Answer Help Wanted Ads/Atlanta: Send Resumes For Interviews

A lot of unemployed individuals still scour "help wanted" ads as a part of their job searches in Atlanta, Marietta, and other areas, and to some extent it still works. It is all a matter of calling, researching online, and verifying the legitimacy of the positions advertised. Then a resume is sent to secure an interview (often with a cover letter).

Be forewarned, these types of "help wanted" advertised positions recieve hundreds of resume applicants per job posting. To say these job postings are competitive is an understatement. What can you do to improve your odds for these job offerings in Atlanta and elsewhere?



Contacting a good resume developer/resume writer in Atlanta or Marietta is a good start. I volunteer for you (Jimmy Hall Writing Services/Douglasville-Atlanta, 404-580-1501). You must standout from the pack in the original resume sorting.

A good resume service in metro Atlanta (like mine) can craft you a crisp and clever resume that highlights your skills and accomplishments, while downplaying weak spots. It's all about design, content, and keywords (not just in the seo sense). I know what info to ask you for, and if what you provide makes sense or not. I then assimilate and mold it into a great snapshot of you.

If you need a solid resume and accompanying cover letter, Jimmy Hall Writing Services (404-580-1501) might be a good first step in finding a new job....

Make Resumes Work: Resumes That Get Interviews (404-580-1501)

Resumes??? The whole point of having a resume service write a resume for you is to obtain job interviews. If a resume doesn't get you in the door it is not serving its purpose, no matter how nice and pretty it looks. At Jimmy Hall Writing Services (404-580-1501) I write good resumes of all types.

Whether yours is to be a Basic Resume, Exective/Professional Resume, or Federal Resume, it must standout and separate you from the others in the bunch. It might only be scanned-over for 20 or 30 seconds, so it must also do it quick.

The format should have your name and contact info at the top, the most important general traits bulleted first, positions where they have been applied, how they have been used, how they can be used, and what education and training has been completed. (Now, in some cases someone with little work experience might well have their education highlighted on the first page.)

The point is that you need a resume service or resume writer that knows exactly what he or she needs from you to present you in a favorable light. The reader must want to learn more about you in-person (interview). Get it?

My Atlanta writing service/Douglasville, can do just exactly that. Please contact me soon, to wwrite your resume (404-580-1501).

Cover Letters/Atlanta: Purpose Of A Cover Letter

As the name suggest, a cover letter provides cover or supports the resume it is sent in conjunction with. The idea is that the cover letter writer can conceptualize the content of the resume, amplify it, and thus make the job candidate have a better chance of sticking-out from the crowd and appear more qualified for the position in question. That is the purpose of a cover letter in Atlanta, Douglasville, or anywhere else in America.


Cover Letters Work

How exactly is this done? At Jimmy Hall Writing Services /Douglasville - Marietta (404-580-1501) my philosophy is to state the candidate's interest in the position, sell the applicant's value to the organization, provide some background info, compel the reader to act, and then give thanks for the time and consideration given to the letter and resume.




The fact is that all else beig equal, people hire someone that they like. So, be likeable. Present yourself as functional and a team player. Find that fine line between being a total subordinate and an independent employee. Don't be threatening, but do not be helpless or just an order-taker without upward mobility at all either.


Cover Letters Work With Resumes

In this age of "Objectives" being left-off resumes, use the cover letter to specifiy them and the position(s) you are interested in. Let the resume and cover letter work in tandem. Get it? 

In today's job market, you need every possible edge. Standout. Use cover letters and later follow-up letters to be more unique than your competition in the job market. best wishes! I am here to help you. I am a cover letter writer too.

Online Resume Writers, Hiring Resume Writers Online 404-580-1501

Resume writing has become big business. Why? Everyone (well 95% of folks) need resumes.What?  Certainly job-seekers need them, and people already employed should always have them on file. I work with people  regularly at Jimmy Hall Writing Services/Atlanta, 404-580-1501. I know!

Your Resume

What about YOU, and your resume? Is it up-to-date? If not, you need to hire a solid resume writer to whip one into shape. For a great deal, I recommend that an online resume writing professional (like myself) be hired to assist you in this way with your job search.




Online Resume Writers


Resume writers that work online (usually from a home office) can offer top-quality work at a lower price, due to smaller overhead expenses. We save money on rental space and utilities, printing, and save time by operating via e-mail and phone calls - as opposed to attending meetings, etc.

