College Graduates

We develop a resume that emphasizes your degree, as we believe this is the work you have been doing and is the work your heart wants to do.

Important to the resume is:
What makes you tick
What motivates you
Relevant experience that makes you feel proud

The resume goes together with a cover letter. This is an important part of the package, because it gives you an opportunity to express your enthusiasm, and tell the employer that you have passion and competence about your opportunity to begin your career.

The Order Of A Winning Resume:
Objective Decisive Statement about what you want to do. This can be called Objective or it can simply set out strengths.
Highlights This is an area that has some ability to relay your personal traits
Education This comes at the beginning of a resume in a new career
Related Course Work This is developed in a special way to emphasize you last 4-years efforts
Relevant Experience Outlines either a chronology of job history or a functional format of skill sets.
Career History Follows if a functional resume format has been used.

EXCEPTIONS? YES, MANY!

There are many variations of the above order, for instance Medical Curriculum Vitae follow a rather strict format. We breathe life in them, however, by using a category, called: Interests – in order to relay the medical specialty that you are gearing to serve. This will tie together with a personal statement/cover letter that calls forth your passion and confidence to serve this area.

"Just wanted to thank you again for the glorious work you did writing my resume and cover letter. When any friends need similar services, I'll be sure and send them to you. Thanks again!"
— Paul T. Caltech – Applied Math.

Second Job After College

After you have completed your first few years with a company, your resume drops education to the bottom and leaves behind much of the information that is found on the College Grad resume.

Experience, skills sets have grown to be extremely important. Your main consideration for resume format is do you want to stay in your present position and grow in responsibility ?

or

do you want to make a total career change?

There are two formats to choose:

Chronological - for advancing in your field and industry and

Functional - for switching careers.

"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!"
— Al J.
