Resume Details

Click below for more info! Q: Are your resumes Applicant Tracking System friendly? A: Absolutely! We understand how Applicant Tracking Systems work and what keywords will get you in front of the recruiter or hiring manager. All resume formats are exceptionally clean and focus on content that will impress whoever, and whatever, is reading it. ​ Q: How can you help me switch to a new career if I don’t have experience? A: Switching careers will take time and consistency. However, we will leverage your transferable skills and any education or certifications you’ve acquired and remove any irrelevant information to ensure only your best qualities are highlighted. You may have a lot more in-demand skills than you're aware of! Q: What option do I choose if I want a second resume?  A: If you have purchased a package and would like to add on a second resume from us, you can choose the "2nd Resume" option when you start our resume intake form. If you are wanting a 2nd resume post-purchase, please contact support@resumeaddict.com and we'll assist you there.  If we have created a resume for you in the past, you can choose our Returning Client package for a new resume. Q: How are the revisions done? Does it cost extra? A: All packages include one revision at no cost to you. The resume writer will send you a draft of your new resume and you will have the chance to provide detailed feedback to ensure we reach 100% satisfaction with your resume.  ​ Q: Is there anything that needs to be done differently to appeal to remote opportunities?  A: When you complete the resume intake form, please indicate that you are looking for remote work, and we will add language to appeal to remote work opportunities.  Q: How can you make my resume attractive with a career gap?  A: While it depends on the nature of your career gap, we will focus on highlighting your transferable skills and briefly describe the reasoning behind your career gap, without telling the recruiter/hiring manager too much of what they don't need to know.  ​ Q: Do you do federal resumes? A: We are working to provide this service soon! Please subscribe to our email list to be updated about our new services and promotions.  ​ Q: Do I need to know what I’m going to do next, or can you make it general? A: We would prefer that you have a sense of what your next career move is so that we can be specific on your resume. General resumes typically will not get you the traction that you are looking for. We suggest researching job boards to see what sounds appealing. If you still need a bit more help, please book a Career Strategy Session to gain clarity and confidence regarding your career.  Q: Do I send you my job descriptions? A: Yes, we will gather additional information when you complete the resume intake form, and you will be able to send emails to your resume writer.  Q: Will I have to edit my resume for every job? A: If you are applying for the same industry, you will not. If you plan to apply for multiple industries, you will need to update your resume according to the skills they are asking for.

Q: Is a cover letter still needed?  A: Yes, while they aren’t as popular as they used to be, some traditional hiring managers read them, and it can determine whether you get the offer. It’s better to have it than to not have it.  Q: Can the cover letter be used for more than one job?  A: Yes! Our cover letters focus on your strengths and transferable skills. 

LinkedIn

Click below for more info! Q: How does the LinkedIn Optimization work? Is it necessary to have a LinkedIn profile? A: We’ll update your background photo, about section, job descriptions and skills to make sure that you show up in recruiter’s searches.

If networking isn’t your thing, you can still gain a lot of benefit from simply being apart of the community.

Results

Results

Click below for more info! Q: What’s your success rate?  A: We have seen previous clients get traction in as early as 14 days, but there are many factors that play into the success of your resume. Consistency is key. In addition, your location, availability of openings and the types of roles you want to attract will determine how long it will take to start seeing traction. We recommend being aggressive with your career search by applying to 15-20 positions per week, prioritizing applying on direct company websites, and targeting jobs posted within the last 24-72 hours.
