Approach to Resume Writing

Not one but two experts create every résumé

YOUR résumé is a professional representation of you and your skills for a very specific audience: the person who will be making the decision to either call you in for an interview or discard your application.

For this reason, your résumé needs to reflect the best of who you are relative to what that reader needs. To accomplish this, the document not only must meet standards for today’s job market in design and keyword usage. Even more important:  YOU must be present in that communication—authentically, accurately, and confidently.

Because your résumé must serve as your professional representative in your absence.

Laurel Kashinn, founder and principal writer at Write Stuff Resources, always employs two experts in the creation of every résumé:

1. You, subject matter expert in your life, skills, and qualifications. No one knows your field and expertise better than you. Instead of conducting a lengthy interview and delivering a first draft days later, we schedule a writing session appointment that combines interviewing you and writing at the same time. You’ll have a 95% to 99% complete, ready-t0-use résumé the same day (usually*).
2. Your professional résumé writer, expert in wording, the writing format for both human eyes and machine eyes (to make sure human eyes actually see the résumé.) In addition, we teach you much more: how to conduct a safe, focused, targeted, job search and be a warm applicant, ready for interviews.

In collaborative writing and coaching sessions, we work together to empower you not just through creating the résumé, but getting up to speed on all the latest best practices in job searching (like how to avoid costly job scams), how to be a warm application in a cold ocean, how to organically prepare for fast interviews (and our clients get interview fast!).

Not only does your résumé need to be correctly prepared, so do you!  That means understanding. Feeling knowledgable. Prepared. Energized. And that’s the difference Write Stuff Resources. As one of our delighted clients said:

* In most cases we complete the résumé in one writing session unless extenuating circumstances require more time such as major career changes, uncertainty of goals,  emotional trauma associated with job search, extremely lengthy and detailed content for advanced academic CVs, etc.
