What is a Strategic Resume?
A Strategic Resume is a customized resume designed and written just
for you. It focuses on your skills, abilities, and accomplishments
in order to effectively market your value to a prospective employer.

customized resume writing service, and you simply arrange a personal
telephone interview with one of our writers on our toll-free line

be based upon the initial fax or e-mail you send us, along with
notes we take while discuss in the toll-free resume interview session,
as well as the experience we have gained from writing resumes for
literally every field. For a telephone interview appointment, or
simply for information, call us now at our toll-free hotline.

Who orders Strategic Resumes?
Custom-written
Strategic Resumes are most often ordered by those at the middle
and top ends of the skill level scale. In a recent survey, The breakdown
generally follows this pattern: Executive-8%, Management-36%, Professional/Technical-31%,
Mid-Level and Administrative-12%, and Students / Entry-Level-13%.
Apparently, the people who are used to getting results and delegating
important tasks recognize the value of having a professional writer
prepare their resume!

I have always heard that a one-page resume is best, is that true?
For many years, the one-page resume was considered ideal for most
positions. Candidates were instructed to "keep it to one page,
as long as you are reasonably qualified, you will get an interview."
However, with the recent downsizing of most corporations (drastically
affecting HR & Personnel departments), there is no longer the
time nor the staffing available to conduct dozens of interviews
for each opening. The additional one minute or less required to
review a detailed, accomplishment-based resume is now seen as far
more efficient than the timely and costly process of contacting
and arranging job interviews for candidates with abbreviated documentation.
There are literally hundreds of recent articles by the leading HR,
recruitment, and employment experts throughout the nation who now
catagorically and routinely state that the era of the 1-page resume
is dead, except for lower-level and truly entry-level positions.

Why would StrategicResumes.com cost more than typesetting resume
packages?
Although Strategic Resumes cost up to 50% less than those at many
national and local resume writing services, they do, of course,
cost more than those at resume typing services. Even many of the
so-called resume writing services are actually little more than
glorified typing and formatting services that mostly rely on forms
that you must fill out, they generally do not have Certified Resume
Writers on staff, they quite often use a 'cookie-cutter' approach,
and they do not take each order as a challenge to create a unique
document that will command attention.
Of course, they may change a few words and try to
make the resume look spiffy, but there is very little in the way
of a creative writing process. By contrast, your writer at StrategicResumes.com
will offer creative writing services with no forms for you to fill
out, conduct a personal toll-free telephone interview with you at
a convenient time (usually 15-20 minutes in total length), and dramatically
reword, reposition, and refocus your qualifications for the targeted
areas you are seeking.
Our
30-Day Free Revisions and Full Moneyback Guarantee are virtually
unique in the industry, and our customer service is the best in
the business. When you order a Strategic Resume, you will speak
directly with a writer after faxing or e-mailing your basic information,
by phoning our toll-free hotline. The information we receive by
speaking with you allows us to effectively highlight your skills
and abilities in a way that you most likely hadn't imagined.

of all information. However, if the timing of your order is urgent,

EST, your new resume can be ready for you to proof the next business

How do I get my Strategic Resume updated or changed after the 30-day
free change period?
Our StrategicResumes.com Writing Office will store your resume electronically, so you can get updates or changes whenever you wish. Just place your updating order by calling our Central Writing Office on the toll-free hotline (1-800-700-9748). The modest prices for updating or changing your resume after 30-days depend upon the length and complexity of the changes requested.

Why do you use the Microsoft Word format for your resumes?
Over 9 out of 10 corporate and business offices now use Microsoft
Word, making it the word processing software of choice in the business
world. Microsoft Word files can be easily attached to email messages,
converted into text files, or reformatted for required scannable
purposes. Despite any information to the contrary, OCR (optical
character recognition) software used for scanning resumes has improved
dramatically within the past 5 years and can now handle Microsoft
Word formats with ease, including bolding, underlining, italics,
and bulleting.

What if I'm not happy with my Strategic Resume?
StrategicResumes.com is one of the only resume writing services
in the nation that gives every customer a full 30 days of free revisions
and a full moneyback guarantee. Here's how it works… Once
you have received your initial draft, simply call the toll-free
number to get any revisions you wish. You have a full 30 days to
do this, and we are happy to do any and all revisions you request.
Our goal is to literally make you more than just happy, our goal
is to create a resume that will make you enthusiastic about our
service, and recommend it to others.
StrategicResumes.com places no national advertising and
totally depends upon referrals to generate most of its business.
If, after revisions, rewriting, and any other changes you request,
you are still unhappy for any reason, we will return your full purchase
price. There are no complicated forms to request this… a simple
phone call will do! Most other resume firms state a guarantee that
they will rewrite your resume for free! but do not go the further
step, as we do, of offering a full refund.
If
you think about it, what good is 'rewriting your resume for free'
if the people writing it aren't capable of writing a good product
in the first place?

Do Strategic Resumes really get results?
Thousands of customers have called our writers to thank them for
preparing job-winning resumes. Recruiters and HR directors continue
to refer those candidates to us that they would like to place, but
whose resumes simply don't do the job. Our staff has attended conferences,
seminars, and workshops throughout the U.S., all have college degrees,
and we are regularly invited to major job fairs to conduct resume
critiques. In addition, our service has been recommended by nationally-acclaimed
authors and publications.
Until
the introduction of StrategicResumes.com, job seekers were often
faced with seriously unprofessional services, quick 'cookie-cutter'
typesetting outfits, less-than-qualified practitioners working out
of their homes, or overpriced professional firms charging as much
as 100% more. When our customers say, "They told me I was chosen
for the interview because my resume was the best one they received,"
when you consider that we have a database of over 10,000 resumes
written by our staff for virtually every profession in nearly every
state across the country, and when you add the fact that we are
one of the only resume writing services that gives every customer
a full 30 days of free revisions and a full moneyback guarantee,
you can understand how we have emerged as the preeminent resume
service in the U.S.
