Is a Resume Enough for an Effective Job Search?

A resume is essential for an effective job search, but it should not represent your entire job search effort. A resume alone will not find you a job. You need to network, both in person and online; you need to polish your interviewing skills, so you are ready when your resume wins you an interview; and if you are unemployed, you need to keep yourself motivated and your skills fresh, perhaps through volunteer or part-time work.

I am a Job and Career Transition Coach (JCTC). I know how difficult it is after a long career to change fields or find new employment, while simultaneously developing razor-sharp skills in resume writing, networking, interviewing and self-motivation. I help people focus their job search and locate resources they may not have considered. I craft resumes that strengthen their appeal to potential employers and also confirm their self-worth.

Is your resume merely an update of the same resume you last sent out 5 or 20 years ago? Does your job search depend exclusively on newspaper or online ads? Are you nervous about networking? If so, my skills as a coach and professional resume writer can help you reach a new level of effectiveness in your job search. Email Robin’s Resumes® today.

Choosing a Resume Writer

When you are choosing a resume writer, you need to ask questions. Here are four of the most important questions and my own answers.

  1. What types of certifications do you have? Robin’s Answer: I am a Certified Professional Resume Writer (CPRW), Certified Advanced Resume Writer (CARW), a Certified Electronic Career Coach (CECC) and a Job and Career Transition Coach (JCTC).
  2. What specialties do you have? Robin’s Answer:  I am a Certified Federal Resume Writer; I have written many successful resumes for federal personnel and for civilians hoping to land a federal job.
  3. Have you ever written a resume for someone in my field? Robin’s Answer: Like most long-time resume writers (I have written resumes for over 10 years), I  have written resumes for a wide variety of professionals at all levels from entry to CEO. But I also tend to attract job hunters in technology fields, usually from word-of-mouth referrals. I am a former process engineer and project manager. I understand technology and what technology companies are looking for, whether they need an IT professional, a supply chain manager or a chemical engineer.
  4. What do your resumes look like? Robin’s Answer: I supply several samples on my website under Civilian and Federal Resumes. If you like what I delivered for other job seekers, you will like what I deliver for you. I want your resume to impress future employers but I also want it to make you feel confident. That confidence will help carry you through your job hunt and interviews.
