SAMPLE RESUMES

Updated February 04, 2010

Writing a resume is a comprehensive and personalized process. Creating a resume, curriculum vitae (CV), or cover letter involves drawing out your unique skills, experiences, achievements and abilities while employing specific industry strategies to focus on your career goals. We will craft a powerful resume that leverages your strengths, minimizes potential screen-out factors and maximizes your opportunities!

Our sample resumes, along with our actual client testimonials seen below, are updated every few weeks to bring new and fresh expressions to you, our customer. As a full spectrum resume service, we are able to create resumes in any type of format.

Types of Resumes:

There are several types of resumes used to apply for job openings. Depending on your personal circumstances, they include a chronological, a functional, combination, or a targeted resume.

Chronological Resume: A chronological resume starts by listing your work history, with the most recent position listed first. Your jobs are listed in reverse chronological order with your current or most recent job, first. Employers typically prefer this type of resume because it's easy to see what jobs you have held and when you have worked at them.

Functional Resume: A functional resume focuses on your skills and experience, rather than on your chronological work history. It is used most often by people who are changing careers or who have gaps in their employment history.

Combination Resume: A combination resume lists your skills and experience first. Your employment history is listed next. With this type of resume you can highlight the skills you have that are relevant to the job you are applying for, and also provide the chronological work history that employers prefer.

Targeted Resume: A targeted resume is a resume that is customized so that it specifically highlights the experience and skills you have that are relevant to the job you are applying for. It definitely takes more work to write a targeted resume than to just click to apply with your existing resume. However, it's well worth the effort, especially when applying for jobs that are a perfect match for your qualifications and experience.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

"Sara, even after suffering the layoff, that was the best $245 I have spent in years! I appreciated the impeccable follow-up, professionalism, and listening skills as I was so unsure of what I needed. I will be sending you some friends who need their resumes done as well. Thank you!"

Robert B. ~Sandy, UT

"I am just thrilled with what you have done! Thank you so much. I know I'm good at what I do, but obviously, I did not know how to get this across to others effectively. Now, you have helped me do so.  As a HR Director, I will certainly recommend your services to others including our in-house staff. Warmest regards, Karen"

I have already received 3 times the calls from employers this week, and the new formats you've created have taken it a new and much improved level.

James L. ~Redwood City, CA

"I wanted to write you as I am two weeks into my new job and wanted to thank you so very much for helping me on the revision of my resume! Everything worked to perfection and I got the job I wanted thanks to your expert services. I recently got married and the interviews were done before and after the honeymoon so, having your help through all this has been deeply appreciated and I would recommend you to anyone!

Richard H. ~San Jose, CA

"I just wanted to follow up with you and let you know that I received my dream job! It was the first and only resume that I had sent out! I appreciate your professionalism and your quick turn around. The thank you letter was a great touch in their eyes. I am very happy in my new position and a lot of the credit goes to you and your staff.  In addition, I just wanted to let you know that I have sent a few people your way. Hopefully, you will be hearing from them soon."

"Good morning guys,
You probably get this a lot but your process and company has helped turn my life around.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

"I was never confident about my resume until now. You have said everything I've been trying to say, I just couldn't put it together. Thank you very much."

Donna L. ~Los Angeles, CA

"Good morning and thank you so much for your help as well as that of your staff! I was very impressed when you sent me this and couldn't believe how unorganized my original resume originally was.  I've already had numerous calls from companies and recruiters so, I wanted to thank you very much for making such a big difference in my career search.  I'll definitely recommend you to anyone I know looking for a top-notch Resume Writer! Thanks again."

Robert P. ~Chicago, IL

"Thank you so much! Great job and I wanted you to know that I actually was offered the Project Engineering position we talked about!  Utilizing the cover letter and thank you letter with the resume was a very professional touch. They even said no one they had interviewed had bothered to send a thank you letter following the interview so I guess I stuck out. I also appreciate your patience with all my questions! Thanks again and I'll let you know how my new job turns out!"

Michael P. ~San Diego, CA

"I love it! I can't believe you took the mess I sent you and turned it into this! Anyway, I'm very happy with this new resume and I wanted you to know that I'll pass on your company's name to anyone else I know looking for a professional Resume Writer! That includes all my students graduating this year as many of them could use your expertise! Take care and much luck to your service."

Lisa V. ~Miami, FL

"I just reviewed my new resume and I think it's beautiful! The way you reworded my descriptions is incredible and I couldn't have done this without your help. I am very happy that I decided to use your services out of all the others I talked to. Have a great weekend and thank you so much for the great resume!"
