Unlike many course instructors, I have been doing this work for over 15 years, literally working on hundreds (likely thousands) of resumes. I would truthfully say: Most people do need help, or would at least benefit from professional assistance. I’d estimate that 90-95% of the resumes I see could be improved—sometimes dramatically—with some guidance. It’s competitive out there.
This class and guide will help you assess:
-
YOURSELF:
- Your skill level in writing your resume
- The time and budget you have available for your resume
- Your level of personal interest in learning how to “DIY it” (do-it-yourself)
-
PROFESSIONAL RESUME WRITERS:
- How to pick a pro for your needs, if you decide to hire someone (whether it’s me or another writer)
Truth time: Who can truly do a good (or good enough) job on their own? Some can, but not everyone. That’s my honest, professional assessment based on my 15+ years in this career. There’s no shame in needing resume help! After all, I probably don’t know how to do what you know how to do!
I offer this video course, along with a PDF guide, to help anyone interested in assessing themselves with a quick quiz, and for those who dig the details, more in-depth input.
Do you need a pro? Or can you “DIY” it? Is a resume writer worth it? We’ll also cover:
- What to look for in an okay, good, and great writer—and what to avoid
- The price range and details to expect at each level of service
- How to evaluate if the writer you’ve already hired did a good job—or not
This course, and the accompanying 20-page PDF INSIDER’S GUIDE, includes:
- Checklists
- Quick clarity quizzes
- Comparison tables for fast reference
For those more detail-oriented, it also includes additional input and explanations.
Hope this helps you decide what’s best for you—hiring a pro or DIYing it!
The class project is actually right at the beginning of the course: Take the Quiz. Then, assess your honest answers using the scoring card, the input/feedback I share, and of course, your own gut feelings, preferences, desires, budget, time, commitment, etc.
