Revising Resumes and Tailoring Materials

Menu of Services Career assessment Investigating professional options Revising resumes and tailoring materials Developing a customized search plan Improving networking and interviewing skills Guidance on negotiating terms of employment

Professionals in a particular field often think that their experience speaks for itself. It is not uncommon for job seekers to many make only minor updates and submit the same traditional resume for every job to which they apply and then express surprise when not called in for an interview.

Tailoring a resume to specific postings can be a time-consuming process, but an employer often receives many resumes from attorneys and other professionals who are interested in leaving highly paid positions. To stand out in that context, it is critically important to demonstrate that you are not simply running away from a job you do not like but rather running toward a specific position in an area where you have genuine interest, applicable experience, and transferable skills. Taking the time to tailor your materials to each application can produce a significant return on investment.

Neville Career Consulting helps each client to:

• Present information effectively in resumes and cover letters, tailoring them to specific areas or individual postings
• Turn a resume into a marketing tool rather than a summary of experience
• Review resumes and experience from an employer's perspective, highlighting achievements and experience that clearly relate to the job you want to have
