Criteria For Choosing The Right Executive Resume Writing Service

By Anita Ortega


Let us face it. It is tougher to get a job nowadays even if you are highly skilled. The past few years have seen managers at all levels get the axe from their positions due to downsizing or even closure. The one advantage for an executive to get his or her foot into the door is to have a good resume or curriculum vitae. At times we may need an executive resume writing service to help out.

One would notice that there has been an explosion in these kinds of service offerings. One can see them on print media, the internet, and even spam mail. You would actually be spoilt for choice when you start looking. What skill you will really need is how to look for one that can get you the right results.

Apart from price, there are many other considerations in choosing the right resume writing service for yourself. Some attributes you should look at are relevance and adaptability, conciseness, clarity and accuracy. These would come in handy as points on a checklist.

Much has changed in the way that curriculum vita and resumes are made and used these days. In the past it was expected for one to have thick resumes with complete references and supporting work experience documents and the like. However, we are in a new age and times have changed, so we must also adapt the way we do things so that we become more relevant.

The resume adapted for the modern age is much different from the resumes of the past. The ones in the past were a lot of pages thicker and much more detailed with supporting documents. Nowadays they are much briefer and more to the point. Also there are standard professional formats used so when someone looks at it they can tell precisely what kind of professional is applying for what. Curriculum vita of today also use 14 points as a standard size and usually uses times new roman and arial as its stylized font.

What you have written and submitted should be concise. It should be to the point and direct. The more information you can put across in as little words as possible will do wonders in your being shortlisted. Have a wide use of vocabulary but avoid extremely superfluous or exaggerated words.

What you submit must also be clear and accurate. A good rule of hum is to fit your resume to the job. Look at the job requirements and fit your wordings and experiences and skills to what is needed. Remember you want to get attention and at best a possible job interview.

Now that you have these criteria, try to look for the service that can provide a product with all these elements. Ask each one that you are thinking of hiring to provide you with a sample so you can have a look if these elements exist in the samples that they provide. Once you find at least three services that satisfy you, then continue further by applying other criteria, such as price and others, so that you will end up with only one.