In addition, most of us are now licensed or registered in our local counties. furthermore, like myself, almost all business writing professionals will at least have a website, and generally also a blog. Therefore, a simple click or two provides immediate writing samples for you!

A solid online resume writer, like other resume developers, will sell you for an interview. After all, a meeting or interview is the ultimate goal/objective of the resume. Interviews secure jobs, not resumes. Remember that! 

Know Your Resume Content

So, know what is on your resume (representation of your working/educational life) backwards and forwards before interviews - and do not worry about leaving a little vagueness - requiring a meeting to understand! 

~ Jimmy Hall, 404-580-1501, can help you!

Job Hunting: Job Hunting Should Be Taken Seriously 404-580-1501

In this day and age, with such a lack of national leadership and a rather sad macroeconomic outlook, job hunting has become a real competition. Job hunting itself is harder work than actually reporting and performing a normal job or position. It should be taken seriously. I know, because at Jimmy Hall Writing Services (404-580-1501) part of what I do is help people secure job opportunities via writing their resumes and cover letters, and providing a few tips.

Job Searcher Responsibilities

A person seeking a job should write down all of their positive attributes, skills, solid experience, work history, education, awards, accomplishments, activities, abstract skills, tangible talents, and even their weaknesses. Why? This material is useful on a resume with the rest of the obligatory front-end info. Think in terms of descriptive adjectives. What about the weaknesses?

Resume Weaknesses?

The weaknesses are what will be worked on so that they will not stand out either in an interview or on-the-job or resume. Weaknesses should be deflected from, and maybe not always volunteered. If you fix them it is not an issue anyway, right?




Resumes Are Tasks

Your presentable resume is your first test from a potential employer. They know you probably did not write the actual resume, but your ability to delegate and turn-in the final product with good and orderly info is on trial! What?

Yes, you are being evaluated before even signing a work contract. The act of securing and presenting the resume is important enough to decide whether or not you deserve a job interview - like it or not. In fact, your resume will likely be looked at for about 30 seconds at a major company, and maybe a minute elsewhere. In that time you either make the interview cut or NOT!

Pinpoint Resume Receipients 

Once you have a good resume writer or resume developer and feed them the right info about yourself and what work you want to do and for what type of company/firm, the next step is to get the resume into people's hand, and hope for interviews.

So, why not brush up on what is placed upon your resume, and be ready tom defend it? Defend it? Yes. Why did you leave this job then? What were you doing between this and this time? If you are so great at doing this, why did they let you go? 

I think that you get the idea. It also doesn't hurt to think about salary negotiation a little, but first things first - you need job interviews. Talk to friends, read papers, look at online job boards, cold call companies, think about places where you already do business that know you, etc.... Have places to send resumes. How about past employers, even? Maybe?

When you walk into interviews, be yourself; do not be fake or plastic. By the same token, however, do not be TOO INFORMAL either - despite the interviewer's actions. Simply be confident and know your stuff. Think in terms of you and the company evaluating each other. It is NOT so one-sided, really. You might NOT like them!




Connect With Interviewers

Do your best to connect personally with whoever you meet with in each successive interview. Why? let's face it, people hire who they like. That is the bottom line. Be pleasant and be armed with a sincere smile and you just might succeed!

Summary Of Resume Scenario

In a nutshell, hire a great resume writer/resume developer (Me, me, me!), know your stuff and be comfortable with yourself by interview time, and exchange info with your interviewer and make a connection with him or her or them.

If I can help with your resume or cover letter (or even a followup letter after interviews in many cases), please let me know (Jimmy Hall - 404-580-1501).

RESUMES: Writing Your Resume, What Resume Writers Need/Atlanta ... (404-580-1501)

Your resume is important. It is actually the first task or project that you do for your future employer? How so? The resume must be written, or delegated to a resume writer to be wriiten on your behalf, and then you are responsible for the final product given to the potential employer for consideration. Get it? resumes are written virtually every few minutes in Atlanta.

That resume is s a snapshot of YOU. If you do not do a great job of representing yourself to the possible employer, why should they want to hire you! No matter what type of position you are applying for, you are usually still expected to be able to produce a good resume, even if the job itself has ZERO to do with writing or organizing!

