Jen's Resume Writing for Results

Introduction: Not getting results from your current resume, cover letter, and other job search materials? Want to take your dull, boring resume and bring it to life with metrics that matter most to employers? Having trouble writing and designing a compelling, attractive package of job search communications that get you noticed and invited for interviews? Worry no more: I can help! Hi, I’m Jen Viano. With 20 years under my belt using words to engage and persuade, I’m a writer with specialized training and experience in crafting resumes and other job search materials that make employers sit up, lean in, and extend interviews. The truth is this: Most of the resumes that come across hiring managers’ screens and desks are VERY weak. That’s because the majority of job seekers aren’t skilled in how to write effective job search communications. They tend to focus on “what they’ve done” instead of results accomplished through their activities that directly correlate with results the employer wants to achieve. But, your materials don’t need to suffer this way. With my help, you can more effectively tell the story of what happened because you showed up to work every day: The results you achieved. The success you’ve brought to employers. And why your unique value makes you the very best candidate for positions you're applying for. Writing services you can hire me for include: *New Resumes *Resume Updates *New Cover Letters *References Dossiers *Interview Thank You Letters/Emails *Interview Follow-Up Letters/Emails A popular service I offer is my "Basic Job Search Package," which includes: *Initial review of your current resume/cover letter and your background/experience/job search goals, including an in-depth questionnaire. *Preparation of first drafts of a new resume and cover letter within 3-5 business days after receipt of questionnaire. *Two rounds of edits to arrive at final drafts. *A thank you letter/email for use after an interview. *My "Interviewing Tips and Techniques" PDF that provides recommended steps for you to take to prepare for and be successful during interviews.

Here are a few testimonials from past clients: "Working with Jen, you’ll be impressed. I recently worked with her for new job search materials and consulting on my search. Not only do my resume, cover letter and other materials look incredible, but her customer service is top-notch. With new my materials, I’ve been able to land a fantastic administrative position that pays significantly more than my old one!” Michele E. "Jen assisted me with my resume, which I thought was already in good shape, but as a busy communications exec, I felt having an unbiased writer take a swing at it, would make it stronger. I had never met her personally, never spoken to her on the phone, and was only able to judge her character and work via email correspondence and samples that she provided. I am very pleased how well my selection turned out. I liken doing your own resume to teaching someone how to tie their shoe. When you are so 'into' your own everyday life, tasks, and projects, you will struggle to see your own accomplishments and find it difficult to put down on paper in a way that showcases you as you deserve to be. Jen made my resume and cover letter the strong package it deserved to be. She's detail-oriented, delivered quickly as promised, and was a pleasure to converse with.” Cherrie M. "Jen took my mess of a resume and turned it into more than I thought it could be. Exceptional service and very professional." Blake B.
