Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need a targeted resume?
A targeted resume tells your future employer you understand exactly what he or she is looking for and how you can fill his or her need. By listing the skills and experience specific to the field and position, you communicate that you are qualified to take on the responsibilities of the position. This will make you stand out as a prepared, professional candidate from candidates who submit general resumes with a generic listing of skills.

Why do I need a cover letter?
While your resume summarizes your skills and experience in an easy-to-read format, your cover letter is a sales document that allows you to expand on accomplishments and unique characteristics. The cover letter is valuable sales space used to catch your employer’s attention and set you apart from other candidates.

If I have a resume, do I need to complete a questionnaire?
If you currently have a resume we can use that information to write your new resume. However, the questionnaire helps us quickly collect extra information such as specific details about your work history, awards and accomplishments, military service, and education to complete your resume.

What kind of resume formats and graphics do you offer?
We provide clean, professional resume formats that make your strongest attributes stand out. For clients involved in creative professions such as web designers or graphic artists, we structure your resume around the designs and graphics that distinguish you in your field. However, for all other clients we recommend using standard professional fonts and eliminating graphics that can be a distraction and draw attention away from your talents and expertise.
