How To Get the Most From Your Resume Writing Service

So, you have decided to take the plunge and hire a professional resume writer – awesome! You are now one step closer to beginning a new chapter in your career, and you don’t have to go through the process of writing a resume and cover letter alone.

Investing in your future resume like this can be a big decision – so we have put together a few tips to make sure the process is as effective and smooth as possible.  

Set out your goals 

Set some time aside to think about what you want in your career and your next role – what kind of company do you want to work with, what skills do you want to utilise, and what does your dream day-to-day look like?

Knowing these things will help you find roles that align with your own goals and help your professional writer create the best resume they can, whether it is a resume tailored for a specific job role or industry.

Tell your writer everything

No one knows your career history like you do, but your resume writer wants to!

When you are talking with your resume service provider, remember that no piece of information is too small. The more information you give, the more your writer has to work with.

At Clothier Careers we try to make this process as easy as possible for our clients by providing a detailed form for them to fill out. This online form includes questions about the clients' career history, goals, achievements, and education.

Often, this form provides enough information for our writers, but sometimes a phone call or email exchange is needed to dive deeper into our clients' history.

Choose your communication 

Whether you prefer picking up the phone or typing an email – the team at Clothier Careers is here for you. We know how important it is to communicate the way you want to – which is why we offer multiple forms of communication.

Trust your resume writer… 

We understand – putting your career in the hands of a service can be scary. But remember, your resume writer is a trained professional who wants you to succeed!

At Clothier Careers our writers are trained to know what needs to be on your resume, what employers are looking for, and how to ensure you make it through applicant tracking systems and stand out to hiring managers.

Sometimes this means that not all of your career history will make it onto your resume, but that is okay! Our resume writers will dive into your career history and present the information in a way that tells the hiring manager why you are right for the role. 

…But don’t be afraid to ask questions

Your resume writer wants you to be 110% satisfied with your resume, so do not be afraid to ask questions or seek clarification. Remember, no one knows your careers history better than you.
