First of all, let’s get your resume 'on target' to your professional goals/next position with eye-catching, market branding highlighting portable hard skills, soft skills, and professional achievements pertinent to your next career objective. A simple listing of employers, duties, and dates won't get it done! Usage of powerful, but brief, wording, appropriate keywords, powerful adjectives, adverbs that draw attention, and ensure your new resume will survive the ATS parsing software scan, if applying online, to get to the DM (hiring decision-maker).
A great resume should be a MARKETING MASTERPIECE ...NOT a chronological obituary from 1950! We've written thousands - our clients…maybe a handful? A flexible, but targeted cover letter defining certain critical elements. By showing you how to best use diverse media to find industries, companies, and decision-makers, and uncover the “hidden job market" - ~85% OF POSSIBLE POSITIONS ARE NOT ADVERTISED, OR POSTED! |
We help you separate from the rest of the pack!! |
Complete Details of Award-Winning Services
Professional Resume Writing ServicesA great, (email-formatted) cover letter and resume are the keys to the interview. No longer do job postings draw 10 - 30 resumes from an ad in the Sunday newspaper, but THOUSANDS from online postings! A resume should NOT be a chronological obituary, but vibrant marketing collateral...a marketing masterpiece...a hiring proposal! More than 90% of the resumes floating on the Internet are terrible, but in all fairness, how many have they written in a lifetime? Additionally, it is SO difficult to write about yourself! At ACS, we’ve written thousands of resumes for virtually all positions in all industries! WE DO NOT SUBCONTRACT OUR WORK TO OTHERS AS MANY DO! WE PARTNER WITH EACH CLIENT!!
Over 99% of “resume writers” on an Internet search are NOT certified professionals – WE ARE and within this website are some recent, unsolicited comments from many of our clients. They say it best!:

Professional JOB Interview Coaching
Now that your new cover letter and resume have passed through the ATS parsing software you will get a call (hopefully many). Should you take the call at that moment? (NO! click) If you do not survive the telephone screening there will not be a face-to-face interview. Now, will you submit to being interrogated like virtually all interviews have been conducted since the beginning of time? There is a much easier and much more productive way to interview – let us show you how! Someone always looks better in print, but our coaching clients typically earn The Offer! Don't be uncomfortable in trying to "sell yourself." Learn how to "Sell the Fit!!"

Professional Career Coaching & Counseling
Almost half of our clients change industries (the most difficult thing to attempt); departments, not so much. We view ourselves as your coach, but more importantly as your partner. We’ll be open and honest with our assessments, your activity, and performance and hope you will do the same. The goal is for you to obtain a “career position,” something that you would REALLY love to do and where you would prefer to do it versus landing some J.O.B. (Just Over Broke, Just Over Boredom…). We’ll prepare all written material (as needed) and work with you until you reach your goal.
You have my personal promise! - Bruce

We utilize PayPal so that you can remit any way you wish (may still be tax deductible on federal tax returns if you itemize?) and we will have the finished documents to you for your approval / questions / edits within 24 to 48 hours (weekends and federal holidays excluded) of payment. Virtually all are client-approved immediately, but we will work with you until YOU are completely satisfied ... guaranteed!
Professional job Interview Training; LinkedIn Profile Building & Usage; Career counseling, and more...
$200 per 60- to 120-minute session (by appointment only). These are best accomplished via Skype. We remain available via email, text, or telephone for any of those questions that pop-up during the course of a career search campaign. You are NOT alone!
The 'LinkedIn Package' was reduced to a flat $200 for our resume clients. This includes (re)building your LinkedIn Profile AND up to two hours of user training via Skype (so you can uncover ~85% of all job opportunities that are NOT POSTED!)

We have created a new, proven way to interview that is SO much easier and productive than the interrogation style that has been used virtually forever. This new methodology quickly turns an interrogation, which neither party enjoys, into a meaningful dialog so that all parties gain real, pertinent information. THIS is what clearly separates the candidates! Do not “sell yourself” - learn how to “Sell the Fit!” (Several articles written specifically about this subject are within the ADVICE tab.)
Now you've received the 'Offer of Employment.' NEVER accept, or deny The Offer in person; only after a thorough review and comparison and in writing to your future boss - NOT HR (that sent The Offer to you). More than 90% of today’s Offers are too low on compensation and often lack other elements that may be very important, e.g. vacation time, performance bonuses, a sign-on bonus, and other negotiable items. 97% of Americans accept the first Offer and what signal are they sending when they may be expected to negotiate for the new Company and don’t negotiate well for themselves? We will help you do this and our counter-Offers are very rarely declined! The Offer NEVER rescinded!
