Why do you call yourselves Fast & Focused?

     Our name is our mission statement. Since 2006, Fast & Focused has built a reputation for quickly creating and delivering interview generating executive, professional and entry-level resumes. Everything we do is focused around one goal: getting more interviews for our clients.

     Because people who need a resume usually need it as quickly as possible, the Fast & Focused difference starts right from your first phone call or e-mail. In addition to scheduling an appointment sometime in the next couple of days, Fast & Focused immediately sends you a specially designed proprietary questionnaire to help you set forth the full range of your skills and achievements. As you complete the questionnaire, you be asked for key details that separate you from other applicants and prove that you are an ideal candidate for the job.  Once we receive the returned questionnaire, we write the skeleton of the resume and cover letter. With that our writer is prepared to conducts an in-depth client interview that focuses on filling in the gaps in the information we have received. We skillfully draw out additional accomplishments demonstrating the full range of our clients have abilities and character. Then we state and organize those accomplishments for maximum impact, making sure that each client's key accomplishments will be read within the critical first ten seconds reading time. Once the final additions and changes receive client approval, we send the final copies of the resume and cover letter in both Word and text files (with .pdf and hard copy files available on request).

     At every step, we save you time and money. Instead of waiting two or three days for an interview with a resume writer, you have our questionnaire in hand immediately. Rather than paying for a writer’s time as he or she takes notes of all your data, you provide much of your information by completing the questionnaire in far less time than an interview would take. This makes it possible to use your interview to help you recall critical achievements and place them into their contexts. This is primary reason why Fast & Focused resume packages are effective, cost less than other providers and can be in our clients' hands in as little as 2 business days.

What happens when I purchase a resume package?

     When you commission Fast & Focused, we immediately e-mail you our proprietary Resume Preparation Kit and we also schedule an interview. The heart of the kit is a specially designed questionnaire that helps you bring out your skills, achievements and character. When you complete the questionnaire, just email or fax it back to us, together with any reference letters you have and any job ads to which you plan to apply. If you have an old resume, send us a copy also. Once we receive this information, we construct a preliminary draft of your resume package. With this done, we can spend most of the  interview reviewing and strengthening your questionnaire answers, adding any missing information, and uncovering additional accomplishments that will catch an employer’s eye. Then we write the first draft of your resume package and send it for you to review. Let us know of any final changes and they will be incorporated into the final drafts which are sent out no more than one business day later. If you request your hard copies of your packages, they will be couriered to you.
