Resume Zen Works is not a template driven company which designs résumés that are a ‘one-size-fits-all’. You are presented with a unique and individually crafted marketing document that is modeled on your skills and experience that will lead to job search success. Our reference to Zen is in the realm of an analogy, rather than literal. The tradition of Zen practice has nothing to do directly with the ability to compose a resume that communicates professional experience. However, our professional activities especially how we present ourselves to potential employers a.k.a. “the resume” can share the same fundamental Zen concepts of aesthetics, (i.e., strategic use of white space) restraint (i.e., all content supports your specific end goal (s)) and clarity (i.e., not just showing what you did but also effectively communicating how well you did it).

What Sets Resume Zen Works Apart: Unlike many other resume services, we speak with you one-on-one to discuss your career background and create a comprehensive marketing strategy that presents you as a multi-talented professional. We detail your career achievements and create a portrait of a strong candidate who can effectively translate past performance into immediate results. Rather than relying on stiff, tired, generic job descriptions, we work with you in a collaborative manner to implement a stronger unique approach to the details of your career progression, the challenges you faced in each role, and highlight the tangible results you produced.

Resume Writers with hiring and recruitment experience: We are a small group of Certified Professional Resume Writers who are also former Monster. com trainers for both employers and job seekers. You are getting the expertise of people who have trained hiring professionals throughout their career history and are well versed in how to effectively leverage online job boards and networking sites as well as working with recruiters, HR Professionals and applicant tracking systems (ATS). Our experts know what hiring managers are looking for, what you should emphasize, and how to eliminate any “red flag” issues that could take you out of the race.

Personalized Attention: We take great pride in our work. We care about our clients and take the time to get to know them well. This ensures that your resume portrays the unique value you will bring to potential employers and that your resume clearly focuses on the skills and talents required for the job.

Working Together: We believe in a collaborative approach. You and your writer will work together on your resume to write and revise all documents. Your writer will help you think outside of the preverbial box to bring out skills and accomplishments you may have not even thought about. We will provide you with a draft of your resume that portrays all of your unique abilities, skill-set, and career achievements for the greatest impact.

Online Resume Services: Recruiters and Hiring Managers use resumes to screen candidates OUT not in. They spend 10-15 seconds looking at candidates on their first pass. Utilizing a professional resume writer helps you make the most of those 10-15 seconds. The main goal of your resume is to get you the interview. A resume should be more than a list of past jobs. It should serve as a personal sales and marketing tool that attracts and impresses employers. Your qualifications, words, format and presentation must be all packaged to sell yourself. Unless you focus on the great things you’ve done, an employer will never know. It’s not enough for you to know that you have certain achievements under your belt. You have to prove it in your resume by bringing those results to life. Your competitors may have stronger and more impressive accomplishments than you do, but if they fail to present them effectively, it’s as though they don’t exist which gives YOU a great advantage. Therefore, hiring a professional resume writer is going to be one of the most important investments you make for your career. Making this decision will impact the effectiveness of your resume, increase your salary potential, and significantly increase your chances of landing the job offer. It is important to choose a professional resume writer that makes the time to understand your unique work experience and accomplishments. There are many resume services to choose from, so be clear about what you are looking for and check the resume service’s credentials before making your decision on which one is right for you. In today’s ultra-competitive job market where recruiters and hiring managers are inundated with a sea of resumes for each position posted, you need a resume that makes you stand out above all the rest.

Working with a PARW/CC member is like hiring your very own personal publicist to market you successfully. Your resume is your “marketing tool” to stand out in today’s ocean of competition!
