Grammar Chic Inc Professional Resume Writing Enhances Follow Through with Career Related Resolutions

Amanda E. Clark, president and editor-in-chief of Grammar Chic, Inc., explains the importance of updating resume and cover letter content and how professionally written documents can increase the odds of landing an interview.
 
Jan. 3, 2013 - PRLog -- With a new year come resolutions, many of which are focused on professional accomplishments. According to an article published by Forbes, 86 percent of employees polled by Right Management in a recent survey indicated that they were planning to seek a new position during 2013. An increase of 26 percentage points over similar numbers recorded in 2009, this is a significant resolution for a surprisingly large portion of the population. Amanda E. Clark, president and editor-in-chief of Grammar Chic, Inc., explains that hiring the resume writing services of a professional writer can increase the odds that resumes and cover letters result in interviews.

The article asserts that "Job seekers are 40 [percent] more likely to get noticed with a professionally written resume, but most candidates don't even think to hire a professional resume writer." Clark agrees, stating that many job seekers are unaware that professional resume writing services are available to them. As such, they often compose documents to the best of their ability but do not benefit from the industry insight that such professionals can offer.

"A professionally written resume is more effective for several reasons," explains Clark. "First and foremost, hiring managers and recruiters are looking for very specific things in a resume. From the format to the verbiage to the grammar, they are drawn to resumes that have a certain aesthetic and clearly convey the experiences and accomplishments of candidates while also utilizing industry-specific keywords." Clark elaborates this point, explaining that scanners are frequently used to sift through the initial pile of incoming resumes before a person even looks at them. As such, resumes and cover letters that do not contain the right keywords in many cases receive little more than a glance as they are thrown into the recycling bin or deleted from a company's inbox.

"Resume writing is a very detail-oriented activity, one that requires the writer to understand the nuances of resumes and cover letters in order to craft effective documents," Clark asserts. "When we work with our clients to develop their resumes, we go through a consultation process to first ensure that we understand the details of the client's experience and the industry-specific terms and keywords that we are looking to target. Resume writing is not something that we approach as a one-size-fits-all activity—which is why we have been able to help such a high percentage of our clients in landing interviews and, ultimately, getting the jobs that they are looking for."

Investing in a professionally written resume and cover letter is worthwhile, as Clark explains that these documents are more likely to help candidates land interviews. The prices surrounding resume and cover letter creation vary, depending upon the length of the documents and the professional history of the candidate. As 2013 continues to unfold, Clark believes that this is a wonderful gift for job seekers to give themselves as they embark on their journeys to achieve their New Year resolutions.
