Specialty
Area - Writing Personal Statements for post-undergraduate programs
and medical professionals:
A statement
of purpose or personal statement is necessary in specialized areas
of medical internship, residency, and fellowship. They can also
become necessary to enter graduate programs, i.e., MBA programs.
A well written personal statement addresses background and future
goals; it sets out the unique qualities that you can bring to a
program; it sets out the strengths you have that are necessary to
the specialty area.
The
Personal Statement is combined with a CV to detail a background
to support the intended position. For the US Residency Match Program,
the Personal Statement is enough, because The Match will provide
questions to be answered that cover what is necessary for a CV.

Careers/A Professional Resume:
After
you have completed your first few years with a company and are ready
to move on or up the professional ladder, your resume takes on a
different look.
For
instance, the education drops to the bottom and leaves
behind room to write a Profile to market you to the
next employer. The Profile is then supported with
the Relevant Experience that will come next in the
body of the resume.
Much
of the information that was on your college resume is
at this point eliminated!
Like
What?
- Information
about college activities
- Information
about college internship (a few exceptions)
- Course
information
- GPA
unless it is 4.0
- Part-time
or summer jobs.
What
Stays?
Now
you have cleared away information and have room to
develop your present position. Experience, skills
sets, and accomplishments grow important.
How
To Present Information?
Your
main consideration for resume format is do you want
to stay in your present industry and grow in responsibility?

or

do you want to make a total career
change?
How
to do this?
There
are two formats to choose:
 |
Chronological
- for advancing in your field and industry
and |
 |
Functional
- for switching careers. |
 |
Combining
Styles - There
is a nice use for both, so often we chose to combine the two
styles, maintaining the nice structure of the Year-to-date chronological
style, but adding special skill sets to gain immediate interest
of the employer to select your resume for the candidates to
review and place it in Stack A.
|
Stack
A
This
is what it is all about - getting to Stack A to be
called for interview.
How
we help you
It
is often very difficult to understand what talents
have brought you to the point you are now, and
as a matter of fact, will be the strengths that
carry you to the next level.
We
begin by listening to what you do and how you do it.
Gathering this information we write a resume that
sets out the How as
your strengths.
We
also sneak around and find out your Talents.
Yes, you have a hard time telling us about this stuff.
Until,
however, you've admitted this fascinating side that
makes you tick. And then you talk and talk about It.
It bubbles out as a matter of fact!
That's
what we want to include on the resume and/or cover letter and then
your resume files into Stack A
which we both know is where you want to be.
The
Next Thing We Do
We
continue supporting you by helping you with your Internet campaign.
We can put you on www.Monster.com/ - a great place we think; develop
a Resume Web page; plan an E-mail campaign to recruiters; or place
you on your selection of customized sites.
We
are experiencing tremendous success with Internet
placement that we will share with you.
Ask
about e-mail campaigns. Also, see Career
Links for
good Internet sites.
Don't
waste time on your career search. Get on the
Internet for instant visibility.

Dear Mary Ann,
Thank you for doing such a great job on my resume. I will
definitely refer you to all of my friends. I really feel an
advantage going into future interviews with such a well written
resume. Also I will be telling my friends they will not only
be going to you just to have a great resume written, but also
to find strengths about themselves they take for granted.
Finding strengths about yourself and being able to talk about
them is just as important as a resume.
Thanks again, Dan Brown (Manufacturer's Rep/Distribution Sales-Indiana)

"Find
a great job. Using the resume you wrote, I experienced several
new job opportunities and took one with a Finance Firm.. Great
Opportunity! I was getting really depressed --- a recent college
education and working as a receptionist in a hair salon. Thanks
so much!" Denise Aug 2003
"I
am writing from Atlanta - teamed up with Pepsi. Love my resume
- we'll do it again in a few years. Lost my disc - hope you
have it!"
