Why hire a Resume or LinkedIn writer?
Job seekers are 40% more likely to get noticed with a professionally written resume, but most candidates don’t even think to hire a professional writer.
“It’s very difficult to be objective when you’re talking about your own life, and no one searches for a job often enough to understand the nuances. It’s better to have an objective person who knows the right terminology.” – Amanda Augustine, job search expert for TheLadders, article in Forbes.com
Because resumes are so often filtered first by software programs (ATS – Applicant tracking systems), without the right keywords, your resume may never even reach a human. Hiring a professional is pricey, but Amanda believes it’s absolutely worth it.
