WHY SHOULDN'T YOU WRITE YOUR OWN RESUME/CV?


Why shouldn't you write your own resume/cv?
Well, it's like looking in the mirror and giving yourself a haircut! Quite frankly, you won't do such a thing just to save some dollars. What's more with your resume! It's not easy to objectively write a dynamic resume. Some who opt the DIY or go-it-alone method often end up with a disastrous result.
It's your CAREER we're talking about. How much can you really save if your job applications get tossed out? How much money are you saving by being out of work for longer or stuck in a lower paying job without much prospect? If you just sit down and do a simple calculation, you will realise you are losing thousands of dollars - just because you didn't want to pay a few hundred dollars for a professionally-crafted resume. Not a good investment, isn't it?
A Resume Writing Professional and Career Management Strategist can help you increase your employer appeal by developing your IMAGE and building your PERSONAL BRANDING. It's worth investing a small sum in engaging a professional to do up your resume, linkedin profile or executive profile.
