Resume Writers
Posted by ayeshawrites4u on October 30, 2008
As someone who likes to stay current on trends, I came accross a Yahoo link discussing building a resume writing business. Ironically enough, this “expert” was advising new business owners that repeat business is bad. Of course, I could see why the writer would say this. I mean, if a client comes to you a week after writing the resume, then yeah, you have a problem. But to say repeat business, in general, is bad, doesn’t quite make sense.
I like to think of resume writers as doctors. Now if you’re anything like me, you probably only go to the doctor when you’re sick. But does that make sense? If you went for your annual checkup- could the doctor not have helped you to prevent a lot of “unforeseen” illnesses and have helped prepare you for those that were bound to come? Well, let’s liken this to a resume writer. Why wait until you’re unemployed and BROKE to hire a resume writer? Doesn’t it make more sense to have your annual update so you’ll be prepared regardless of your employment status? This way, if your boss gives you the axe today, you can walk out with a smile on your face because you already have a resume that SHOULD be guaranteed to get you a job in 30 days or less.
Ahh…prevention and preparation are always better than passiveness and reaction.
As always, good luck with your job search.
