How did you get here?
Of the millions (maybe billions) of websites and pages on the Internet, you end up here. Hmmm, coincidence? Accident? Perhaps. Perhaps not.
Maybe a friend told you about us. Maybe you read an article we wrote. Maybe you received something from us in the mail. Maybe you’ve been thinking about that next career move and are ready to build the tools to do it right.
How ever you got here, you’re here. Invest a couple of minutes to see what we do. Consider taking a couple of actions, right now – today, to move your career and your life in the direction of your purpose.
Call us (913-486-5147) and tell us about yourself. Who you are, what you’d like to do and how a great resume might play into that.
Send us your resume (email is quickest) and we’ll tell you what we think (no charge).
Ask for our guide Your Resume. It’s free – all we get is your email address. We’ll contact you from time-to-time (until you tell us not to) to let you know about what we’re doing and to share ideas and tips for navigating the career wilderness. We won’t sell it (or any information about you), trade it, publish it or do anything else with it.
Let a friend know about us. Even if it’s not the right time for us to work with you, you likely know someone for whom the time is right. Help us help someone you know and, who knows, maybe they’ll help you down the road.
What do we do?
We create wonderful, distinctive resumes that work; resumes that get interviews and a whole lot more. We take what you’ve done and where you’ve been and frame that for where you’re going.
How do we do it?
We do what we do by beginning with you. Yep, we have some formats and a philosophy we’ve found that work pretty well. We’ll give you the best we’ve got from what we’ve learned. But our approach begins (and ends) with you.
We’ll talk to you. Yes, two real people having a real conversation. We’ll find out some things about you – things that distinguish you; things that make you who you are.
If you have a resume, we’ll take a look at it. We’ve found most people’s current resumes are helpful are a good source for work history, education and things like that. It’s a starting point.
If you don’t have a resume, we’ll have you fill out a questionnaire. It’s the quickest way to get the speeds and feeds we need to get your resume working for you.
Then, we’ll close our office door, put on some soft classical music, sip some extraordinary tea and sculpt your resume from the clay of who you are.
When we’re done, we’ll talk with you about it. We’ll tell you why we did what we did. We’ll tell you how to use your resume. We’ll answer your questions. We’ll make sure you’re satisfied.
How much does it cost?
A working resume doesn’t cost; it pays!. Sorry. Couldn’t resist. Your working resume will be about the best $300 you’ll spend.
Wow, sounds like a lot of money! What’s the cost of a lost opportunity? What’s the cost of sending out dozens of cover letters and resumes that, well, don’t work?
Besides, if you send out a hundred resumes, your investment with us is only three bucks per mailing. You’ll spend close to that on nice paper, envelopes and postage. And sending that stuff without a working resume won’t get you much.
Why should you have us write your resume?
We know what works; and what doesn’t. We’re not a resume mill but, still, we’ve written a lot of resumes. And when we write your resume you don’t just get a resume. You get us. We’ll tell you the best way to use your resume and we’ll help you get results (like interviews).
We’re not interested in doing thousands of resumes at $79 each ($79 sounds so much cheaper than $80, you know).
We’re interested in making a real contribution to the personal and professional advancement of clients we can get to know. And, frankly, writing more or less than same thing thousands of times (or even twice) isn’t very appealing to us. We’d rather tell your unique story in a compelling way.
Who are we?
We’re business people who have held senior positions in some of the country’s top companies. We’ve hired lots of people. And we’ve not hired lots of people. We’ve seen lots of resumes; most of them pretty bad.
We’re also writers. We know how to communicate a lot of information in a concise, yet compelling, way.
We’re professional marketers. We’ll help you recognize and promote your special brand. You’ve never looked (or sounded) so good!
Can I do this myself?
No.
Not unless you’re that professional writer with 25 years of business experience who’s seen thousands of resumes, hired hundreds of people and can still look at your own experience, skills and passions objectively and write an amazingly engaging resume about yourself.
If you are that person, call us. We’d like to meet you. And maybe hire you.
What do I get?
For your very reasonable investment, you get a wonderful, working resume; a resume that’ll get you interviews and do, oh, so much more.
We’ll send it to you in Microsoft Word® format. We’ll also send you two or three copies printed on nice paper (just so you can get the full effect).
We’ll also include some other tools you might find helpful like a worksheet for keeping track of who you’ve contacted, some sample cover letters and our hitherto unpublished work, The ABC’s of Creating Work That Works.
