How to write a resume

An important point when searching for a job is a resume or CV (curriculum vitae) - a short form of presentation of the basic personal and professional data of the applicant. This type of self-presentation has long been firmly established in the Russian labor market, but, unfortunately, a well-written resume is still a rarity.
The main purpose of a resume: to get an invitation to an interview.
Remember! A resume is your business card and a chance to get an interview.
A competent, concise resume will set you apart from other applicants.

When writing a resume, you must remember that your success in finding a job largely depends on how you present your professional experience in it. A resume is the document from which the employer receives the first information about the applicant for a vacancy and forms his opinion about him. Familiarization with a CV takes on average 2-3 minutes, so the information contained in it should be presented in such a way as to immediately attract attention.
A resume in English (or any other) language is prepared only if you are applying for a vacancy in a foreign company. You should send your resume to a Russian company or recruitment agency in Russian, because... it may reach a person who does not speak a foreign language, and at best it will be put aside, and at worst it will go straight to the trash bin.

An exception may be the resumes of specialists who are fluent in a foreign language, or for whom knowledge of the language is one of the selection criteria (believe me, a driver’s resume in English looks, at least, funny). But even in this case, it is better to duplicate the resume: one in Russian, one in English. This way, you can simultaneously demonstrate your knowledge of the language and respect for the person to whom your resume will reach.

Basic Rules

1. The resume should be written for a specific field of activity (even better - for a specific position). Nobody needs a “jack of all trades” resume (even if you really are one). Do not apply for several significantly different positions in one resume. As a last resort, create several resumes and send only one to each company (of course, the one that suits them best). An exception is Recruitment Agencies - sometimes you can send them both resumes, explaining the situation in a cover letter.
2. Try to keep your resume to one, maximum two pages.
3. The resume should be printed in a clear, easy-to-read font, preferably on a computer, but in no case written by hand. It is important to take into account that the employer can receive your resume by fax, and fax machines significantly degrade print quality, so the font should be at least 11.
4. Make sure your resume contains enough contact information so that employers can easily contact you.
5. Place dates on the left side of your resume and job descriptions and educational institutions on the right.
6. Be the first to describe the qualities that are important for the position you are applying for.
7. Do not write information in your resume that may negatively affect the attitude towards you.
8. Try to add as much information as possible to your resume that demonstrates that you are qualified for the position.
9. Work activity is the part of your biography that is most interesting to potential employers. Therefore, it is worth spending more time on this and providing the most complete information. It is important to clarify the company’s profile (you must admit, sometimes the name of the company does not tell you much), as well as job responsibilities, where you can reflect what you directly had to do, which will significantly expand the range of your professional capabilities in the eyes of your future managers. The employer is interested in real experience, from which one can draw a conclusion about the degree of professionalism. This information must be indicated in chronological order (preferably from the last place of work), and it is necessary to clarify the periods of work in relation to a specific place of your work activity.
10. Ask a friend to read your resume, this will help identify spelling and stylistic errors.
11. Don't write your entire bio. It is unlikely that an employer will be interested in your school years.
12. There should be no blank spots in your work history. If your work experience was interrupted for a long period of time, you need to figure out in advance how to explain such a break.
13. Don’t write banal things: “hardworking”, “I work well in a team”. It is better to reflect this in the description of your achievements.
14. Be careful when describing your interests/hobbies. It's better not to write about them on your resume.
15. Your CV must include the date the resume was sent so that the HR manager can figure out when it was compiled, because... the data may be out of date, which means a preliminary conversation is necessary to clarify a number of questions, and the most important of them: are you continuing to look for a job?

Points that should be contained in a resume

1. Personal information and contacts
2. Profile
3. Education
4. experience
5. Additional skills: Computer skills / Foreign languages ​​/ Interests (optional)

1. Personal information and contacts

Personal data - full name, age (preferably date of birth), marital status, address and telephone number.

2. Profile

If you are a qualified professional, you can write a short resume to highlight the areas in which you specialize and your main skills and abilities.

3. Education

It consists of two sections: basic (secondary, secondary specialized, higher, 2nd higher) and additional (internship courses, trainings, seminars, etc.). In both cases, it is necessary to indicate the name of the educational institution, faculty, specialty of the diploma (if we are talking about courses, then the specialization or name of the course is indicated).

