The Resume Target Method

Your Resume Becomes Proof You're the
Best Candidate in Chicago

When a hiring manager reads your resume, they should think:

"This person has solved the exact problems we're facing."

1. We Dive Into Your Projects

What were the projects or initiatives you worked on? We probe to understand the scope, the stakes, and the significance.

"Tell me about the biggest project you led last year..."

2. We Uncover the Goals

What were the goals of the project? The company's objectives? Your specific responsibilities? We connect your work to business outcomes.

"What was the company trying to achieve with this?"

3. We Document Your Systems

What systems, processes, and strategies did you implement to achieve those goals? This is where your expertise becomes visible.

"Walk me through how you actually made this happen..."

The Result?

Your resume clearly articulates
to every hiring manager:

If your company is going through these problems —

here's the PROOF of how I can help.

Our Chicago resume writers have experience across 60+ industries including Finance, Healthcare, Aviation, Consumer Goods, and more. We match you with a writer who understands your industry's specific requirements and keywords.

What's the difference between Resume Target and AI resume writers?+

The biggest difference? We start by asking: What are you trying to accomplish? Where are you now, and where do you want to go? From there, we create a custom interview plan designed to probe and capture exactly what makes you the right hire.

AI can't do this. It can't conduct a 1-on-1 interview, uncover achievements you've forgotten, or understand the nuances of your career story. Our human writers ask the questions that reveal accomplishments you've dismissed as "just doing my job." The result is a resume that positions you as the obvious choice — not a generic document that sounds like everyone else's.
