Got the Résumé Blues?
- Michele Angello, Professional Résumé Writer, CPRW

Ever get that sinking feeling that your résumé is not as good as it should be?

Have you looked at résumé books or samples online and wondered what you could do to make your résumé look that good?

Have you ever copied someone else’s résumé format – or even the words?

Have you been looking for a job for ages?

If you can relate to any of this, then here’s something to consider…

It’s rough writing a résumé, and it’s rough looking for a job. I talk to people all the time and I hear the crazy stories about companies, job searches – really sad stuff. It really bugs me that people have to go through this kind of mess!

What should happen during your job search is this –

When your résumé looks great - there is a huge difference in how you feel about it and the reactions you get. First of all, you should be able to read it and feel pretty darn proud of yourself. That’s because if you do feel a little puffed up, then it probably accurately reflects everything you have accomplished in your work and education. And, I know it sounds strange, but if you send it out feeling that way, then you have set yourself up for good reactions when it’s read by a stranger. (Sorry, didn’t mean to get all touchy feely there. I’ll stop. :-) )

Also, when you send your résumé out, you should get calls for multiple interviews right away. And when you show it to friends and family, you should hear comments like “Wow, I didn’t know you did that.” or “Looks good, don’t change a thing.” “I think I know someone who could use someone like you.”

Of course, the best and easiest way to get this reaction is to hire a professional résumé writer to write it for you. (I just happen to know one! ;-) ) But if you are a do-it yourselfer (like I am,) or just don’t have the money to spend, then you need another solution.

Did you make these mistakes on your résumé?

  • Did you use the header from the MS template that 75% of people do? If you did, you could be fading into the background along with millions of other résumés that look  just like yours!
  • Did you use Times New Roman or Arial as your font? Then you’ve used what 90% of résumés do, and don’t look unique at all. Not good!
  • How to turn the most common résumé mistake into an interviewing triumph.
  • Don’t put this one sentence into your résumé, or you’ll be about 10 years out of date. (Hint - most people put it at the top of the first page.)
  • Rush through and make this mistake, and it’ll mean that no matter how good your  résumé is, no one will call you.
  • Did your dates go in the best place, or did you hang them on the left of the page – in the worst place possible?

See, the thing is, résumé writing is an art. And I don’t just say that because I’m a résumé writer, but because I’m told that all the time. I write résumés for people who are very good writers themselves - even journalists and copywriters.

But not everyone can or chooses to pay the price of hiring me, so I decided that I would create a quick-reading, easy-to-follow guide that would show people how to do what I do for my clients - for themselves.

This resource represents what I’ve learned in 9 long years of writing résumés fulltime. It started with what I learned when I earned my professional résumé writer certification (CPRW), learned from communicating with other professional résumé writers daily for 9 years, from writing hundreds of résumés for my clients, from writing hundreds of résumés for well-known, national résumé websites, and finally what I know that made the most renowned résumé writers in the country pick my resumes to go in their books.

There’s a lot of hard-earned experience that I’ve crammed into only 10 pages. You get the benefit of all my experience, as well as every professional résumé writer or source I’ve ever learned from over the years. And it’s set up in a way that you can read it and follow along as you work on your résumé and in just a few hours, come out with a résumé that’ll make you and yo’ mama proud.

I wanted to be absolutely sure that anyone using this guide would get the best information out there on writing their résumé. So I included:

  • The 3 easy tricks for adding some classy looking style to your résumé, and exactly how to do it in MS Word.
  • The 2 little words that will amp up every résumé
  • 3 ways to get shrink your résumé to fit onto 1 or 2 pages
  • The 6 best, nicest looking fonts
  • 5 unique headers to use
  • The free website with 1000’s of keywords specific to every career field
  • My résumé writing secret weapon
  • 15 rules for résumé writing success

If you’ve looked around for a professional résumé writer, you know that it’s hard to hire one for under two hundred bucks. My packages run from $400 to $1,800 and are worth every penny. This booklet that I’ve developed is the closest you can get to hiring a professional writer and gives you all my knowledge, expertise and experience – everything I do for my clients that pay hundreds, if not thousands of dollars.

But, I’ve decided that even though this is a very valuable resource, I wanted to make it available to anyone who needs it for a reasonable price. You'll download your own PDF version within a few minutes of ordering for only $37. You’ll then be on your way to creating a powerful, jazzed up, new résumé that will help you get interviews faster.

I know how it is - thinking that if you order something online, you really don’t know if it’s going to be worth it – no matter how low the price. I’m going to take away all that worry with a nice little guarantee.

If you buy this e-book, apply the easy steps to your existing résumé and you don’t see a big improvement in your résumé, I’ll refund every penny of the $37, no questions asked. Or you have the option of emailing me your résumé that you have improved based on my techniques, and I’ll give you personal feedback on what you have left to do to jazz up your résumé and make it work for you – no charge. I usually charge $65 an hour to do any kind of revamp work. Either way you are covered. Pretty good little guarantee, huh?

I know The Jazzed up Résumé Guide is a fantastic value, something that will benefit anyone with a better résumé and a faster job search. It’s expensive being out of work, and can cost you $1,153 a week to be out of work if you make 60K a year. Ouch. Just a $37 investment can help you make sure that you find a better job – faster.

Once you see it for yourself, I’m sure you’ll agree.

Sincerely,

Michele Angello, CPRW