4. Work experience

This contains information about previous jobs. It is more convenient for an employer or employee of a recruitment agency if they are arranged in descending order, i.e. starting from the last one. You indicate the month and year of employment and the month and year of dismissal, the name of the company, the field of activity of the organization and your position. Pay special attention to indicating the scope of activity of the company in which you worked. It is not enough to write “production” or “trade”. Be sure to disclose exactly what the company traded and what exactly the company produced. Do not use such general terms as “food” or “consumer goods”; try to specify as precisely as possible the group of goods or services with which you worked, because very often such narrow specificity is of fundamental importance for the employer. Do not forget to briefly describe the job responsibilities at each place of work, because... For the same position in different companies, the responsibilities are different.

5. Additional skills

Computer skills

Computer proficiency contains information about your PC skills (user, advanced user, operator, programmer), as well as programs, environments, languages, databases with which you have worked.

Foreign languages

Foreign language skills. You indicate all foreign languages ​​and the degree to which you speak them. Adhere to the following formulations: “perfect” - knowledge of the language at the native level, proficiency in simultaneous translation; “fluent” - proficiency in consecutive translation, the ability to communicate fluently in a foreign language within any subject. “good” - the ability to correctly express one’s thoughts in a foreign language, as well as understand the interlocutor. “conversational” - communication at the everyday level, the ability to understand simple speech, convey known information to the interlocutor. “basic” - knowledge of the elementary fundamentals of the language, communication at the level of “How are you?”, “The weather is nice today,” the ability to understand simple text.

Additional Information

Here you provide the information that you consider necessary to convey to the employer: availability of a driver’s license, personal car, international passport, the possibility of business trips. You can also include interests, hobbies and personal qualities here; it is also permissible to highlight them in a separate paragraph.

Example resume

Interview

1. You received a call in response to your resume. Value your interlocutor's time. Be clear and specific. Optimal conversation time: about 5 minutes. If during a conversation you are invited to an interview, ask where and at what time you need to arrive. Find out what documents to have with you.
2. There is no need to attach your photo to your resume, just have it with you when you are invited to an interview.
3. Don't lie. This could lead to rejection if you are found out. The employer can make inquiries about you at previous places of work and you will find yourself in an awkward position if you tell a lie.
4. Remember! Not only are you chosen, but you also choose where to work. Your task is to obtain as much information as possible about the vacancy and the company during the interview. It may very well be that the rules, limited smoking breaks or something else will not suit you at all.
   Here is a sample list:
   - salary (if in USD, then find out the exchange rate), regularity of payments, “black” or “white”.
   - work schedule (overtime, business trips).
   - social package (health insurance, sick leave, vacation, fitness, food, travel, mobile phone, car).
   - bonuses\fines
5. When pretending to be active during an interview, don’t overdo it. Remember: the best is the enemy of the good. Everything is useful in moderation.
6. Never be upset if you are not accepted. From personal experience: when looking for a job, I was rejected 2 times by companies where, as it later turned out, I shouldn’t have worked.
7. Try to remain calm, no matter what tricky question you are asked during the interview. There's nothing personal here. A recruiter or employer asks you about things that, at first glance, have absolutely nothing to do with your future work, not out of idle curiosity or with the goal of hurting your pride. They have a completely different task - to find the most suitable candidate who meets the requirements. Show that you understand this, be patient, answer all questions kindly, without irritation. This willingness to cooperate will certainly be appreciated and will help you get ahead of other applicants for the vacancy.
   The questions that recruiters or employers ask you may turn out to be “uncomfortable”. Try to think through the answers to them in advance, and then your chances of getting a job will increase significantly.
8. Be prepared to answer any additional questions about your resume.
   Remember! For each resume item, you may be asked: “Why......?” and you must answer calmly, without hesitation.
   To practice, you can go for interviews with companies that are not interesting to you in order to gain experience in passing interviews. At the 4-5th interview, you will already be able to calmly and confidently answer all questions and will be more likely to pass the interview.
9. When applying through Recruitment Agencies, remember: you must follow all interview rules, even better than during an interview with an employer. KA makes money by providing candidates to various companies. If you did not get into one company, but managed to show the CA consultant that you are a professional in your field, then you will definitely be invited to an interview with other companies.

Expert opinion

Natalia Molchanova

HR manager

He spends no more than two minutes looking at each document. During this time, you should be able to stand out from the stream of candidates and attract the attention of the employer. Proper formatting of your resume is the easiest way to achieve this.

