Most résumés are never read.
If a résumé makes it past the algorithms whose jobs are to filter out all but the most qualified candidates, a potential employer will scan it in 6 seconds. When the job market is tight and the competition is stiff, even those 6 seconds may be more than you’ll get.
So your résumé and an engaging cover letter must immediately grab their attention and convince them that you are worth a full minute of their time. And if granted that minute, every second must showcase what makes you stand out against the competition and convince them you’re worth an interview.
The Syracuse Pen will write, revise, or update your résumé and cover letter to get you the most out of those 6 seconds or less. I provide personalized service to make sure your résumé helps you reach your goal and get that interview.
My primary goals are:
To elevate your résumé to the top of the pile using ATS-optimized formatting
To emphasize the most marketable skills you have for the job you want
To clear unnecessary information that distracts the reader from your message
To use visual techniques to make the reader want to review the entire page
To eliminate spelling, grammatical, and punctuation errors
To ensure consistency in style and fine details
To make your application stand out against hundreds of others
To provide a cover letter and LinkedIn profile that complement your résumé for maximum impact
To get you that interview
