WHAT IS A RESUME?
An effective resume is a marketing tool that shows a prospective employer that you have the ability to meet his needs or solve her problems. It’s much more than just a list of your past experience, employment, and education. It should contain a strategy that will make the employer want to call you in for an interview. Most resumes being used today don't even come close to effectively marketing the job seeker's skills. A professionally prepared resume will have you on your way toward getting those interviews.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET A COMPLETED RESUME?
Some can be completed in a matter of hours. People often need their resume "right now". I recognize that need and will do my best to deliver yours as soon as possible. Delivery time will be discussed with you in advance. There's no need for you to travel. The whole process is done conveniently via telephone, e-mail, regular mail or fax.

HOW MUCH WILL IT COST?
First, our prices are reasonable and competitive. Prices vary, depending on your job objectives and employment background. A price will be quoted prior to your signing an agreement.

WHAT IS A “CERTIFIED PROFESSIONAL RESUME WRITER”?
The “CPRW” designation establishes that a writer has met industry standards for meeting client strategic goals and has mastered the craft of resume preparation, using the most current information and techniques. You can read more about certification at the Professional Association of Resume Writers and Career Coaches' web site at www.parw.com

WON'T YOUR CERTIFICATION MEAN THAT I’LL PAY MORE?
No. Certification serves to reinforce my writing ability, resulting in a strong and effective presentation of your skills. Furthermore, it assures you that we are up-to-date and in touch with current resume trends.