At my writing service, I make sure that clients provide me with complete info before I write. This includes full name, address, phone, e-mail addresses, and other contact info, 8-10 adjectives about themselves, a work ethics quote, a complete job history with company names, service dates, locations, duties, accomplishments, and transferrable skills, etc... Hint: I am a solid resume writer and know what is needed to get in the employer's door.

I also like to have a full educational picture with degrees, diplomas, schools, locations, years attended, special awards, clubs, course specialties, sports, academic achievements, and other pertinent information. 

Lastly, I also like to see something about their everyday lives, whether it be church, golfing, clubs, mentoring, chess, travel, charity work, and what not.

When someone else is writing your resume, they need to feel like they know you. Sell yourself to them (hopefully me) so that they can sell you to the employer for an interview. Remember, the average resume gets about 30 seconds of initial sight, if that.

Resume Service/ Atlanta: Executive Resumes Written ~ Jimmy Hall (404-580-1501)

Executive resumes are important, generally being for higher-level positions. That is simple common sense. As such, a candidate certainly needs a responsible resume service to organize and prepare them. I know, for at Jimmy Hall Writing Services/ Atlanta Executive resumes are written here! 

What is different about executive resumes? Chiefly, a few simple differentials. For one, no "objective" is generally given. The open position is important and a specific one. Secondly, a focus on precise achievements, numbers, and accomplishments is required. Applicants for these jobs all have had great titles and past positions, but what they did in them is what sets them apart from one another. Lastly, educational credentials and special certifications and duties matter!




A good resume service around Atlanta (or the nation for that matter) will strive to set each client apart when crafting an executive resume for them, period. The resume must be crisp and fact-filled, yet pleasant to look at. The truth is that a person's resume (and the delegation of the composing of it) is his or her first test or assignment to be evaluated by a potential employer - and an extremely important one! Get a better job today!

Take your resume seriously. If I can be of assistance, please call me at 404-580-1501 (Jimmy Hall). I can and will help. Thanks.

Job Search Tips: Resumes, Cover Letters, Interviews, and Follow-ups ~ Jimmy Hall

Finding a new job in Atlanta or anywhere else when you are unemployed is a difficult task, especially due to the pressure and even guilt (probably unjustified) you might feel with respect to your current situation or about yourself. I hope that this piece about job search tips and resumes, cover letters, interviews, and follow-ups will help.

As a writer that crafts many resumes, cover letters, and follow-up letters, I understand clients' job searches. At Jimmy Hall Writing Services/Atlanta (404-580-1501) I assist them in any ways. Finding employment in the 21st Century is a fulltime job itself, so do not feel discouraged.


What Type Job?


For starters, do you have the time and resources to look for exactly the type of new opportunity that you want, or must you quickly find any type of work? 


Specific Position/Certain Companies


If you can be a little choosey, by all means target a specific position or type of job (or certain companies) and have an executive or specific resume and cover letter written for it. Present yourself as a valuable commidity, a partner or team player to add value.


General Opening


If time is of the essence, cast a wider net, and be a bit more general without focusing 100% on a certain profession on the resume itself (but craft the cover letter to the general opening(s) they are offering).


Do Company & Job Research


Regardless of the approach taken, make certain that you study-up on the company and Google info about that certain type of job at that company before your interview with the company. Secondly, look at your own resume, and be prepared to answer any questions you feel might be asked based upion it or any weaknesses you truly have. 

Ace Interviews

Once there, be a good listener in the interview, but be open to throwing-in some info to let the interviewer know that you know something about the situation you aspire to walk into. Do not be simply a responder or reactor. Have personality. Lastly, be yourself. The most important thing might-well be for the interviewer to simply LIKE you. Ace interviews!

Interview Follow-up

Regardless of how good or bad you feel like the interview went, do send a follow-up note or letter the next day, expressing your appreciation for the meeting and offering to clarify or provide any more information desired. Understand?


Resume Writer/Cover Letter/Follow-up Writer

I would love to assist you with your resume, cover letters, and follow-up letters. feel free to contact Jimmy at 404-580-1501...

