  Resumes

A really good, well written Professional Resume is vital for you to obtain a job in the current job market. I don’t believe in a one-template-fits-all structure. We personally tailor each resume to highlight your main strengths and skills in your chosen industry, making you a “must see” for any employer. Our Major Overhaul package includes an ‘ATS friendly’ set up of your pages so that it can easily be read by the ‘bots screening your documents.
