Choosing a Resume Writing Company That Fits Your Needs

Your resume is a precious thing; in many ways, your career trajectory could boil down to how well your resume lays out your achievements, your skills, and your value as an employee. That’s why more and more jobseekers trust their resume writing needs to the pros—but wait. Before you sign on the dotted line with a resume writing team, it’s smart to do some due diligence. Make sure your resume writers have the skills and perspective needed to help you shine—and if they don’t, look for help somewhere else!

What to Ask Your Resume Writing Team

As you vet potential resume writers, here are some questions you might ask.

What kind of resume writing experience do you have?

At the end of the day, anyone can say that they are professional resume writers—but you want to work with someone who has real experience. Seek resume writers who have been doing it for a while, and who handle a large volume of resumes.

Do you have experience writing resumes for my industry/field?

For the most part, resumes are pretty standard across the board—but in some fields (education, pastoral ministry, etc.) the conventions might be a little bit different. Make sure your resume writer understands the specifics of your field.

May I see a sample resume that you’ve done?

Any reputable resume writing company will be glad to provide you with a sample of their work.

Do you work with recruiters?

Some resume companies actually work closely with recruiting firms, ensuring that they are always up-to-date on what recruiters and employers are looking for. This isn’t necessarily a deal breaker, but it’s always a good sign when your resume writer is in cahoots with a recruiter.

How to you stay current on resume writing practices?

Ask about how your resume writer pursues ongoing training, education, and certification.

What is the process like?

Ask your resume writer to walk you through the process; it needs to be something you feel comfortable with, or else why bother?

Why do you love writing resumes?

We really recommend working with someone who has a passion for resume writing; this helps ensure a truly excellent job, rather than a workmanlike one.
