How Our Schools Create Corporate Drones
We are all brainwashed and trained at an early age by parents,
teachers, and society to believe that getting a job is what we
are supposed to do. Maybe this was a good thing to do in the
50s, 60s, and even 70s. I'm not sure.
But things...

What Does Your Resume Cost?
So you were thinking you might write your own resume?
That's okay, if the following applies to you:
* You are an excellent writer.
* You are adept in grammar and spelling rules.
* You have a solid understanding of the telegraphic writing
style (which eliminates the use of personal pronouns, such as
"I" and "me" and articles such as "the" and "a").
* You are an expert MS Word user.
* You keep up to date on industry trends. * You are
knowledgeable of resume layout and design.
* You know what information is relevant on a resume.
* You know what information is NOT relevant on a resume.
* You can devote several days to the resume writing process
(research, preparation, writing, and editing).
Many people find they do not have the time or resources to write
a professional resume that will get them results. You might also
realize along the way (like many do) that hiring a professional
resume writer will actually SAVE you money!
How you ask?
Imagine you have recently become unemployed and your previous
salary was $34,000 annually and you are looking to remain at the
same salary. Every week of unemployment equates to losing
$653.85 in potential wages.
The average out-of-work American is unemployed for 18 weeks. So
using the assumed $34,000 annual salary, you
could lose
$11,769.30 in potential wages.
On the other hand, people that have utilized my professional
resume writing services have reported getting hired on average
within 5 weeks.
That's a savings of over $8,500!!
Here's an analogy for you.
I can change the tires or the oil on my car. However, I would
need to devote a lot of time and effort into learning how to
replace my transmission. A mechanic on the other hand could have
it done in a day or two because they have the tools, knowledge
and resources necessary to get it done properly.
Since I am not a mechanic, not only will it take me well over a
week, but I may not even do it correctly (and consequently cost
myself even more time and money).
So the next time you think it's too expensive to have a resume
professionally written, you need to ask yourself, "What does
your resume cost".
