Marvelle Élina March 1, 2021 Resume
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).
The word resume comes from the French language and is defined as ”use of past participle of resumer to resume, sum up”. Therefore it is the purpose of a resume to summarize your experience, knowledge, skills and accomplishments. In the spirit of summarisation, it is therefore, important that your resume is from 1 to 3 pages long. Don‘t be tempted to make your resume any longer than this, even if you have a lot to tell, after all you certainly don‘t want to bore the reader.
It is not uncommon for the job hunter to mistakenly assume that the potential employer is easily able to sort the highly qualified from the less qualified job applicants. When you consider that you will be competing with hundreds, possibly thousands of other job seekers, you will appreciate that your chances of being successful are significantly reduced. Then when you take into account that your potential employer is likely to have a ‘screening‘ process in which the goal is to reject as many applicants as possible before actually looking to see who might be suitable, you are sure to realise that you really do need to do something that makes you stand out.
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.
Just starting out your legal career? Whether you are searching for a summer associate or entry-level attorney position, your legal resume and cover letter should set you apart in a job pool filled with candidates with similar backgrounds. Even if you only have internship experience, a well-crafted legal resume can impress a hiring manager with evidence of your commitment and strength of character. A professional resume writer that specializes in legal and attorneys resumes can work with you to translate your work, internship, and educational experience into a legal resume that will get you noticed.
Whereas, in the latter type of writing services i.e. professional writing companies, they produce the resume according to the information given to them by the candidate. Normally they personally contact the candidate to get the required data and sometimes they just hand them the questionnaires. These required data may include the qualification of the candidate, objective or career aim, past experiences and accomplishments and responsibilities. Explicit and precise information of the candidate assists the writers in crafting a perfect and professional resume.
