Resume

Due to the competitiveness of today's job market the job seeker needs to be far more aggressive in their overall job search campaign, particularly when developing their career marketing document, the résumé.

With the window of opportunity often as little as 10 seconds for the résumé to spark the readers attention, it demands a dynamic document that commands the readers attention immediately and portrays the candidate expertise.

A professionally prepared résumé can spark an employer's initial interest leading to an interview and hopefully a job offer.

In this business, first impressions are the only impressions that count! Your résumé is the only evidence the recruiter has of your ability to fulfill the role, this document becomes a direct reflection of you and the type of employee you are.

Increase your opportunity of receiving an interview by having Impressions Career Services professionally prepare your résumé. As a result you will receive a document which is;

• Visually appealing
• Articulate with no mistakes
• Concise and relevant statements marketing your abilities
• Accurate descriptions of responsibilities and achievements

In the process of reducing the number of résumés to a manageable group of qualified applicants, employers or consultants skim résumés for between 10 seconds - 3 minutes each looking for reasons to screen people out.  They will put your résumé aside - and your prospects for a job with it - if it is to hard to read, too long, messy, vague, inaccurate, or unfocused.
