Best Resumes

 


Unemployment is rising and the job market is becoming more competitive by the day.

What will you do to stand out? Is your RESUME ready???

When it comes to YOUR resume, there is room for only one place and that's FIRST place.

...Would you benefit from a resume that will SHORTEN your job search?
...Would you benefit from a resume that will give you a COMPETITIVE EDGE?
...Would you benefit from a resume that will help you GET PAID WHAT YOU ARE WORTH?
...Would you benefit from a resume that will OPEN DOORS to the career you want most?
...Would you benefit from a resume that will WIN YOU ATTENTION and get your phone ringing?

It doesn't matter whether you are just starting out in the workforce or if you are a seasoned professional looking for career advancement.

You're resume must do one thing--and only one thing: Get you in front of the person who can say "You're Hired!"

Think about it. Unless you get the interview, it doesn't matter how "close" you came.

Second place is last place. There's no welcoming handshake for the runners-up. To beat the competition, content and presentation are what count.

The bottom line is results!

At Distinctive Documents, we create and write resumes that consistently generate TOP RESULTS. Balancing powerful, achievement-focused content with distinctive, eye-catching design, we GUARANTEE that your resume will get you noticed and get you interviews.

The job market has become increasingly competitive with the dramatic rise in downsizings, rightsizings, bankruptcies, acquisitions and mergers, corporate reorganizations, off-shoring initiatives, and layoffs. With companies receiving up to 10,000 resumes monthly and recruiters receiving as many as 1,500 resumes for a single job opening, how will YOU stand out?

Will your resume stand out in the flood of paper and email? You have only 15 seconds to make the cut. Does your resume GRAB HOLD of the reader, COMMAND attention, and COMPEL a phone call? Does it rise to the top of the cut? Or does it fall flat, getting lost in the shuffle of your competition?

Do you feel FRUSTRATED by the lack of response when you send out your resume to recruiters, in response to ads, or directly to companies?
Has your phone sat IDLE, refusing to ring, even though you know you are the best qualified person for the job?

Have you WORRIED that your resume doesn’t quite stack up in comparison to that of your peers and competitors in the job market?

Have you had your ego clobbered by being PASSED OVER for key promotions that you were certain you had locked up?

Have you been invited to an interview only to STUMBLE and stutter UNCOMFORTABLY when asked to describe the value that you bring to the job?


Imagine what it would be like if you felt the utmost confidence in sending out your resume, knowing with absolute certainty that it would sell you as the PERFECT candidate for the job you are targeting?

How would your job search be different if you had top-notch tools and resources at your fingertips, empowering you to move forward with energy, drive, and commitment to a quick victory in your search?

Imagine if you actually had MULTIPLE job offers to choose from and if your resume was so successful in convincing employers of your value that you were offered salary packages HIGHER than anything you had dared hope for?

What would a new career opportunity mean to you?

...More security? ... Higher pay?A better working environment?Exciting new challenges?A more rewarding and fulfilling professional life? …A major lifestyle change you have been dreaming about?Well-earned recognition of your hard work all these years?

Many successful, upwardly mobile professionals have something in common. They recognize that at its core, a job search is marketing. They know that first impressions are VITAL and that they can NEVER regain a lost opportunity. They understand that the investment made in securing help from a career marketing expert is an investment that will pay rewards for life.

Don’t waste another day sending out an ineffective, less-than-competitive resume! You only have ONE CHANCE to make a first impression. Make it count!

Top Results

Hooking up with Michelle Dumas and Distinctive Documents three years ago was like adding rocket fuel to my career trajectory. I subsequently was promoted from senior writer to editorial creative director and then editor in chief with Muscle & Fitness, a major national fitness magazine. Concurrently, I also opened a series of new freelance writing accounts, including one with Men’s Health, the world’s largest men’s magazine, and signed three progressively more lucrative book deals, most recently with LL Cool J as my collaborator.

In every instance, the resume Michelle initially created for me, and the lasting impression it leaves, cracked open the door. It’s an amazing confidence builder to sit down for an interview with the CEO of a major American publishing company and have him look down and say, “Wow--that’s a really impressive resume.” And the fact that a professional writer turns to her for assistance tells you how good she is.

I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that hiring Michelle was the best investment I’ve ever made in my career. I probably have been repaid 100-fold for what I spent.

Above and beyond the quality of Michelle’s work, the way she goes about doing it is a revelation. Her adherence to process, deadlines and quality control is so unyielding that I’ve been inspired to apply it to my own work as well. When she says something, she inevitably holds herself to it, which is rare these days.

In sum, to anyone looking for a resume consultant, I give Michelle Dumas the highest recommendation I can possibly give to another person: A+, five stars, you name it. You won’t be disappointed.

Superb Quality

I give Michelle my highest recommendations. Yes it may seem like a lot of money to invest but the difference can be made up on your first paycheck in your new career. It is my personal experience that you get "more than you pay for" with the quality Michelle provides...
