Why is a Resume
and Cover Letter Important?
A strong resume and cover letter
combination is your only chance to land an interview. The
average hiring manager will review over 1,000 resumes to
fill a single position listed on popular job sites like
Monster or in the classifieds sections of major
newspapers. Faced with this daunting task, the hiring
manager looks for reasons not to interview you and
may even use a computerized resume tracking system
to screen out 90% of the resumes.
A ResumeEdge resume can
...
- Enhance your
lifetime earning potential. We have helped clients
add $40,000 to their annual income and over $1 million
to their lifetime earning potential. Undermarketing

Dramatically
increase your resume success rate and secure you more
interviews than you ever thought possible. We will
make your resume stand out from the six-inch stack of
homemade resumes on a busy hiring manager's desk.
Shorten your time spent searching for a job.
According to the US Dept. of Labor, the average
job search time is longer than three months. The time
saved searching for a job translates into tens of
thousands of dollars in salary for many of our
unemployed clients.
Eliminate the screen-out factors that relegate
many resumes to the trash. Do you have a typo? Do
you use the word "I"? Do you address the employer's
value proposition? Do you sound like a boss's nightmare?
You would be surprised how many screen-out factors the
average resume contains.
Ensure you rank
highly in a computerized resume tracking system like
Resumix or Monster. Currently, half of all mid-sized
and almost all large companies scan resumes into a
computerized tracking system, which is searched for
keywords by hiring managers.
Put you in control of your
interview by steering your interviewer away from
potential weaknesses. Interviewers love to focus on
resume liabilities like extended time off, frequent job
changing, etc. We write your resume to minimize
potential liabilities and showcase your strengths.
