Sound familiar? One conversation changed everything for James.
See how our process worksIn just 45 minutes, our writer uncovered what James couldn't see.
"I felt the individual I spoke to was invested in my career. They asked a lot of great questions."
As a seasoned supply chain and operations professional, James had spent years building his career with the same company and hadn't updated his resume in a long time. Unsure of where to even begin, he knew he needed to highlight his key accomplishments and projects but lacked the time and expertise to ensure his resume would stand out in today's competitive market.
While James is an expert in his own line of work, he wasn't sure how to highlight everything he had accomplished in the many years since his last resume. He was also unsure of what was required or even expected from a resume in today's competitive market.
So, James researched a long list of resume-writing options, specifically looking for services that met his three most important criteria: affordability, flexibility to accommodate his hectic schedule, and guaranteed results.
Drawn in by Resume Target's stellar reviews, James knew we were the right fit when he discovered our flexible services could accommodate all three of his criteria without compromising quality.
He booked a meeting with a resume advisor to ensure he selected the right service for his career level. Given his senior leadership experience in supply chain and operations management, our Senior Professional Service was the ideal match.
Before the call, our resume writer thoroughly reviewed his career history to prep for their 1-on-1 interview. Trained in the Resume Target Method™—designed by recruiters and hiring managers with decades of experience—our writer knew exactly how to dive into his background and zero in on what mattered most.
"I felt the individual I spoke to was invested in my career. They asked a lot of great questions."
James' experience was focused on complex, high-level projects with a lot of moving parts. While we wanted to showcase his varied, ever-changing experience, it was equally important to establish commonalities between his roles—notably his successes in process creation, implementation, and overall organization optimization.
Our resume writer opted to use a hybrid style resume to group similar responsibilities and highlight key accomplishments. This approach ensured that James communicated his unique value effectively, efficiently, and in a style in line with what his industry expects.
This format was best-suited to James' specific career trajectory, allowing for detail while keeping things concise and readable for potential employers. Understanding the needs of hiring managers, our resume writer took care to craft a resume highlighting his consistent responsibilities across over a decade of experience, while also showcasing his growth and topline achievements.
In the end, James received a fresh, current, and optimized resume that he's confident to use to pursue the next step in his career without hesitation. This was accomplished in an affordable, professional manner that aligned with James' demanding schedule.
While he came into this process not knowing where to even begin, James is now ready to leap at the next opportunity that comes his way.
Once James finalized his resume, our resume writer then worked to transfer the key takeaways, projects, and responsibilities to James' LinkedIn, providing him with an appealing, refreshed page that was fully optimized.
