The first reason we know how valuable the applicant points of knowledge are include how much the field of applicant support has grown. There are now 2 non-profit professional trade associations for resume writers and career coaches - founded in 1990 and then 1997 respectfully. While we admire the need to professionally associate - we ask the same consideration for those job seeking that is made for those making MONEY off of those job seeking - that space to openly professionally associate without shame or fear of further career vulnerability when your goal is only to enhance and stabilize it. Sometimes the most beautiful thing isn't buying the fanciest clothes, the prettiest makeup and the most expensive stylist to match it together, it's taking it all off and realizing how beautiful and capable you and your community was the👏whole 👏 time. Stop by The Job Applicant Perspective on LinkedIn and other social media and get on our platform and anonymously share your story. #jobs #jobseekers #crowdsourced #crowdsourcing.

When I started my resume writing business, there was one thing I was aware of. That those who most need my services, might be those who can least afford them. So today I'm launching a new initiative. "I'm launching a fundraiser to support unemployed job seekers so they can receive complimentary resume reviews from me (link provided in the comments below). Every donation, regardless of the amount, will contribute towards funding free resume reviews for unemployed job seekers." Remember, we're all in this together and a small donation could help change someone's life. Thanks for your consideration. The link to the fundraiser is in the comments below for anyone who wants to help unemployed job seekers receive a free resume review. BTW, if you're not in a position to help, you can always like the post so that more people can see it.

99% of the CV's I see are lacking tangible results and achievements. If your new employer can't understand how you help and the level you work at, they can't know if you're for them. Every day, I unearth the impact my clients have made and support them to own it. This year alone I've uncovered big stuff, which without my careful questioning and not so gentle digging, wouldn't have gone on their CV's. I'm talking things like: Saving an employer £7M, Creating policy that ensured 300,000 members were looked after Raising £1M for charity None of these clients had these on their CV at the start of our sessions but they did at the end! The result: They all got the roles they wanted. You might be looking at this thinking that you haven't had that kind of impact. That's okay, these are just particularly big examples that they STILL weren't shouting about, but you absolutely will have some tangible achievements you can talk about. If you're not getting to interview right now, get in touch and I'll help you to uncover these and use them to make your applications so much stronger. I offer Power Hours and packages depending on what you need. Here's the link to book a call to discuss which service is for you https://lnkd.in/eZQ69r4b You DON'T need to know what these are when we start, it's my job to get them from you and I'm very good at it. Some days it's like tapping a hard boiled egg with a spoon, other days it's more of a pneumatic drill experience but you'll end up with applications that get you interviews as a result. It's a tough market but you don't need to apply for tons of jobs, you do need to apply for ones you're a great fit for and show them that. And that's where I come in.

Writing resumes for LEOs and Veterans is one of my favorite parts of my business.

If your resume looks like a relic, it's time for a New Year, New You transformation! Honestly, this template makes me cringe because it's the same one that's been used for 10+ years among some of the largest veteran non-profits. I always get a lot of pushback from the veteran non-profit people if I say anything negative about this resume template. I've heard it all, but mostly "This template has worked for 75K+ people." However, if you want to stand out, it's great to have an option to showcase your skills/experience in a new way. Send me a message, or a connection request and I will send you more info about our services, including a link to schedule a call with me or Jamie Burch, our Account Manager to discuss your career goals and resume writing services. #newyearnewyou #military #resumes #militarytransition
