Shine in your career. On paper. Online. In Person. On the Job.
Welcome to Artful Résumé Service, a company dedicated to helping people realize their dream careers.
We’ve heard it all before. "The résumé is your calling card. You have to market yourself." Yet when faced with a blank piece of paper or Word document in front of you, it can be a pretty daunting task. Your entire professional life - summarized and reduced to one or two pages. Where do you begin?
The question is…are you a good self-marketer? Résumés are a bit like online dating profiles. If you are great at writing about your personal attributes, there is no doubt you can create a very effective “social résumé” and make new connections. However, if you are the modest and unassuming type or just plain short on time and patience, you may enlist a friend to help you. Your friend, no doubt will glean and accentuate characteristics which may elude you on the social front. Some people kick it up a notch and hire a professional to create a profile and get it circulated by matchmakers.
The same concept applies to a résumé. If you have an eye toward self promotion, you will do a fantastic job. If you decide to seek assistance, the professional résumé writer will be your best advocate. Your strongest skills will be promoted so that your résumé captures the attention of recruiters (so-called "employment matchmakers") and direct hiring managers. Remember, the key is to be objective. If you are too close to the situation or not in a positive frame of mind, you may miss some of your critical skills and abilities. Such oversights could cost you that dream job.
It is a competitive market out there. One needs every possible advantage to get to the top of the pile. That’s where we come in. We are dedicated to helping professionals differentiate themselves from the rest of the pack. We help clients in a wide variety of fields identify and communicate their credentials and value on paper, online, in person for that all important interview, and on the job.
