Even if you've already hired a certified resume writer, those individuals are not often experienced recruiters. We routinely find at least a few tweaks that can make a huge difference in your job search.

Sadly, the people in need of expert resume help the most rarely choose to invest it. It could be due to a lack of funds or they may not understand the value. Have you witnessed a friend or family member struggling to land a job? Would they benefit from an expert resume review? You should be their career hero and buy them a gift card!
Most job seekers fail to realize how tiny mistakes and unintentional red flags in their resume can ruin their chances of landing an interview. Especially in an ultra-competitive job market where every job posting receives hundreds of applicants. How is your resume going to stand out? This problem is NOT being solved by AI. Unfortunately, AI is only making the problem worse. AI auto apply platforms are bombarding applicant tracking systems with exponentially more resumes. At the same time, AI screening features are rapidly determining relevancy scores and only recommending candidates with perfect resumes. HR departments & hiring managers are focusing their time interviewing those candidates and ignoring all other applicants. Even if a company is still using legacy HR systems without AI driven relevancy scoring capabilities, 70-80% of resumes are eliminated in the grid view of applicant tracking systems. Grid view screens are entirely dependent on the accuracy of parsing technologies. Sadly, even the best parsing technologies are routinely inaccurate. Using the proper resume formatting is key to ensuring parsing accuracy. The remaining 20-30% of resumes are reviewed, but typically by a busy HR person with overly critical eyes and limited time before their next meeting. Each resume is only reviewed for 3-5 seconds before a decision is made to pursue or reject. You have to ensure the reviewer can quickly find the key items they are looking for and avoid all the common red flags. If not, you risk finding yourself stuck in the resume black hole for months on end with no results. It is now more important than ever to optimize your resume and LinkedIn profile to avoid the resume black hole. Before you apply to another job, schedule an appointment and let's make sure your resume and LinkedIn profile are both HR Approved.
" The service was a bargain. You over deliver on your value proposition so you could expand the scope of your offerings. My satisfaction is probably higher being that you do over deliver on what's offered. Valuable for resume optimization and great advice on tactics for applying too." -Aram
"The service was outstanding! It's great to get insights from an actual recruiter who can help you stand out in today's very competitive job market. The ATS-friendly resume was an unexpected bonus, and the tips on how to distinguish your resume from others were very much appreciated. The LinkedIn advice was also top notch. I never thought to include an impact statement in my LinkedIn banner, and I certainly didn't expect to receive some sample banners that I could use. That was above and beyond what I expected. In a nutshell, you get a lot of wisdom and guidance for a very reasonable price. I highly recommend Blake to anyone who's looking for career and resume coaching." -Imran
"I wanted to thank you again for giving me the wonderful résumé tips, that started companies calling me for job interviews. It was a game changer. You suggested that I combine two jobs into one because one company was acquired three months after I started, and I was laid off 10 months after we were acquired, so it looked like I was a job hopper. Which I'm not. I’m very happy where I’ve landed now, but I wish you the very best of success and will always be grateful for that wonderful tip." -Nikki
"Great insider information on how to best present yourself to hiring teams and ATS scanners. Solid strategies to differentiate yourself and stand-out to hiring teams. Provides everything you need for successful resume and LinkedIn profile updates to get you noticed." -Neil
"Prompt, professional, and made me feel enthusiastic about moving forward with confidence in my job search." -Justin
"My son got a job immediately after the input you game him. No joke. He got the offer today. I cannot thank you enough." -Will
"Fast and effective way to get your cv and profile updated based on the trends and requirements along with insights, advice and coaching from someone who is in it professionally day to day." -Andre
"This looks great, thank you for all of the helpful info in addition to the resume revamp. Your word-smithing has worked wonders for me. I printed this out and showed it to my wife and she was quite impressed as well." -Dan
"On the job front, it's been excellent for me recently. I went about 6 months with only a few nibbles, but after your assistance, I ended up getting four bites. Since then, I made it to the final round with three companies almost simultaneously and have decided to accept an offer to become a CISO for a FinTech company. Really great opportunity that I couldn't turn down." -Neilson
"After a full year of applying for roles on LinkedIn, with not a single interview, I hired Blake who helped me redo my resume and tweak my LinkedIn profile and just after one week, I’ve landed two interviews after applying for only a handful of jobs on LinkedIn. The changes that he made no doubt did this. I highly recommend his services!" - Dave
"I highly recommend working with Blake if you are in the job market or looking to improve your prospects. Blake is extremely knowledgeable in his craft, comes prepared and provides almost immediate actionable input. The investment and results have been well worth it. " - Jhandel
"It was a great experience working with Blake Williams who took my very lacking resume, transforming it into an eye catching, standout piece that reflects me and all of my work experiences and achievements. I would highly recommend his services to any of my friends or family. " - Nate
"Blake helped me gain perspective on my past experience which bordered on Generalist (not exactly what companies look for in a new hire). He helped me clarify and distinctly define my story, suggesting revisions to my LinkedIn resume that made it easy for recruiters to understand. I got my dream job not one month later! Thanks, Blake!" -Liz
"Blake is great at doing these services and has done so for over a decade as a professional recruiter, etc. He not only did an extensive overhaul of my resume, but he asked me lots of underlying questions beforehand in order to tailor my resume to the correct audience. He also gave me great advice and pointers on how to individually tailor my resume when applying to specific jobs or industries, etc. Would highly recommend others to go through the service, especially if you haven't had a professional review in some time." -Daniel
