The Occupational Resume - Your Ticket to Your
Future
Whether you're an accountant or a zoologist, your profession
defines you, sustains you, and channels your future. The occupational resume is the embodiment of your professional
life -- on paper. It's your calling card, your foot in the proverbial door, the first impression you'll
likely make to prospective hiring officials. Obviously, it had better be good.
Most people, given enough time, can craft their own
occupational resume. It's not rocket science. But it does require a thorough understanding of contemporary resume
techniques, the ability to look at one's self through neutral eyes, and a knack for promoting without sounding
promotional.
If you think your time and energies would be better spent in
other aspects of the job search -- networking, for example -- there is a workaround. You can hire a professional
resume writer. With that in mind, former recruiter David Alan Carter recommends the following services... each with
a Better Business Bureau score of "A+ to B-."

Why We Selected These Companies
Since the Great Recession, seems like every Tom, Dick and
Harry has nailed up a shingle advertising 'resume writing services.' But putting up a shingle doesn't mean someone
can write, or has the necessary professional chops to craft a resume that will be competitive in today's tough job
market. Many of these newer shops are nothing more than middlemen frantically outsourcing the actual
writing to low-wage earners in India and elsewhere. In this economic climate, the last thing you want is an
occupational resume that was outsourced to someone in the Philippines who doesn't know you, your profession, or the
language.
We looked for resume writing services that met the following
criteria:
 |
That the firm has been in business long enough to have a track record that was
public. Longevity is key: long term success for an online service provider is difficult if not
impossible unless they embrace a pro-customer attitude. We looked for number of years in business,
customer complaints posted on web forums, and most importantly...
|
 |
That they were subject to ranking by the Better Business Bureau. The BBB typically
scores companies on a scale from 'A' to 'F' based on criteria including longevity (there's that
word again), sufficiency of information about the company, number and type of filed complaints, and
the response by the company to those complaints.
|
 |
That the breadth of services offered by the firm was adequate for the typical job
seeker (i.e., that they handled cover letters, related documentation, and multiple resume formats
such as e-resumes and PDF resumes).
|
 |
Finally, that the company had writers on their staff -- or within their network --
who not only had the technical expertise to write highly competitive resumes, but could tap
occupational experience that matched the background of their client.
|
The companies listed above were culled from the most popular
online resume writing services, the rejects of which could fill a phone book. They all have BBB (Better Business
Bureau) scores ranging from of A+ to B-. We're confident that any one of these four are up to the challenge of
crafting an occupational resume that will generate interviews. And that's pretty much all we can ask for in our
resume.
Best of luck,
Editor, OccupationalResumes.com