How to format a resume correctly

The employer will evaluate your application according to two standard parameters:

• Contents. It is important to provide information truthfully and correctly.
• Forms. The emphasis is on formatting a resume “according to GOST” – maintaining the correct structure.

3 design rules

1. The truth is valued, but not all of it. Focus on the positive aspects of your professional activity. It’s worth keeping silent about the shortcomings. Perhaps the recruiter will be interested in them at. To avoid confusion, think about what you will talk about.
2. Follow the structure strictly. The resume should not be too lengthy. Present all information briefly and clearly, despite your extensive professional experience. Present the text carefully, adhering to its structure. Nobody wants to delve into nonsense.
3. Let your resume exude optimism and cheerfulness. Luck always comes to successful and positive people. This means you can get a good job.

How to design a resume beautifully

When you often check and review your resume, you involuntarily notice numerous shortcomings in its design. The eye gets tired of hard-to-read information, trying to catch important points. Properly formatted information will help avoid this. Let's look at this issue in more detail.

There are different ways of reading. To put it simply, we can highlight:

• Reading by scanning. It is carried out by skimming with a gaze lingering on important places.
• Sequential perception. Information is absorbed from word to word, from line to line.

A person spends an average of 1.5 to 30 seconds scanning the text of books or other sources. The written text is glanced at briefly, and only then we begin to read it.

Rules and requirements for resumes

The structure of a resume is important when preparing it. Your document must contain:

• Full name of the applicant, contact information (Site header).
• Item “Education” (written in chronological order - the last place of study is indicated by the first item).
• Column “Work experience” (filled out in chronological order - the last position is indicated at the top).
• Section or .
• Other blocks can be filled in as desired. Your resume can include additional information, availability of courses and participation in trainings. If there is nothing special to brag about, these blocks can be omitted.

What errors occur

Sometimes, a candidate for a vacant position is a competent professional in his field of activity. And his resume looks wrong and is not readable. Sometimes a person doesn’t even think that a resume needs to be designed beautifully. that catch your eye:

1. A pun on styles and fonts (bold, bold, italic, underlined, small, large, uppercase, lowercase). Many people still manage to use a whole range of fonts with combined properties. The text becomes difficult to read.
2. Some resumes do not have vertical margins. Blocks merge with each other. Such a document looks compact, but it is difficult to make out anything in it.
3. Many applicants completely neglect the left indentation and do not bother to align the text.
4. The responsibilities section is often written in one line. This design merges into a continuous mess. The list would look much better.

How to format a resume

Correct formatting of your resume can be done by following the recommendations described below. Remember, no matter which version of the electronic resume you download, there are special requirements for filling out ready-made forms:

