Resume builders are software specifically designed to help anyone create a well-formatted resume by asking you basic personal questions and converting your answers into a professional resume. Builders come in all shapes and sizes. Some of them are free and some of them require a fee. Some builders are quick and easy while others may require a bit more skill. There are enough options out there that you are certain to find the resume builder that is right for you.
I‘ve been asked a number of times for a resume overnight or for ”discounts” on quoted services because they have only budgeted X amount of dollars. First of all, the better your resume, the more opportunities you will receive...and there is no way a writer can ”throw something together” without taking the time to learn a great deal about you! If a service promises overnight work, you have to ask yourself why? If they are that readily available, then they aren‘t a very busy practice - probably for a reason. Most quality services offer a several day turnaround time and the writer typically spends several hours on each project. A quality, working resume can‘t be rushed if it‘s done right (and beware of any service who can ”fit you in” in a day. Good writers are busy for a reason).
There are certain components of a resume that are absolutely necessary to include. The first and one of the most important components of your resume, which we will explore here is, ”Targeted Key Words.” Without these, your chances of having your resume actually read are slim to none. In this case, it doesn‘t matter what skills or experience you have, your resume could quite possibly end up in the trash.
Looking to make a transition? The competition for mid level attorney positions can be challenging, and candidates who obtain interviews are typically those with the most impressive professional legal resume and professional legal cover letter. You need a well-crafted attorney resume that effectively synthesizes your years of legal experience, skills, and work history to convince the most selective employers that you are the right candidate for the position. To obtain the competitive advantage you need, it is best to use a professional resume writer to craft your legal resume. A professional legal resume writer can create an attorney resume and cover letter package that will truly set you apart.
Scanning for keywords is not used by 100% of employers, however, a very high percentage of them do use this technique. Think about it for a second. They will sometimes receive 100‘s and possibly thousands of resumes for various positions being offered. It would take way to much time for each and every resume to be read through. In some cases, companies even use software which scans resumes for keywords. If these targeted key words are not found, well, in computer terms...delete, delete, delete.
Following that train of thought, I have always believed that you should have a number of different resumes prepared. In a previous article, I talked about having the wherewithal to adapt one‘s elevator speech to the situation one finds him or herself in. Likewise, the cover letter and resume you send should be tailored to the needs of the person receiving it.
