Resume Standout Service
NYC Resume, Interview & Online Prep has a unique and exciting formula/service called “ResumeStandouts” that we use to create resumes that truly standout for Clients in this competitive job market. Many believe resumes are a summary of your professional experiences and education. A resume is in fact “the” marketing tool that makes the first impression to get you through the door or pushes you to the No pile.
Trying to get your resume through all the levels of screening to land that interview is no easy task. Given my 15 plus years of experience at the front line of hiring, Human Resources and Career development including work within Fortune 50 companies, I have keen insight into what companies are looking for at all stages within the applicant screening and hiring process.
Here’s what typically happens with your resume:
- Your resume goes through a software that searches for key words companies feel are key indicators that you are the right candidate for the position. Based on this technical evaluation, if proper key words are not present, you will likely not be considered beyond this stage. Format must be appropriate as well for this screening. Keep in mind, no human eyes have seen your resume yet.
- For the next level, formatting must be crisp and clean, content must be focused, easy to scan and the right action verbs and descriptive language must be strategically placed.
- Recruiters / Human Resources generally review resumes that pass through the next level. Keep in mind, due to the volume of resumes, they typically only spend seconds on their first pass through to see if the resume deserves further consideration. Job seekers must focus the content and format of their resume so that it quickly shows that the candidate is worth considering. At this point, they identify a handful of resumes that truly stand out that will be sent to the Hiring Manager.
- Once you pass through the various levels, Hiring Managers very briefly review the resume for relevant skills, content, focus and readability among other things. Only at this stage will a select number of candidates be contacted for an interview.

Benefits of a Professional Resume
Typically resuming writing is not your area of expertise. A computer programmer needs to be talented at writing code. A business analyst analyzes business or financial models. In most professions, you don’t need to be the best resume writer, you just need to do your homework and hire one. Hiring resume writing services to create resumes that truly stand out takes the guess work out of this process. Even if you are an amazing writer, a resume takes a certain approach. We can help create a resume that showcases your talents in the best light.
The job search process is a mystery. You know you have the qualifications for a certain position but your resume seems to fall into a black hole. One of the biggest reasons why people use professional resume writing services is because they are not getting calls for interviews. Most likely your resume doesn’t successfully pass through the applicant tracking system.
Some people use resume formats from decades ago and just update it to include there most recent jobs. This affects whether decision makers think you are relevant. It’s critical to have a template and writing style that fits today’s job market and the current screening process that is done by over 80% of companies.
The hiring manager only spends 10 seconds looking through your resume even if it makes it through the screening software. Are you able to pass the 10 second test? If your resume is not getting the attention it deserves, we can help.