1. The most important thing is not to overdo it. The first unshakable rule is to make sure that the volume of the resume does not extend to more than two pages of A4 paper. Key information should be placed on the first sheet. If the information does not fit on two pages, then you will have to sacrifice something and remove the unnecessary ones. The resume should be easy to read.
2. When transferring your data to the second page, at the end of the first, make a note that the next sheet contains a continuation. All sheets except the first are assigned a number and the last name is printed.
3. If there is a small amount of information, place it so that it fits on one page.
4. A good resume is written in Times New Roman or Arial. Compared to other variations, they look the most readable. Treat your resume like a document. Be strict when designing it. There is no need to demonstrate knowledge of Adobe Photoshop here.
5. Use only font size 12 for all text in general. It is standard. The font color must be black. The variety of different colors is distracting and prevents you from focusing on the applicant’s candidacy.
6. The full name must be highlighted and placed at the top of the sheet. Here you need to set the size to 14 point. This will help focus the employer's attention on personal data and record it in memory. The surname written in large font is easier to find among other documents. You should not write the words “Last name”, “First name” and “Patronymic” in your resume. The position for which you are applying must also be highlighted in large font.
7. Separate each block from each other to make your resume presentable.
8. You can use bold font or underlining to make headings stand out. You can also use a faded gray color. Only the internal content of the sections is important; bright colors will only distract attention from the essence of what is written.
9. When applying for a job, you must submit a resume in the same style. If you have a wealth of work experience and you need to indicate a whole list of jobs, format all items on the list in the same way. This rule also applies when displaying education. Example incorrect registration resume: when italic font is used to describe work experience, and underlined font is used to describe education. Sections and subheadings should also be designed in the same style.
10. The margins must contain a certain indentation: for the top, bottom and right, their size should be 2 cm. For the left margin, set to 1 cm. This marking of the margins will be convenient for pinning a document into a personal file or filing it in a binder. Use single line spacing. This will give the resume a compact appearance and maintain the structure of the text. Thus, all information can be placed on one sheet.
11. If you need to highlight any special information, use the bold font service. Using underlining or italics is not recommended. This way of emphasizing attention will look easy and organic in the text.
12. A resume is your business card. Do not use various frames and symbols to form it. A resume is a business document. It must be completed, like all official documentation, with the utmost seriousness.
13. Present your data in the language of business communication, following the intended plan and focusing on the main aspects.
14. Write simply, briefly and clearly. Your document should be easy to understand and well-structured. A resume, like all business documents, should not contain complex sentences or adverbial phrases. Build simple and accessible sentences.
15. There is no need to throw around specific terms and specific formulations in the text that are relevant to the position for which you are applying. You will be able to demonstrate your knowledge in this area at the interview. Complex wording will only overload the document.
16. Errors in a resume are an unacceptable oversight, so review what you have written several times or use the F7 button in Word.
17. Use only white paper in a classic resume. It is better to use thick sheets. Resumes printed on a laser printer look good. Stained paint can give your profile an unpresentable appearance. Your document may need to be photocopied, faxed, or filed away. It is necessary that in all cases it retains a decent appearance. Nobody reads handwritten resumes anymore.

A few worthy examples:

Example No. 1 Example No. 2

I've written a resume twenty times over the last three years. Once - for myself, when I got a job as head of the copywriting department at an advertising agency, and the rest - for friends and acquaintances. Sometimes the goals were really difficult and interesting: to place a friend with no work experience, but with great potential, in a large company (from which he left after 2 years and opened his own successful business) or to win a “resume competition”, where about 30 people applied for one position. applicants.

Do you know why in 95% of cases the problem was solved successfully? Because a resume is the same selling text that sells a person to an employer. With all the consequences. And, as practice shows, 99% of people don’t know how to write a resume. I was convinced of this when I worked as a department head and recruited employees. Every day, human resources managers (HRs) sent dozens of resumes of applicants, and I didn’t even read most of these resumes: they were either written boringly, like a carbon copy, or written on the board in a creative way, but completely uninteresting to me as an employer.

Why do people write unnecessary things on their resumes?

Most people make several serious mistakes when writing a resume. Firstly, they completely do not understand the task of their target audience (HR manager, department head or business owner). Secondly, they all rewrite resumes 1 to 1 according to a template, of which there is a ton on the Internet, “safely” merging with the gray mass of other similar applicants.

Finally, thirdly, the vast majority of people create one resume for a wide range of vacancies: from a personnel manager to a CNC machine operator, they say, they will take it somewhere. As a result, such a resume contains a bunch of information that no one needs and, at best, is sent to the “Consider if we don’t find anyone at all after six months of searching.”

What does an employer need?

When it comes to selling goods and services, you can go in two ways: from the product (describe what a cool and unique product is) and from the client (find the client’s problem, his pain and present the product as a solution to this problem). The second approach works much better in practice.

You will also notice that the employer has a very specific task: to get the maximum result for the money invested. Those. fill the vacancy with a suitable person at minimal (if possible) costs. The higher the result and the less money you need to spend, the better. It's called a good deal.

The opposite is also true: the more valuable a person is within the vacancy, the more money he is worth. No matter how cynical it sounds, when we talk about a resume, a person is a product on the labor market window. No more, no less.

The biggest mistakes when writing a resume

When I worked as the head of the copywriting department at a large advertising agency, I had about 40 people subordinate to me. At that time, we were actively filling vacancies for web writers and copywriters, and HR managers sent me dozens of applicants’ resumes.

I threw 9 out of 10 of these resumes into the trash after a quick glance, because they were boring and completely incompetently compiled. Typical mistake: a lot of information, but not a hint as to why the person is suitable for this particular vacancy. In other words, I was offered a product that I did not need at all, and if I did need it, no one explained to me why.

