Resume Writing

Did you know...

• An "average" advertised job opening typically receives 500+ responses
• An attractive job listing may receive 1000 resumes
• About 4-10 people will be interviewed
• You may need several versions of your resume for e-mailing, posting, and networking
• Often a great resume can create a job where there was none

A well-crafted resume is a door-opener, a reflection of your ability to focus and communicate. It needs a compelling and distinct format to stand out from the crowd. An effective resume is future-oriented, easy to read and scan. It immediately communicates your value to a potential employer, what you can contribute, and highlights your strengths and accomplishments . I will make your resume the best it can be:

• Immediate, clear and focused
• Compelling and unique
• Attention-getting and convincing

My approach to customized and personalized resume-writing includes:

• A collaborative effort to determine your future goals and objectives, your accomplishments, background and transferable skills
• A comprehensive questionnaire to draw out information critical to creating a unique and impactful resume
• An opportunity to clarify your career direction, and focus on issues important for interviewing well

“Linsey's process included guiding me through an honest examination of the effects that any career change I might make would have on my spouse, my children and our lifestyle. This was important in my case because, while I might be willing to risk making a major change, I was unwilling to jeopardize my first priority - my family. (There IS such a thing as the right idea at the wrong time!)”

Now my Resume is stronger than it's ever been. It not only reflects my work experience but my life experience as well. It conveys not only what I can do for an organization but gives prospective employers a clear sense of what I'm truly seeking. And, best of all, I'm landing interviews for jobs I might really want to have!”

“As an HR professional, I resisted having a professional redo my resume. I thought it was fine just the way it was. After meeting Linsey at an ExecuNet meeting and developing a relationship with her, I agreed to let her re-work my resume. She did a fabulous job! My skills and value jump off the document. It helped   dramatically increase the number of calls I receive about my candidacy. I wasted at least 6 months in the process. So well worth the investment!”

“I just wanted to share some good news with you.  After meeting with you and you re-doing my resume, I immediately got a consulting job in addition to my regular job.  I put out just a few 'feelers' and did get results.

However, last month at my annual professional meeting in San Francisco, I saw a job posting which I pursued - and ended up getting! It means a 60% increase in salary! My new job will be as Vice President and Director of Continuing Medical Education at... in CT. Again thank you for all your help.”
