This Week's Best Advice!

Folks, one of the simplest, and most effective, means for you to improve your chances in the job hunt is to get your resume professionally written.

I've written about this before in the pages of the Wall Street Journal, and I simply can't emphasize enough how important it is to have a professional craft your resume.

Sure, you've lived the life and you can write the words, but can you persuade a recruiter, in less than 10 seconds, to take your resume seriously and invite you in for an interview?

A great resume writer can help you do that.

With almost 1 million subscribers now at TheLadders.com, we're able to reach out to the nation's best resume writers and hand-pick the ones we want to recommend to you.

And what do you, our loyal subscribers, think?

Well, read on to see what two of your fellow TheLadders.com subscribers have to say...

I would like to thank TheLadders.com for recommending Peter Newfield and his associates as resume preparation and distribution consultants.

 

Several things make their services unique and especially valuable in this crowded field: First, they take considerable time to find out what your strengths and accomplishments are and what you really want in your next job through written questions and answers. This is a detailed approach which results in your resume being free of the usual empty buzz words and "noise", and which instead accurately describes you and what you offer. This lends honesty to the entire job search process, making it easier to locate and talk with prospective employers with whom you share mutual goals and interests. The bottom line is that I am satisfied and cannot talk too highly of these people.

Well, thanks Christopher! We think pretty highly of Peter and his whole team also!

And here's a note sent along to our friend, resume writer extraordinaire, Alesia Benedict!

Alesia,

 

I must say, that I am very impressed with the process as well as you and your team's prompt service. I can only pray that someone will find my little needle in this very large haystack.

The final result of all of your hard work is absolutely, amazing!!

I'm sure that you and your team have heard this time and time again, but I would definitely, hire me. I'm not kidding, you have made me look awesome!!

I'm thanking you now, and I will thank you again and again, once my new career comes knocking.

Thank you.
