What some job seekers call a resume is what employers call a job obituary - a written dissertation of everything-you've-ever-done-in-your-life in grim and boring detail. This is like inviting an honored guest to dinner without knowing what they eat. Or like asking the employer to make some sense out of your life... please.
Powerful resumes that get you the interviews are marketing tools that are word portraits describing you at your best in your readers' eyes. The radio station playing in your reader's head is WIIFM - What's in It For Me? The operative word in Darlene's resumes is relevant. Not more.
You have only seconds to catch your reader's attention before your resume gets relegated to the big pile. Darlene's resumes will guarantee it lands in the small pile.
She specializes in professional and executive resumes.
And because there is no standard format, she will frame your resume to match your situation. It will fit you like a well-tailored suit.
Resume clients meet with her twice:
- Once for about 2 or 2-1/2 hours for the intake, when you both collaborate with your targets' brains and needs (employers don't have jobs; they have needs). And then she asks the powerful questions that give her what she needs to wrap you around those needs. Half her fee is due.
- The second meeting usually lasts about 45 minutes to 1 hour when you review your package and request any changes. You pay her the balance of the fee when you are absolutely delighted with what she's given you.
You will also have use of her unique Quantum Quizics™ e-book that
will give you the most effective tool you'll ever need for guaranteeing
your right career fit.
When you leave her, you're still connected. You get two free tele-counseling calls with no statute of limitations.
For
out-of-towners, or those of you who prefer to attend conferences in
your sweats and bare feet - she also works by phone, fax and email.
When you've approved your email copy, you receive your resume package
by snail mail. Credit cards gladly accepted.
Cover Letters Included with Your Resume
A
compelling cover letter never begins with, "enclosed please find my
resume". Or addressed, "To Whom It May Concern". (You might as well
write, "To Whom It May Annoy".)
A compelling cover letter is a succinct marketing agent that whets your readers' appetite for your resume. That's its job.
Darlene
gives you sample cover letters with lots of appropriate sentence
options to choose from to match your readers' needs and your skills.
You'll receive as many hard copies as you want as well as everything on a CD.
