U.S. Professional Resume Writer who is certified by Lominger/Korn Ferry. I am certified to assess your CORE COMPETENCIES which are accurately displayed on your resume. If you read a job description carefully, many companies are now listing COMPETENCIES as requirements. If competencies are not listed, you are still being assessed for them in the interview process. The competencies that I am certified to evaluate are recognized world-wide. Recruiters, hiring managers, and CEO’s screen candidates for competencies which target behaviors necessary to perform the position.

My background in world-class organizations where BRAND EXCELLENCE is #1 is the second differentiator that I offer. Hands-on practical experience with Fortune 100 companies is woven into each resume for world class resume results.

Having worked as a recruiter for 10+ years, I have a solid understanding of matching top talent with top level positions.

Q: Why do I need a brand?

A: Business is competitive. Having basic skills is no longer enough to separate yourself from the competition. By branding YOU, you will boast a glimpse into your natural talents, skills, key accomplishments, and data that will improve all of the pertinent information for obtaining interviews, job offers, and an increased salary. Recruiters, headhunters, hiring managers, and CEO’s prefer eye catching, credible, visually engaging resumes. I know how to weave your brand into a customized document that represents you with all of your successes!! Branding is professional and reflects YOU as such.

Q: Why have a targeted resume?

A: Having a targeted resume will focus you on a line of business which will help you get closer to achieving your goal. Resumes that are general get overlooked or discarded, by the recruiter because it appears that the candidate is fishing for something vs. focusing on a goal. Hiring managers want to hire a person who is focused.

Q: Is a cover letter necessary?

A: It really depends on various factors. If you are mailing your resume to a company for a specific position, yes, a cover letter is necessary. Many online resume submissions ask for your resume only. Having a resume that is scannable is the best choice to be attached via a computer submission. I discuss the various options available during our strategy session if you choose to purchase a package.

Q: Why pay for a resume when I can write it myself?

A: Strategy…strategy…strategy. The bar has been raised on resumes and hiring leaders are greatly aware. The result…you sell yourself short.
