There are only a few Certified High Performance Resume Writers out there like me; most resume writers today only do this part-time or they focus on typing or high-volume production. I am a Christian Soldier in the war on poverty.

Here is why my writing is different, better and unique: I will help you earn a higher starting salary and multiple job offers because we focus on helping you get hired quick and building your value rather than merely typing documents. All clients benefit from a personal interview/brainstorming session because having the right information in your resume is absolutely essential.

Naturally, this interview will be a great help in preparing you for employment interviews, and it is essential to create distinctive documents. As a Certified High Performance Resume Writer, I am uniquely able to help you achieve your individual goals. The Fortune 500 hires my clients! Over the last five years, 95% of my clients that actively search are hired within 90 days.

You will notice why I am already famous for producing ideal results when you hear my expert advice! After a decade of experience as a successful Hiring Manager and Recruiter (I worked in Mortgage/Finance, Advertising, Sales, Marketing and Specialty Retail), I know exactly what employers want to see in resume and candidate. I know how to extract the vital info employers want in my investigative interview with you. My entire 28 career has always been in the Sales and Marketing field as a Sales and Marketing Manager, Sales Consultant or Copywriter (Sales and Advertising Writer). This means I can sell you better on paper than anyone else can (essential). With all my experience as a Hiring Manager, Copywriter and Resume Writer, I already know how to solve all your biggest job search challenges.

Obviously, these are top secret, so I cannot talk or write about them although you will see the results. I focus on building your value throughout the resume, so you will earn a higher salary (rare). Most people simply do not know or understand that every hiring manager has a discretionary starting salary range of 18-22% for most professionals. Notice that my affordable prices here are all less than 1% of your annual salary and benefits package. Now, that is serious value. During our interview, I often identify new lucrative areas of opportunity for my clients that they had not thought about previously. The interview is how I unlock your value and get to know you.

Amazing Résumé Writing Advice Employers Want You to Know
By Darrell DiZoglio, CPRW Copyright 2/4/2012 all rights reserved.
1. We always prefer passive (employed) candidates because they normally
workout better. It has been our experience that unemployed people we hire
often leave shortly afterward due to finding a better opportunity, more
appropriate work, better benefits or higher pay. Passive candidates really want
to work for us. We know this because they are dealing from a position of
strength when they are hired and negotiate their salary. This is a fact, we
simply cannot admit to publicly per the legal department. Employee turnover
expense is a huge drain on our bottom line.
2. Clear signs of outstanding performance, passion and contributions show us
you are a better candidate on paper. Please, stop telling us too much about
your responsibilities.
3. We are always looking for management bench strength, so when we earn a
promotion we have you ready to step into our old position.
4. Average to above average will not get you noticed, it should be a sample
of your finest work. Especially now when career opportunities are rare.
5. "Résumé Creation Software" is essentially the same as copying a random
person's work. The low quality writing, canned phrases/clichés and generic
nature of the result all show you did not care enough to distinguish yourself.
6. Effective verbal and written communication skills are requirements in business.
We have to make judgments based on them when we review resumes and try
to hire you.
7. We respect professionally written résumés because it shows us that you have
enough desire to invest your own money to separate yourself from the others
in contention (more distinctive documents rock my world).
8. Education and experience are both important on your résumé! Name brand
education is not as impressive anymore thanks to the popularity distance
learning via the Internet. Still, your expertise is often a deciding factor.
9. Industry specific experience trumps unrelated experience every time.
10. We ignore or delete the 92% of résumés and cover letters that do not meet our
standards for quality, readability or relevancy.
11. We know all the names of the Degree Mills that print out fake college and
university credentials. We know how to verify your employment, run checks on
your references, credit and background. We can recognize deception in
interviews when we hear it.
12. We have some flexibility on the requirements in our job postings, but not as
much as you might think because almost all hiring managers have one or
more supervisors to take orders from.
13. Continuing education shows that us you are dedicated, forward thinking and
are willing to invest in your career with us. It must show on your résumé
because technology is evolving faster now.
14. Once your résumé and cover letter is submitted, it goes into our database. If it
does not contain the right keywords in it, it will likely never be seen by human
eyeballs. The solution is to customize your résumé to each career opportunity
you are pursuing.
15. We respect loyalty to employers tremendously. We admire community service
and volunteer work because actions speak louder than words.
16. We do not want to ever see your picture on your resume unless you are acting,
modeling or working on a television show as a professional.
17. If you want to change careers, we would be more agreeable, if you had six
months worth of service as an intern or apprentice first. We want to know you
will be happy with us for the long-term.
18. We prefer to hire local candidates, if humanly possible. Relocation expenses
are outrageous and we find that more than 50% of those that agree to relocate
for work fail to show up (decided against relocating or recruited elsewhere).
19. The best chance for you to earn an increase in your annual compensation is when
you are being hired.
