Hiring A Resume Writer/Resume Writers Atlanta Area - Jimmy Hall

At some point and time almost everyone needs a resume; and if you won't, someone in your family will. So, this blog piece about hiring a resume writer is for everyone that cares about themselves or others. There are many resume writers in the Atlanta area, but not that many great ones.

I know whereof I speak, because at my writing service (404-580-1501) I write a great deal of resumes for people around Atlanta and nationwide. One thing is certain: clients absolutely must know that whoever they hire to write their resumes knows precisely what he or she is doing.

A good resume developer/writer in Atlanta or anywhere else must understand exactly what the objective of the document is intended to do - particularly what type of position is desired. The writer should write for the person hiring for that exact type of job. You want a better job!

The resume writer or resume writing service also must understand how to use descriptive adjectives and keywords related to the type of job their client is pursuing. Furthermore, a great command of the written English Language is required when using them and developing the resume, because the writer is REPRESENTING the client (someone else besides themselves). Get it?

A resume is a concise snapshot of the person it respresents, and it must be a neat-looking and concise, yet fairly thorough, one - and make its impact on the reader within 20 SECONDS. That is NOT long, is it?

The resume service also needs to have at least a general knowledge about the type of position and company the client is presenting it to, to tailor it for them - and to use appropriate words and descriptions. It is critical to be able to somehow describe past job functions and skills in a way that they are relevant to the desired position. It is not always easy to do it.

Along the same lines, a proper and unique resume format should be chosen for each client, as opposed to just using some standard "cookie-cutter" format or generic computer program. Clients are unique, so their resumes should be also. Doesn't this just make good common sense?

Another often-overlooked point is that uniformity and balance go a long ways toward acceptance. Readers like things to be in order, and certain conventions to remain from place to place on the pages. But, having said/written that, a good resume developer is not afraid to add or change particular sections or parts of the resume to make a positive impact and stand out. (I often place personal quotes about my clients' work ethics on the document.)

Having mentioned all of this, one last point is that the writer must know how to get the information he or she needs from the client. 

The resume writer must know what info is needed as far as education, work history, skills, talents, ethics, morals, objectives, dates, titles, acheivements, awards, addresses, contact information, and anything else specific to a particular client - and he must ask for it, assimilate it, structure it, write it, and let the client know that the whole intent is to get into the door for an interview, NOT to get the job with only the resume....
