No single document has more impact on your future than your resume. An effective executive or professional resume can launch your career or raise it to new heights: a poor one can shut you out of job opportunities, force you to take a less preferred job and cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost earnings.  Yet in today's tight economy, when even janitorial openings get over three hundred applicants, your resume has less than 15 seconds to showcase the value, drive, accomplishments and skills you offer potential employers before it joins 95% of the incoming resumes in the “don’t call” pile. Which is why providing yourself with an interview generating resume is a necessity not an option.  

Yet writing interview generating executive, professional or entry-level  resumes is an acquired skill: one that most of us haven’t been taught.

The Certified Professional Resume Writers of Fast and Focused Resume Service 

Crafting an interview generating executive or professional resume is a subtle art. At Fast & Focused Resume Service, each of our writers has earned their Certified Professional Resume Writer designation from the Professional Association of Resume Writers and Career Coaches. Awarded by North America's leading specialists in resume writing and career coaching, this credential assures that your writer has mastered the skills, techniques and procedures that create convincing demonstrations of your achievements and strengths, carefully arranged and expressed to make the most powerful impact.

The Fast & Focused advantage

Since we were children, we have beeen told "Don't boast" until not mentioning our achievements has become an ingrained reflex. Too often that reflex makes it very difficult for us to even remember incidents where we have achieved important business goals. Consequently, most people omit any mention of their accomplishments in their resumes, instead they list the jobs they held, the responsibilities they carried and the projects they worked on.  Such lists do not show how their writers' stand out from other applicants – which is why such resumes usually don't result in interviews for their writers.

At Fast & Focused, we know that creating interview-generating resumes requires a different approach. Instead of providing a job history and a responsibility list, or even a profile outlining a wish list of character traits, a Fast & Focused resume provides demonstrated proof that the candidate can accomplish critical business goals.  

Right here, the business experience of our resume writers gives our clients a priceless advantage. Unlike many resume services whose writers come exclusively from Human Resources backgrounds, each Fast & Focused resume writer  has spent years working “in the trenches” in management, sales, purchasing, financial supervision and other business arenas. The means our writers have the insder's knowledge of the skills and achievements needed by a huge variety of businesses. When we interview our clients we put that knowlege to use. Again and again, our questions, prompted and informed by "hands-on" experience, uncover whole clusters of achievements or relevant skills that our clients had not thought to mention, but which became job winners when properly presented.

Work with us and you can expect:

•    More interviews 
      Unlike some resume services, Fast & Focused doesn’t just guarantee that you will be satisfied when we deliver the final executive resume   package; instead we guarantee that you will be called for more interviews than your previous resume achieved.  And the more interviews you are called in for,  the more relaxed and effective you will be. Which increases your chances of being offered a job sooner.

•   A shorter job hunt
      A pre-recession study showed that the average job hunt for professionals or executives lasts from 18- 27 weeks.  Since our professional and executive resumes generate more interviews, faster,  we can cut weeks or even months from your job hunt and earn you more money sooner. Find out exactly how much difference that can make for you here.
