Default Resume Writing Services

Hi all,

I am looking at making some different changes in 2019 and get back into the corporate workforce , specifically in my previous field of banking, finance, investment etc. I am currently self employed and working with family business.

It's been a while since I was in the business (late 2014) and I think the expertise of a resume writer may be in order to assist. Does anyone have any experience with them? Can anybody recommend somebody?

Mods: If this post belong somewhere like the ongoing job searchers thread, please go ahead and move it.

Good luck in your career change!

Honestly I think this would be a waste of money. As an ex-management consultant, I have reviewed, and written many resumes over the years (we would tailor project experience to the project we were pitching for). A couple of basic principles I'd suggest:

Show attention to detail and rigor
- Keep it pithy readable: no longer than 2 pages, and lots of white space
- Make sure it's well formatted: Font, bullets, and paragraphs all uniform

No job is the same
- Take a good look at the job requirements, culture, and mission of the organization and tailor your resume accordingly. Use similar language to what they use, and highlight your attributes and experience as it most closely relates to what they need. Show you're a safe pair of hands. I'd argue that you should have a slightly different resume for each application. Don't lie though...

Happy to review a copy if you'd find it helpful.

All the best.
