Invest in a high impact professional resume and cover letter for big returns

 

By Neil Kokemuller

 

While many job candidates and career change prospects wait months and months for an opportunity to present itself, a simple investment of only $100 or less, in a high impact resume and cover letter, can be the greatest investment one can make in terms of career development.

 

Communications skills are routinely ranked as the number one skill set according to research reports and surveys.  This includes the ability to communicatively effectively through writing and speaking.  The first chance a job applicant has to ‘communicate’ his communications skills to prospective employers is through a high impact professional resume and cover letter.

 

Resumes are essentially a one to two page highlight reel of one’s education, work history, and other background related to the qualities desired by employers.  The average job in the United States attracts around 120 resumes.  The average resume is reviewed for around 7-10 seconds.  It is no wonder that unknowing and inexperienced job searches will send out tons of resumes and cover letters with little to no response.

 

However, by using high impact resume and cover letter services from a resume and cover letter writing professional, job seekers gain a huge competitive advantage in the job market.  First, a professional resume stands out by its crisp and professional appearance.  Then, it uses quick hitting, effective statements that bring to light the strong qualities of a candidate as they are relevant to the employer.

 

The main question an employer asks while reviewing documents is, “Why would I want this person to work for me?”  If a candidate turns to a professional resume writer with experience helping people effectively answer these questions, he benefits from a stronger representation of his abilities.  A professional writer will highlight each work experience and accomplishment, educational background, technical skills, activities, and more, in a way that clearly communicates to the hiring manager whey the candidate should be hired.

 

High impact cover letters are often more important in the communication process than a high impact resume.  In fact, many employers and managers say that will not consider an application that does not include a cover letter, regardless of whether the job posting mentions this.  A high impact cover letter written by a professional resume and cover letter writer is a direct response to the question mentioned before.  It answers the why question with a straight forward layout with answers.

 

A cover letter should not be a restatement of the experiences noted in the high impact resume.  Rather, it should be a statement of how one’s background and technical skills match with the specific qualifications an employer is looking for.  A professional cover letter writer will ask for details on the job posting before attempting to sell a candidate on professional cover letter writing services.  A job posting generally lists required and desired skills.  A professional cover letter writer responds directly to these needs in the body of the letter.

 

Ultimately, an interview will come if a candidate communicates his benefit to an employer and an employer sees they have something to gain from making an offer.  Thus, investing a modest amount of money in professional resume and cover letter writing services is very small compared to the huge benefits that can be gained.

 

Once a candidate determines they do not have the time or the expertise to develop the most high impact resume and cover letter to sell his skills, he must decide where to go to get these services.  There are resume and cover letter services available at all price points between $29 to $39 on the low end, and several hundred dollars for high end career site services.

 

Many candidates elect to get the best value for their money.  There are a select few resume and cover letter professionals attempting to provide a high quality resume and cover letter for a very fair price.  ProfessionalResumeOrder.Com is an example of a newer service provided by an experienced business and writing professional.  This site offers $99 high impact resume and cover letter services with proven results.  Service users have expressed excitement about the high quality and fast turnaround for such a very affordable price, not to mention the quick responses from employers.

 

When people think about the millions of dollars at stake over the course of a typical adult’s working life, it seems silly to get professional exposure in an initial contact with an employer of interest.  Regardless of the service provider used, a high impact professional resume and cover letter may be the investment that offers the highest rate of return to its investors.
