Perhaps you've already experienced the scenario too many times.
You apply for a job. Not even necessarily your dream job. Just a job. And then the game begins. We're referring to the waiting game, that unpleasant time period that's so well known among most job seekers. You may even make a few phone calls during this waiting period, pleading with the hiring manager to at least give you a chance.
And then it arrives.
It's a letter from the Company you applied to, and is the most frustrating of all "Dear John" letters on the planet. This type of letter usually has an opening line that thanks you for applying. Then the letter clearly states that the position has already been filled. As if that's not insulting enough, the letter closes with a simple statement. "Your résumé will be kept on file for the next six months."
You sigh. "But I was never even called in for an interview!"
Rejected, you go back to the want ads, hoping next time to land the job you know you are qualified for.
Then the process starts all over again ...
Ever think your résumé could be the problem?
Did you know that your résumé is the most important piece of marketing material you possess? It holds the power to slam doors
of opportunity shut or fling them wide open. And that power is linked to how it's crafted.
After all, hiring managers are busy people. Few of them have time to "read between the lines," as the cliché goes. They need to know, not guess, that you're hirable material. And a well written résumé is exactly what communicates this fact. You have only a matter of seconds to bypass the reject pile. If you stand out from the other applicants, you'll be catapulted to that coveted "interview" pile.

Choosing Always the Write Touch to develop your résumé may be exactly what it takes to go from the waiting game to that "hired" reality you crave.
All of our résumés are custom-tailored to fit your exact needs. What we give you is a finished product that brings results.
No, we cannot guarantee that you'll be hired by a specific company, but our experience shows that most of our clients are called in for at least a few interviews.
That's because the résumé is what gets you noticed. It's what springs you ahead of the competition and gets you called in for the interview. That's the purpose of your résumé: interviews. Once called in, the interview is then up to you. It's your chance to shine.

How the process works
What makes our résumés unique is the care we take in crafting them.
We start out by gathering as many facts as possible. We want to know what type of position or career field you're interested in. If you have one, we like to look at an existing résumé. And then comes the interview.
We use the same skills to interview you as those used to interview for our award-winning feature articles. We chat with you either on the telephone or in person and literally get to know who you are. Most of our clients inform us that our interview with them actually prepared them for their interviews with prospective employers.
What's more? Sometimes you have skills you are not even aware of. We are trained to hone in on those abilities and communicate them on your résumé.
After our interview is when the magic is done. We set aside a considerable chunk of time to craft your résumé because we want to make sure it's as near-perfect as possible. We truly under-charge our customers when it comes to their résumés because of the time and attention we always devote to them.
Once the process is completed, which usually takes less than five days, you receive an e-mail from us. Attached to the e-mail are two versions of your résumé and/or cover letter: ASCII and PDF files.
The PDF version will allow you to open the file and print it out exactly as it's designed. You'll need the Portable Adobe Acrobat program, which is available for free, to do this. The ASCII version is a generic text file. This version will allow you to easily copy and paste your résumé into online job boards or e-mail it to prospective employers. We can also send Microsoft Word, Microsoft Works, or WordPerfect versions, if requested.