Another problem with about half of all resumes sent is the incorrect structure. I have many friends who are excellent specialists in their field. But the problem is that you can't tell by looking at their resume. It is important to understand that a potential employer has no other information other than a resume, and if the resume does not make the right impression, there is a high probability that no one will call.

The Basics of Writing a Winning Resume

Writing rule No. 1: a good resume is always tailored to a specific vacancy. There must be certainty here. Option: I’ll become a programmer or tester, or maybe a sales manager; as a rule, it works very poorly.

Want to know why? I'll explain. Different vacancies will differ in salary, sometimes even several times. HR managers know the salary scale very well.

Now put yourself in their shoes. You are seeing a resume of a person who is ready to work both as a programmer (whose salary can reach up to 150 thousand rubles ($5000) in Moscow, and as a sales manager, whose average salary is 60-80 thousand rubles ($2-2.5 thousand). T i.e. the same person is ready to earn 2 times less money at another job, and he doesn’t care. This raises serious doubts about him.

A sign of good form in a resume is to indicate the purpose. For example: “Obtaining the position of commercial director.” Clear, understandable and specific.

Cheat code

To tailor your resume as closely as possible to the vacancy, look at the requirements of existing vacancies and adapt your resume so that it matches them as closely as possible (is as relevant as possible). Then the likelihood of a response increases significantly.

Resume structure

When talking about resume structure, it is important to remember and understand one thing. In most cases, your resume competes with dozens of others, so you need to immediately draw the employer’s attention to key points.

Another very common mistake is the use of direct chronology, when a person describes his professional experience sequentially almost from school to his last place of work (from top to bottom).

The employer is not interested in your studies. At least not in the first place. He needs to fill the vacancy with the most suitable candidate, so he needs to focus on the key points first. And only then, as additional information, you can indicate training, certificates, etc.

Important: the resume structure is built from priority information for the employer to secondary information, and not vice versa. I will provide a sample at the end of this article.

Achievements

Now, for the sake of experiment, I pulled up my archive and pulled out ten resumes selectively. And in none of them did I find key information. But each one contains the same error. Look.

The vast majority of people, when describing their professional experience, use the connective “place of work-responsibilities.” But the employer is of little interest in the responsibilities. Now I will explain why.

Imagine that you come to a grocery store. You take a cake from the shelf and pay attention to the label. But instead of the usual “Composition”, you see another inscription on it: “This product must contain...”. You widen your eyes and put the cake in its place with an unpleasant aftertaste. In the end, you are not interested in what should be in the product. You are interested in what actually is in it.

Therefore, the following link works much better in a resume: “Place of work, responsibilities, achievements.” It is much more informative and sells you many times more expensive on the labor market.

Compare:

Responsibilities

• Cold calls
• Producing a presentation
• Conclusion of contracts

Too abstract, right? And now a more complete bunch.

Achievements

• Concluded 8 contracts with large companies for $1.5 million each
• Brought the company a total profit of over $10 million over three years
• Brought 119 clients to the company, 38 of whom became regulars
• Exceeded the sales plan for the last 19 months in a row
• Created my own client base of 1,100 people (decision makers)

Responsibilities

• Cold calls
• Producing a presentation
• Conclusion of contracts

Which example sells a person better and more expensive? This is a rhetorical question. Another thing is curious: the value in the second case is an order of magnitude higher than in the first, and the salary can differ several times. Although it would seem that the responsibilities are the same, the position is the same. Specifics decide.

Skills and technologies

Be sure to indicate the skills and technologies that the employer needs and that you possess.

For example, when I got a job as head of the copywriting department at an advertising agency, my skills in public speaking, teaching, and a large database of web writers became a big plus.

Please note: when you indicate a particular technology, it is not at all necessary to indicate how well you know it. You can, of course, write that you are an experienced MS Office user, if this is really the case. But otherwise it is better to list packages that you have worked with or know about. For human resources (HR) managers, who tend to be non-specialists, specific technologies are the key anchors they look for in a resume.

For example, you can write: I speak the PHP programming language, and HR will look for Zend Framework (which, in fact, is written in PHP). Moral: Pay attention to job requirements.

Background information

Many, much to my disappointment, use hackneyed clichés to describe additional benefits: “communicative, stress-resistant, responsible, etc.” The problem is that these clichés are present in almost every resume.

