There Are Very Good Reasons to Get a Professionally Written Resume

Would you fit your own new kitchen? Or service your own car? Do your own income tax return? Rewire your house? Some people do. Some people no doubt could do all those things. However, more than likely you would engage someone to do a professional job for you. Resumes are no different.

The decision to outsource your resume isn’t a luxury. If you’re not adept at creative sales writing, it’s an essential purchase. Your professional resume is possibly one of the most important documents you can ever have. It can unlock your entire working career and enable you to realise your full professional and financial potential. Its impact can last decades.

What Will You Get Out of the Investment?

The main thing you will benefit from is standing on the shoulders of giants. A professionally written resume is the combined efforts of a team of seasoned experts. Each will have many years of experience both in writing winning resumes and in human resources. And with editors and designers who will polish the content to perfection – you will have the best chance for success.

Some people think it’s to admit defeat to have to get a professionally written resume. The fact is you are excellent at what you do, but no-one expects you to be an expert in everything. If anyone’s at fault it’s those who think that “anyone can write a resume”. This is patently not true and it grossly underestimates the importance of a document that could be life-changing for you. A professionally written resume has to fulfil a lot of criteria. Even if you’re writing skills are superb you may not cover all the bases.

Your resume has to be part-biography, part-sales pitch, part-concise career and qualification rundown. It also has to hold the readers’ attention, be grammatically perfect, linguistically articulate and convey your understanding of the position and field you are applying for. That’s a lot of boxes to tick in one compelling and persuasive document.

Another Key Reason to Invest in a Professionally Written Resume

At Melbourne Resume Writers, the most common thing our writers hear during client consultations is “I’m no good at selling myself”.  It’s a truism that many people don’t like talking about themselves. They see it as being egotistical or being too conceited. Well, if there’s one time in your life for blowing your own trumpet – it’s on your resume. We’re here to market you in the best light possible.

So don’t think of hiring a company to prepare a professionally written resume as an expense borne of panic and resignation. Think of it as a very shrewd and considered investment in your future.
