Whatever your field or level of seniority, Clarity’s resume/cover letter writing services provide the following:
- A one-on-one partnership with a resume writer through the entire resume/cover letter development and editing process. We offer personal attention from a professional writer from the time you submit your current resume, or request a cover letter, through the full resume/cover letter development cycle, and until your completed resume and/or cover letter are approved by you.
- An original, tailored resume and/or cover letter.
- We craft your resume according to your goals, target industry and position, experience, and qualifications. We do not mass produce resumes or use generalized templates, but rather create a custom resume that is unique to you.
- Similarly, we write each cover letter so that it addresses the specific position(s) to which you are applying, including the particular skills, experience, and other qualifications required for the position(s). We do not write all-purpose cover letters, but rather develop targeted communications that employers recognize as thoughtful and individual.
- Keyword optimization and industry-specific language. Your resume must contain the verbiage that your potential employers will be looking for, and must strategically place this verbiage for immediate visibility and swift understanding. This is critical whether your resume will be reviewed manually or scanned into a database.
- Three versions of your resume and cover letter: a print version in Microsoft Word, a Portable Document Format (PDF) version, and a scannable version.
- The print version will use visually enhanced formatting, and if appropriate, graphics such as certification or association logos. This version will enable you to send your resume/cover letter via email attachment, fax, or “snail mail.” Note that Clarity will use either Microsoft Word version 97-2003 (with a .doc filename extension) or 2007 (with a .docx filename extension), depending upon which is compatible for you.
- The PDF will enable you to confidently send your resume to any recipient regardless of their word processing technology.
- The scannable version will remove all special formatting so that your resume is a very basic, text-only document. This version will enable you to send your resume/cover letter in the body of online application forms that request it.
- Your choice of turnaround time. Our standard offering is 48-72 hours (two to three business days) for a completed resume and/or cover letter. However, for those times when application deadlines are imminent, you can choose a 24-hour turnaround.
- Unlimited revisions for up to [time frame].
- Complete satisfaction. We work with you until you are happy with the finished product. This means that we encourage and incorporate your feedback through as many review cycles as necessary in order to produce a resume/cover letter that you are excited to use.