But meanwhile, the templates can be broken very simply: include your beliefs, principles or objects of pride in your resume. Include your favorite books or blogs and interests. At first glance, this may seem unimportant, but it is this information that characterizes you as a person, and not as a robot who compiled a resume according to given parameters. Moreover, if suddenly your hobbies and those of your employer coincide, an emotional connection will arise between you, which will significantly increase your chances of success. And even if other candidates, your competitors, are stronger in one way or another, they will still choose you, thanks to the fact that a strong psychological trigger will work - goodwill.

Finally, if you are planning to use general phrases, expand on them in more detail and explain how exactly this or that quality manifests itself in you.

For example

Stress resistance

I can withstand high emotional stress and remain calm in critical situations.

Responsibility

I am able to quickly analyze a situation and quickly make decisions, taking full responsibility for them.

Communication skills

I quickly find a common language with people to effectively resolve related work issues.

Learning ability

I am able to independently and quickly search for the necessary information and apply it in practice.

How to write a resume if you have no experience or achievements

When you have neither experience nor achievements, you need to understand that you will not be hired for certain vacancies for one simple reason: the employer needs a person. capable and able to solve the problems assigned to him, and not create new ones.

However, if you are targeting a specific vacancy, you have two options:

1. Acquire the necessary skills and experience yourself and still sell yourself, providing guarantees of fulfillment of assigned obligations.
2. Get a job somewhere else where you can get the necessary skills.

Even if you have no experience, you still have positive qualities that are useful to the employer. They need to be indicated. For example, if you are willing to stay overtime or work until you get results, this will attract attention and set you apart from your competitors.

Again, if there are no achievements, but you have minimal experience, you can write: “Participated in the launch of a large-scale email campaign based on 100,000 addresses via Mailchimp.”

This will already let the person know that you are in the know, know the terminology and you have some kind of knowledge base (even if you just watched how your friends or colleagues launched an Email campaign).

Covering letter

Often the resume is sent not in its pure form, but with a cover letter by mail. And this letter plays a key role in forming the first impression.

The composition of a cover letter for a resume depends on three factors:

• your skill level
• the position you are applying for
• the person you are writing to and who makes the decision

In practice, sincere interest in the project, goodwill and willingness to solve assigned problems works much better than talking about money or setting one’s own conditions. It is better to discuss all this during the interview.

Sample structure for writing a resume

A resume, like a sales text, is easiest to compose in blocks. Here is an approximate structure of such blocks.

Important: The word “resume” is never written on a resume.

1. A cap(full name, age, contacts).

2. Target(what position do you want to get - you need to choose one; different resumes are needed for different positions).

3. Professional experience and achievements(in reverse chronology).

• Last place of work
• Achievements
• Responsibilities
• Penultimate place of work
• Achievements
• Responsibilities
• Previous places of work
• Achievements
• Responsibilities

One thing is worth paying attention to here. For example, I am essentially a “multi-class character,” in computer game parlance. This means that I have two (and now three directions): engineer (radio-electronic profile and programming), copywriter and marketer, entrepreneur.

All three areas can be indicated in a resume, but first come those that are important to the employer. The rest either follow or are transferred to extra. information.

4. key skills(important for the employer).

5. Technologies(primarily necessary for future work).

6. Education(if there is no work experience (yesterday’s student), then education is indicated instead of block No. 3).

7. Additional Information and evidence of competence (certificates, awards, achievements outside of work, etc.).

8. Block with personal information(interests, hobbies, books, resources; for example, if you read the same resources as your employer, and they are related to your future job, then this will be a big plus).

Important: When writing a resume, God forbid that you stand out due to non-standard graphic design (bright fonts, creative phrases, or something like that). In practice, no one reads such resumes, and they go straight to the trash bin.

Summary

A funny play on words turns out: “resume on resume.” But, joking aside, I want to once again draw your attention to three important points.

1. The task of a resume is to sell the applicant to the employer as expensive as possible. Sales laws are in full effect here. Therefore, there is no need to be modest. All the benefits of your proposal should be immediately apparent.
2. The resume must correspond to the vacancy for which you are applying and be as “tailored” as possible for it.
3. Don't overload your resume with unnecessary information. Use only the information that the employer needs to invite you for an interview. No more, no less.

Let your resume sell you dearly!

P.S. Did you know that copywriters can make good money writing resumes? So, the average price for such a service starts from $100 and above, especially when you help a person get a high-paying position.
