The Cost of Being Unemployed or Underpaid

What does it cost you to be unemployed for one week? Or to continue to be underpaid for one more week? Put a dollar figure on it.

According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average job search now lasts 18 weeks. Given that the typical American worker takes home $34,020 in salary, those 18 weeks between jobs can add up to a stunning $11,776 in lost paychecks!

Consider that a professional resume gives you a distinct advantage over other job seekers. In fact, a focused, targeted, professionally-written resume can reduce your job search time by weeks or even months. OK, now you can see the value of a professional resume!

Loyal Customers Speak Out!

Dear Jennifer-

Before I found your resume coaching service, I thought my resume was pretty good but I knew something was missing. I had applied to several jobs, with no results. The whole job search process was becoming extremely discouraging.

Your resume coaching helped take my resume up not just one or two notches--but 10! I was really impressed by the time and consideration you took when coaching me through the writing process. You had some simple but fantastic ideas that really made a difference to the look and feel of my resume. I also appreciated your "special reports"--information-packed articles that explain how to create a powerful resume....

Now, I look at my resume and think--wow! I truly AM qualified for the positions I’m applying for and it shows! I’m already scheduled for one interview--and I’m just barely getting started with my new resume. I feel confident now with my new "resume-writing skills" to tailor my resume to just about any kind of position I want. Your style is clear, concise and very informative. I would highly recommend your resume coaching services to anyone serious about finding a new job and making a powerful impact with their resume.... Thanks again for all your help!

Professional Resumes in the Headlines

"If candidates want to get noticed they need to write a clear and compelling resume. I will contend that the majority of candidates send in resumes that prove the fact that they did not take the time and effort to really communicate well. It says a lot about a candidate who can quickly, clearly, and accurately communicate in writing what they bring to the table. Why don't more candidates pay a professional resume writer to draft them a resume that will get them noticed? Getting a job is all about communicating and marketing your skills. The responsibility is on the candidate, not the recruiter."

Eric Hoagberg, Technical Recruiter, "Why Job Applicants Date HR," Workforce, September, 2002

Everyone's an Expert!

A resume is one of those things where everyone's an expert—or are they? If you show your resume to any three people, you will probably get three different suggestions on how to improve it.

One person might tell you that you need to cut your resume down to one page. ("And how come no references are listed?") Another might say that you should have listed all of your hobbies, plus the fact that you won the school spelling bee in the fourth grade. The third person might tell you that your resume is boring—that the way to grab attention is to print your resume on neon paper.

So, one of the problems with resumes is that everyone is an expert, but few are qualified. How to find a qualified resume expert? Look no further! Simplify Your Life Career Service's resumes are carefully crafted by a certified resume writer. Our professional resumes incorporate superior writing skill as well as expertise in layout, design, editing, and self-promotion/marketing. Check out our professional resume service today!

Why hire a professional resume writer?

You can buy simple services such as word processing, basic layout, editing, and laser printouts from secretarial and typing services. Note that there is a big difference between basic word processing services and the resume services provided by a professional resume writer.

A print shop or secretarial service might charge you $50 to $100 to typeset your resume, but such a service will not fix your grammar errors, improve your wording, ask for additional information, or spend much time formatting it. Secretarial or print shop services will normally spend about half an hour on your resume. What in the short term appears to be the least expensive option could very well be more expensive in the long run.

Services from experienced professional resume writers cost more, but you get more. Professional resume writers spend an hour or more with you going over your career goals, work experience, past accomplishments, and education. Then they will spend three, four, or more hours writing your resume and creating a design and format to present you in the most attractive way.

The value in hiring a professional resume writer is as much in what you learn about yourself as in the resume itself, because a professional writer will help you identify key skills and present them in a convincing way. A resume writer will also give you resume tips to overcome specific problems and job search advice that is not easily obtained in any other way. Check out our resume service and career coaching services for additional information.
