Text Box:   Joellyn Wittenstein Schwerdlin — Principal Certified Professional Résumé Writer Certified Job & Career Transition Coach        In today’s job market, the competition is fierce and it is critical to have a résumé that hiring managers will notice. A résumé that doesn’t “get your phone to ring” isn’t going to help you get a job…it can cost you valuable time and money!      Hiring managers, when scanning hundreds of résumés, always ask: “What can this candidate do for me?” and then invite qualified applicants for interviews, based on their proven abilities to increase sales, save money, optimize productivity or reduce costs for prospective employers. It doesn’t work any other way!      The truth is, so many résumés in the job market are lackluster, unfocused documents, with a mere listing of work responsibilities and no mention of achievements or appropriate keywords.      A job seeker’s best investment is a professional, high-impact résumé that showcases “bottom-line value” to hiring managers--It is the #1 defense against losing out in today’s job market!      Since 1991, we’ve helped hundreds of clients, entry-level to senior executive, across multiple industries, approach the employment community with confidence!    HERE’S WHAT SATISFIED CLIENTS ARE SAYING: · “I wanted to let you know that the response to my résumé has been better then I ever could have imagined. I posted it 2 weeks ago. Since then I have had 7 interviews.  My biggest problem is deciding which offer to accept. I have had numerous people from the interviews tell me that my résumé was the best they have seen. I was wanting to relocate to Colorado, which I thought was a long shot. To my surprise, I have been given an offer. Not only that, I was able to double my salary!!! Congrats on a job very well done!  – R. Little — Web Application Developer · "I just wanted to thank you for a superior job on my résumé.  It's by far more descriptive of my capabilities than my one page version.
