Each job varies  -- so must your resume!

Writing Great, Targeted Resumes
That Lead To Interviews
 

You need a targeted resume to stand out from other applicants and help make sure you are the one who gets an interview.  

See resumes of people who got the job.  Examples show before and after our help - click here

Each job varies  -- so must your resume.

You must revise your master resume for each prospective employer's needs.  You can't expect to be among the three applicants who get interviews if you write a generic, untargeted resume that looks like those from the 100 other applicants.

Learn easy steps from our expert.

The Guyant Resume Grid (c) will make this process simple.  The Guyant Resume Grid helps you easily compile your knowledge, skills, achievements, honors and so forth.

Prepare your master resume

Your master resume will be the foundation for targeted resumes later.  Be sure you complete developing the Guyant Resume Grid, which will make you ready to quickly re-target your master resume for any position in a few hours.

Prepare cover letters that employers want to read

It is easy to prepare an effective cover letter that interviewers will actually want to read (interviewers really dread facing a stack of wordy, empty cover letters).

You need a confident and specific first paragraph followed by a list of what the employer wants that is matched by blurbs of your qualifications to meet the employer's needs. And then you need a strong finish in which you say you can do the job and look forward to meeting them in the interview. See example here.

bullet

You don't have to be 'good' writer

You don’t have to be a "good writer" to produce great, targeted resumes.  The Guyant Resume Grid system does most of the organizing for you.  This process will help any level applicant - from students and entry-level applicants all the way to executives.

bullet

You will gain confidence

You will gain a lot confidence when you see how much more you have to offer, particularly when its shows up in your new resume.  The increased confidence will help you handle the tough emotions faced during job hunting and interviews.

Available to  write resumes and cover letters

Even though you probably don't need our help if you follow the suggestions in these pages, we are available to critique, revise and even write resumes and cover letters.  The fee would range from $100 to $300; the more work you do, the less we charge.

Fees:

$0 if you do the work yourself and use the examples in these pages and we don't work with you at all (which we contend you won't need if you really do the grid exercise and follow one of the examples in these pages).  This works really well when you ask friends to review your drafts and make suggestions.

$100:  You complete a work history grid and email it to us along with a draft resume that you write based on the grid.  We will then review the resume with you online and help you improve it to your satisfaction, no matter how long that take (typically one to two hours on the phone with you).  But it won't take long if you thoroughly do the grid first (see comments from those who did and found huge value from the process).

$200:  You skip the grid exercise and then send a draft resume for us to review with you online (which will need to be done at least twice).  We will work with you until you are satisfied with one resume.

$400:  You skip the grid exercise and don't draft a resume but hire us to interview you and then draft the resume for you, and work with you online until you are satisfied with one resume.  Again, you can save money by doing more work ahead of time, so it certainly is worth it to try that first.

 

Our expert skills will help you draw out your hidden assets (that is what the grid does for you).  We have never failed to help job applicants discover their hidden knowledge, skills, and other winning attributes.  We will  work with you until you are satisfied.

bullet

 100% guaranteed

We are so confident that your resume and cover letter will be significantly better that we unconditionally guarantee a 100% refund if you are not delighted (not just satisfied).

bullet

Optional one-to-one practice of tough questions

We are also available to help you practice answering the tough questions you might face during a forthcoming job interview.  This is usually done via telephone at times suitable to you and the interview coach.  It can be in person, depending of location and schedules.  The fee will vary according to preparation time and other factors.  There is no cost for an estimate.  You are welcome to send an inquiry to Al.Guyant@verizon.net or call 608-825-8844.
