1. Targeted services: It’s not just a name. Our first priority is to understand what kind of job you’re looking for and fit our services to meet your goals. We produce résumés and cover letters that speak to the needs of the kind of employers you are trying to meet. These documents focus on your skills and achievements, not the buzzwords that fill most résumé books.

2. A commitment to helping you succeed: Most résumé companies provide a document that you will send to a potential employer. The mission of AAA Targeted Writing & Coaching Service is to help you manage your career. Yes, we’ll write an excellent résumé, cover letter and any other document you might need for your job search. We’ll also guide you in using these tools. If you need follow up services (interview preparation, career coaching), we’re here to help.

3. Value: Look at our work, and compare it to what you will get from another service (often for a higher cost). Is the writing both easy to understand and a strong description of what makes you unique? Does it underscore those skills and accomplishments that will make you most likely to be hired? Too often résumé writers try to sound impressive and forget the first mission: To convince an employer to interview you.

Questions to Ask when Evaluating a Résumé Service:

1. Who are you working with? Does that person have the right kind of experience and education to assist in your job search?

2. Is the company trying to help you, or are they trying to sell you something? Do they spend most of their time talking about your job search or describing sales packages and discounts? Do they charge extra fees for electronic copies or paper or envelopes?

3. Can they demonstrate how they have helped others succeed? (more)

4. Are they professional* in the deepest sense of the word?

* Anyone who takes money for doing some kind of work is technically a professional. A true professional is dedicated to helping his or her clients. This person will charge a fee which at first glance may seem high. But he or she provides a product or service that will have lasting value.