Resumes/Atlanta: How Resume Writers Develop Resumes - Jimmy Hall/Atlanta-Douglasville

Resumes are important in Atlanta, Marietta, Kennesaw, or elsewhere online across Amewrica. We all have one or have had one, and most people absolutely dread updating or writing a new resume. Let's face it; it simply is not a fun task, not even for professional resume services like myself. However, there are ways to have the job done correctly and painlessly. Looking at the resume as a part of the bigger process is rewarding for both the writer and the owner of the document.

A resume is a snapshot of a life and working life. Most hiring managers, human resource professionals, and supervisors hurry through piles of them weekly, allowing roughly 20-30 second initial scans of each one. That is it. Resume writers should develop resumes with that fact in mind.

The job applicant's resume (representation) must quickly stand-out and make the grade above others, or be discarded. It is as simple as that. Chances are that if the applicant hears nothing back within a week, they never will. That is a cold hard fact, excepting with large corporations that keep resumes on file for several months due to the need for a large semi-skilled labor pool.

The double-question many clients ask me is exactly what should go on a resume and in  what layout or form? The answer is that you must include all aspects of yourself in a positive light. This includes the last 70% of yoyur working life, your entire education (formal and informal), all skills, accomplishments, and keyword-adjectives that describe you (preferably related to a postion or positions that you are seeking). Layout?

The resume layout depends entirely upon the material provided to the resume developer/resume writer, and what he or she deems best for the reader. You always want the strengths to be featutred prominently and first, and pages to flow and have a sense of order and "white space."




I ask my clients to provide 8 or 10 adjectives about themselves, a short quote about their personal work ethics or abilites, a full employment history (with cities and years), a complete education history (including schools, cities, years, and other training courses via past employers or independently taken). 

It goes almost withoiut saying or writing that a complete name, phone number, e-mail address/fax number, and any other relevant conmtact info should be included. Perhaps most-importantly of all, we resume writers also need to know the purpose or objective of the resume, as specifically AND vaguely as possible (to write it both ways). What position or positions are you after? Is there a particular company? If so, include something about them to demonstrate you have done your homework.

Keep in mind that your resume is the first task the potential employer is in a sense grading you on. While he or she knows that you may not have formally written it, the employer also knows that you provided the info and made the decision about who to hire to make your representation come to life on the resume pages...

At Jimmy Hall Writing Services / Marietta, I would like to assist you in task of chnaging jobs or simply findingh a position (404-580-1501). If not, I hope that you at least got something out of this short posting. Thanks.

SEXY RESUMES? Provocative Interviews? The Bridget Jones approach? ~ Jimmy Hall Writing Services.com

Sexy resumes? Provocative interviews? One of the Bridget Jones' movies has a classic scene where actress Rene Zellwegger's character, frustrated from not being able to obtain a new job via interviews, simply tells the male interviewer that she was fired from her last job for "shagging" her boss (physical relations). She is immediately hired, and with a devious grin is assured that that type of behavior would not impact negatively upon her career at that company! 

Unfortunately, as human beings, everyone is prone to allow their 5 senses (and special 6th combo sense) to slip off-track and digress when making what are supposed to be strictly business decisions with respect to human resources and hiring practices. This is true of all positions, even those that are filled by people that the company's clientele will never even see. Why? People are physically attracted to each other, period. But, how does this affect job applicants, their resumes, and job interviews? Resume services know.

While background, work experience, professionalism, education, skill sets, character, work ethics, ability, relationships (who ya know) and "person to job-fit" should be the prime criteria for hiring and filling positions, we must face the fact that the interviewer liking the applicant is also a major factor - and possibly the most-important one. The sexy resume may be what gets the initial interview! Then comes the personality deal. have you ever thought in these terms at all?

As such, why not find out about your interviewer ahead of time, and make every effort to also be "likable" to him or her in a friendly, somewhat sexy, yet professional manner? It simply makes good sense to give yourself a chance, and not to be ruled-out if you might be the best person for the job, right? Wouldn't it be wrong for you, if you are the best applicant, to lose the opportunity just because one person interviewing you doesn't click with ya?

Few of us are ever ourselves during interviews or meetings, as much as we may try to be. We act different because we are often nervous or timid. Why not really be yourself? Let a good resume service do their job, and you do yours in obtaining a job!

If you are a studly guy or a sexy woman, let some of that charm or charisma or sex-appeal exhume from you in the meeting. Be extremely cordial in the follow-up letter, as well... For that matter, un-bore your resumes and cover letters, making them a somewhat sexy combo - if you have the proper background - add appeal on the resume/cover letter and in the interview! Be yourself, be likable, and demonstrate what you can do for the organization....

