Who Needs a Professional Resume Writer?

Young workers, students and others new to the job market

Many inexperienced job seekers have benefited from our expertly-written resumes, especially those who were unsure of how to best market their skills. Snap Editing focuses on your skills and other-than-job experiences (such as volunteer work) that you might not realize are valuable to employers.

"Michael [at Snap Editing] was really helpful in creating my first professional resume and cover letter. Very well done! Thank you so much!"

Older job seekers

The good news is that as more and more people over 55 are staying healthy and staying employed, there`s been a significant change in that thinking – and hiring trends are showing this. Snap Editing`s expert writers create strategic resumes that highlight qualifications most relevant to the job you’re seeking, and demonstrate that you’re up-to-date and aware of current job expectations.

"Michael [at Snap Editing] was very succinct in his wording which vastly improved upon my current resume ...

Why (or When) Should You Hire A Professional Resume Writer?

It can be difficult to know why you need a resume prepared by a professional writing service. But there are many common reasons why job seekers like you come to Snap Editing for a professionally written resume.

You`re not naturally talented in writing and lack confidence in creating your own resume. Besides, who is good at cutting their own hair?

Let us assume the task of the writing so you can focus on getting interviews.

English is not your first language.

Writing a resume in English can be very difficult; our language has subtle variations in tone or meaning depending on the words you’re using, and sentence structure can be tricky and/or cumbersome.

You don't know what to include in your resume.

Does the job ad make sense to you? What experience, education, skills and/or abilities does the recruiter or hiring manager really care most about? It's part of our job as resume writing specialists to analyze the job position description and effectively incorporate all your relevant information into your resume.

You don’t know how to define your strengths and weaknesses.

This is important because it might help you better determine if you are a good fit with the job you’re applying for (it’s also often an interview question, so it’s best to be prepared).

Your current resume isn`t doing anything for you.

If you’ve sent a few resumes but are just not getting interview calls, it could be that your resume needs professional improvement. Perhaps you're changing careers or your job or career level has changed. Perhaps you haven’t had to job-seek for some time and don’t realize how resume trends and HR recruitment techniques have changed. Our professional writers will assess your current resume and make an expert decision on what to cut, keep and change.

You simply don`t have time to write or re-write your resume.

There are many reasons why this could be the case for you. Once you provide us with the relevant details, our professional writers will carefully build and create your resume – so you can focus your valuable time elsewhere.

You’re perfectly happy with your job.

Wait... what kind of a reason is this? It’s a good idea to keep your resume up to date simply because you never know what might happen. It could be something as sudden and drastic as losing your job due to downsizing. Look what happened in 2020 with the pandemic. Or it could be that you will apply internally to get a job promotion.

You’ve probably heard of the phrase “being in the right place at the right time” as a measure of success. Snap Editing’s professional resume writers use the right words and the right formatting at the right time for you.

If you don’t have a resume, we will ask for details about your relevant experience (volunteer and/or work), achievements, hard (software, etc.) skills, and soft (time management, problem-solving, flexibility, etc.) skills and education, for example. You’ll need to collaborate with our resume specialists to help them understand your background, motivations, strengths, and achievements. We'll also ask about the type of jobs you’ll be applying to or a specific job ad.

What Should a Professional Resume Include?

Well, it should include a concise presentation of relevant experience and accomplishments and easily identifiable key skills. It should be encapsulated in an appealing and impressive layout and chronicle who you are and what you can do while optimally placing your most relevant qualifications to generate “hits” if the resume is scanned with applicant tracking software.
