Dear Friend,

U.S. employment has undergone dramatic and long lasting change over the decade. It’s has evolved into more complex and sophisticated process. The times have changed and the market has changed. There’s more competition than ever before. Remember the days when you, mailed a handful of resumes to recruiters and a handful in response to advertisements? Within a week you were interviewing and within 2-3 weeks you were working. If you remember this, forget it! Because there are many good candidates out there and because applying for positions has gotten to be almost too easy – particularly thanks to the 24/7 convenience of the Internet where you can type in some basic information, attach your resume and apply for a position in a mere matter of minutes … maybe even seconds once you’ve been doing it for a while. Because applying for positions has gotten so easy, companies are being swamped with resumes from job-seekers who basically apply for any and every position that they are even remotely interested in.

What does this mean for you?

It means that according to the latest statistics, you have a 1 in 200 chance of being invited for an interview. That’s right, statistics say that for every 200 resumes a hiring manager views today, one of those candidates is invited for an interview. Statistics also say that the hiring manager will scan not read your resume, leaving you with about 10 to 20 seconds to convince him or her that you instead of one of the other 199 candidates you are competing against should be interviewed.

Sounds pretty daunting, doesn’t it? But with Professional Resumes there is hope. That there are things you can do to craft a terrific resume that gets you noticed, gets you interviewed and gets you your dream job … all without buying outrageously high fees to a professional resume writer!