Resume Writing Services Write Effective Resumes Securing Job Interviews - Jimmy Hall (404-580-1501) - http://www.jimmyhallwritingservices.com/Resume_Writer_Writing.html

Resumes are not written to directly get jobs. No. The function of a resume, prepared by a good resume writer/resume writing service, is to put the job applicant into play and in the door for a face-to-face meeting/job interview. Repeat, resume services write effective resumes getting job interviews for clients. Given this fact (agreed upon by Human Resource Experts & Managers across the board) the job hunter should not try and cram all available info into a resume, but rather have neat one that is well-organized and presents a snapshot of the applicant in his or her best light.

When this resume service write resumes, I like to include a number of sections, large and small. These parts include:

1. Name
2. Address
3. Contact Info (Phone/E-mail)
4. Applicant Quote
5. Professional Objective (Purpose of Resume/Interview)
6. Snapshot profile/Accomplishments
7. Expertise/Special Skills-Talents
8. Employment Experience
9. Education
10. Miscellaneous facts (Sometimes)

Why is any of this important? As a position-seeker, like it or not/fair or not/ you are already being evaluated and judged by the appearance of your resume itself, before it is even read in detail or evaluated by content. That's right. Whether you even wrote it or not, you secured the final product that is being read. You either designed it or delegated the assignment to someone else - the resume is the first task you are being evaluated for by the potential employer! Good resume services in Atlanta or resumes services elsewhere understand this!

What about the actual resume content? Apart from being factual, the content of a resume should also sprinkle numerous adjectives and words that reflect positively upon the applicant's ability to do the type of job being applied for. These adjectives should work hand-in-hand with keywords, also included by the resume writer, for both the human eye AND any potential applicant screening programs that may be used to sort resumes the organization receives. In other words, the resume should be written with a dual purpose, for man and machine! In a real sense, it should be search engine optimized just like web content. Again, a resume writing service should know this.



A good resume preparation service understands what has been shared in this piece, and job-seekers should also. Only accept a person or service that is willing to write your resume as an individually-crafted and unique piece, as my service does.

For further information on resume preparation or help with writing your resume, please give Jimmy Hall Writing Services a call, or check us out on the web at: http://www.jimmyhallwritingservices.com/Resume_Writer_Writing.html . You deserve the best, and my firm "Writes Resumes For Results."

Resumes/ Resume Writers Needed ~ Jimmy Hall

Atlanta Resumes/ Resume Writers Needed

~ Jimmy Hall/ Jimmy Hall Writing Services /Atlanta (404-580-1501)

You need a new or updated resume, and a resume writer or service must be hired to craft it; but, how do you determine who should do it for you? Aren't all resume services the same? Is there really a difference between resumes and their writers? Please read-on.

Resumes Ideally Secure Job Interviews

Ideally, your updated or totally new resume will present an overview of your personal competence, knowledge, education, experience, skills, character, and professional life with respect to potential positions, jobs, or work projects. A proper resume should be designed to quickly grab and hold the attention of the reviewer, and to differentiate you/your resume from the competition for the position you want. Job hunting and position seeking are rough jobs themselves.

Talented Resume Developer

Nonetheless, it takes a talented resume developer with unique skills and abilities to write such a resume.  He or she must pose to you just the right questions about yourself, quiz you, obtain just the correct info, combine it right, and then format it persuasively for the people hiring for the position(s) you want. Find employment now!

Resumes Must Appear Unique

The majority of resume writers in Atlanta treat each client like a robot, transferring their info into a one size fits all format or program. I do not do that, nor should you or your resume writing service. No, each resume must be specially formatted just right for each individual client. Resumes must appear unique. The goal is to get invited inside the door for an interview, then you are ready to shine!

Integrity Remains Important

When the resume is written and done, the personal and private information trusted to resume developer must remain private. It is NOT meant for anyone to see without your permission. A good writing service must be held to high ethical and confidentiality standards. Your information needs to be safe with your writer, or destroyed. No one likes the notion of identity theft.  Understand? 

Keep these things in mind when writing or choosing a writer for your resume. Also, your feedback is welcomed...
