Many job seekers in North Carolina's Research Triangle Park area now hire professional resume writers to help them create and fine-tune their resumes. Without that professional edge, you could be at a real disadvantage in today's competitive job-hunting market.
I'm a resume writer based in Raleigh - Durham, NC and I specialize in writing resumes that hit the mark, resumes that stand out from the crowd, resumes that get interviews.
Fact is, the average ratio of job applicants to open positions is 12 to 1. With piles of resumes to choose from, today's recruiters can afford to be selective. You've heard the story: An otherwise qualified candidate is passed over because of a typo on his resume. I know a number of hiring managers and recruiters and they tell me they've got so many resumes to plow through, they're just looking for a reason to toss yours into the trash.
Take a look at these sample resumes...
There's nothing more gratifying than an excited phone call from a client who says, "I start next Monday! Thanks again for all your help!" Simply put, I enjoy helping people land the jobs they're after. And I can help you, too.
I have worked on hundreds of resumes—I even taught a class on resumes at NC State University. I have a Master's degree in Technical Communication and have been a professional writer since 1998.
Don't Make These Mistakes
Pay one of the big Internet job boards for their resume writing services and chances are you'll end up with:
- A cookie-cutter resume indistinguishable from thousands of others
- Templated formatting (and even wording!) that recruiters and hiring managers recognize outright
- A resume that undersells the unique experience and skills you bring to a job
- Content that's too general and that doesn't target a specific job description
- A forgettable resume that quickly ends up on the bottom of the stack
Go it alone and you risk making these mistakes:
- Including vague and generalized content
- Failing to target a specific job description
- Providing irrelevant or overly-detailed particulars of previous job responsibilities
- Failing to quantify your successes and achievements
- Inflating and exaggerating facts
- Getting too "creative" with your presentation and format
- Attracting the wrong kind of attention
Instead, invest a bit more and work with a qualified resume writer. The difference is dramatic!

Hiring a Pro Pays for Itself
When you spring for the extra expense of a professional resume writer, it's money well spent. It's an investment. It's a value-add with a guaranteed ROI.
In exchange for the up-front cost of hiring a pro, you could:

Your resume will present you effectively and professionally. It'll set you apart from other job seekers. It'll persuade the hiring manager or recruiter that you should definitely be on the "To Be Interviewed" list.
Because, as all job seekers know, the bottom line is: An effective resume gets you an interview. And an interview gets you one step closer to landing a job.
The Beauty of a Flawless Resume
Your resume must be flawless—strategically focused, visually appealing, and absolutely error-free—if it's going to make it to the top of the stack and land you that all-important interview.

Cover Letter Help
"What about the cover letter?" you ask. Great question.
I can write your cover letters as well. Yes, I said "letters." I think that each job for which you are applying deserves its own tailored letter. Why? In order for your cover letter to be attention-grabbing and effective, it needs to address the specifics of the available job while making the case that you are the right person to fill that job opening.
When you call 919-779-1707 or write me, we can discuss about how many cover letter variations you're going to need for the various jobs you're planning to apply for. And, of course, you'll have editable versions of your cover letters so that you can make future tweaks on your own. Ready to get started?
