Why should I have my resume reviewed?

In today’s competitive job market, standing out is crucial - and it all begins with an impressive resume.

Your resume is more than just a document; it’s a strategic tool that should effectively communicate your skills, experiences, and value proposition to potential employers. It’s your first opportunity to make a lasting impression and to convince hiring managers that you’re the ideal candidate they’ve been seeking.

Did you know that most resumes never make it to the desk of a recruiter or hiring manager and are automatically rejected?

The main reason is the applicant tracking system (ATS), which is a recruitment software used by most companies nowadays. The ATS, driven by technology and algorithms, scans every incoming application to identify if it meets the requirements defined for the job. If the ATS can’t read your resume or if your matching score for the target job is too low, the application is either automatically rejected or gets a low score and put at the end of the pile.

During our almost twenty years of experience in coaching professionals, one of the main challenges we have observed is how to craft a compelling resume that captures the attention of both the ATS and potential employers. And this is despite the fact that our clients have great career trajectories; they just do not know how to market themselves. This causes a lot of frustration as applicants have to deal with rejections, sometimes not even hearing back at all.

The objective of our complimentary resume review service is to examine the status of your resume, pinpoint areas of improvement, and offer insightful feedback on enhancing its ability to communicate your professional value to prospective employers. All this while simultaneously meeting the criteria of the ATS.

Even if you believe your resume is already top-notch, it’s always worth getting a second opinion. Don’t leave anything to chance when it comes to your career!
