Your resume is the key

No single document affects your future more than your resume. An executive, professional, or entry-level resume that makes job interviews happen will launch your career or lift it to new heights. If submitting your resume doesn't lead to job interviews, your resume is shutting you out of job opportunities – and costing thousands of dollars in lost earnings. In today's tight job market, where even janitorial openings draw over three hundred applicants, your resume must quickly prove that you stand out from the rest of the pile, or job interviews won't happen.   

At Fast & Focused, we make job interviews happen. Our powerfully persuasive executive, professional, and entry-level resumes meet the 15 second challenge and  usher our clients into more interviews and better jobs. We guarantee it, and our results prove it. Our resumes have unlocked doors to new jobs and careers for CEO's, Presidents, CTO's, IT wizards, department heads, career changers, operations and project managers, lawyers, nurses, accountants, marketing specialists, salespeople, and students making their first foray into full-time work. 

Why "good manners" can work against you

When we were children, our parents taught us "Don't boast" and we obeyed. Today, not mentioning our achievements has become second nature. Many people fear that they will look arrogant if they mention their accomplishments in resumes; even more  forget situations where they made a real difference or achieved important business goals. If your resume follows either of these trends, it won't give employers any reason to interview you rather than someone else, and your phone won't ring. 

The Fast & Focused Advantage

The Fast & Focused difference starts with our writers. Every Fast & Focused resume writer has spent years working in management, sales, marketing, purchasing, accounting and other business areas. Working "in the trenches," we gained an insider's knowledge of the skills and accomplishments that a bewildering variety of organizations need in their new employees. When we interview clients, that knowledge informs our questions. Again and again, our writers ask the unexpected yet critical questions that uncover significant achievements and relevant skills that our clients have almost forgotten; achievements and skills that become job winners when properly presented. 

And Fast & Focused makes certain that your achievements are properly presented. Every Fast & Focused resume writer has been recognized as a Certified Professional Resume Writer. This credential, the seal of excellence in resume writing, guarantees that your writer has mastered the techniques to make certain your resume – and your critical business accomplishments – will stand out from the pile.

So whether you need an executive resume presenting a career filled with outstanding achievements to boards of directors, a professional resume showing that you are the perfect fit for a mid-range position, or an entry-level resume opening the doors to your new career, a Fast & Focused resume package unlocks the doors to the jobs you want.

Work with us and you can expect

•    More interviews 
Fast & Focused doesn’t just guarantee that you will be satisfied when we deliver the final executive, professional or entry-level resume package; instead we guarantee that our resume will produce results. We guarantee that you will be called for more interviews than your previous resume produced. And once you break the ice with your first interview, you will be so much more relaxed and effective that it's a statistical certainty that job offers will start coming your way. Find out why here.

•    A shorter job hunt
One pre-recession study showed that the average job hunt for professionals or executives lasts anywhere from 18 to 27 weeks. Current studies suggest that the job hunts may now take more time – as much as an additional 6 weeks.

Since our resumes generate more interviews quickly, you can be sure that a Fast & Focused resume will cut weeks or even months from your job hunt and bring in more income sooner. Discover just how much an ineffective resume can cost you and just how profitable investing in a Fast and Focused resume package can be: many clients have found that it more than pays for itself.

•    Improved interview skills
The same techniques that produce interview generating resumes also lead to job-winning interviews. At Fast & Focused, we show clients how to leverage the strengths of their resume to make stronger impressions in their interviews.

•    Your choice of jobs . . . and higher salaries
Because Fast & Focused resumes regularly generate multiple interviews, our clients often find themselves able to negotiate better compensation packages with their chosen employer. Having a second or even a third job offer in your briefcase means that you are more effective when negotiating the compensation package you need with your preferred employer.  Just as a thank you, we also point our clients to some little-known resources that make those negotiations so much easier.
