When Do I Need a New Resume?

As you go through your career, you establish new experiences and acquire new skills. This reflects a changing picture of you as a potential employee. Ideally, you should have a new resume every time you acquire experience or skills that materially change or improve your worth as a potential hire. Have you taken a Spreadsheet Class lately? Did you close the biggest account in your company's history last month? You need to change your resume to reflect these new, powerful selling points.

In short: every time you're seeking a new job, you need a new resume. This is especially true if you've been out of the job market for several years.

Do I Need a Cover Letter?

In almost all cases, the answer is yes. This goes for scannable resumes and electronic resumes as well. A cover letter is a professional courtesy that is as important and as traditional as a handshake or a "thank-you." It accompanies any resume you send, and is a way of introducing yourself, and explaining why this resume has shown up on the reader's desk. Follow-up letters are a similar courtesy that you send after an interview or phone conversation. They are just a polite way of reminding your contact that you're there, and you 're still interested in the job.

All the cover letters and follow-up letters we design can be used multiple times. We simply write a personalized, professional body to the letter, based upon your unique personal information. The documents can be edited just like any word doc allowing a change of address and or the recipient's name. This way, you can use our cover letters and follow-up letters every time you send out a resume.

Because the cover letter is the best way to make a personal appeal to grab the recruiter's attention. Simply click the option below, and begin filling out our forms. Just enter your information and the staff will craft a personalized cover letter based on your needs and the conditions of your job-search. This process is quick. We can have the cover letter back to you usually within 24-48 hours!

The best part is, these cover letters are completely reusable! We carefully craft the important writing in the body of the letter. We sell your strengths and your accomplishments in a professional, convincing way. But the aspects of the letter that change each time you send off a new resume—the company address, the name of the position, how you heard of the position, etc.—are left in a convenient template format for you to fill in as needed. The cover letters we write are so versatile, you may never need a new cover letter again! You can simply use ours over and over for years!

What is an E-Resume?

An e-resume is a specially formatted text-only version of your resume. The format in question is called ASCII format. This formatting allows the text to be sent over all electronic medias, while retaining its margins and tabs. Have you ever cut and pasted something into an email only to have the text get jumbled and scrambled when you send the document? ASCII formatting prevents this from happening.

When do you use an e-resume? When you submit your resume to online job search site like HotJobs.com (and many others) they request that you cut and paste your current resume into their forms so they can post it to their network. If your resume is not in proper e-resume format, you run the risk of having your formatting show up jumbled.

Also, some corporations and recruiters don't accept file attachments. They request that you send your resume in the body of an email only. A properly formatted ASCII e-resume allows you to cut and paste your resume into the body of an email, send it over any email system in the world, and be sure that your resume will look the same no matter where it is sent.

What is a Scannable Resume?

Many corporations and job banks store resumes in large databases. To do this, they use scanners to scan resumes into their computers. Later on, when they need to fill job openings, they simply go through their electronic database and find candidates to fill these posts. Scannable resumes require specific page designs because computer scanners cannot read certain items. Here is a short list of no-no's that might keep your resume from being scanned properly:

Colored paper / Font sizes or typeface that is too small (anything below 10 pt.)
Italics / Underlining /
Hollow bullets (as opposed to the solid, black bullets that are used in this list)
Using # for bullets / Boxes / Column designs / Vertical lines
Vertical dates (always use horizontal dates: 1957-1959)

If you are applying to a job bank or a medium to large-sized corporation or company, you must have a scannable copy of your resume. A scannable resume is an invaluable part of your job searching arsenal because you never know when you'll need one. When applying for work, it's a good idea to phone ahead of time and find out if the company you are applying to scans their resume submissions
