Resume writing has always seemed to be a very personal. Resume writing is a type of academic writing jobs highly different from other writing jobs I come across at the site every day. Therefore, I can share some secrets of my success with beginning resume writers, since I know that though the order cancellation is mostly impossible to prevent, there are many ways of diminishing the threat of this event.
When I start writing a resume for the person, I study the type of the resume the person needs, and organize the data I receive from his/her background data according to their needs. In case it is a chronological resume, the information can be organized according to educational and employment milestones, and only expertise, achievements, and skills can be organized in a summative way. However, in case it is a functional resume, I need to study all data provided by the customer, and adjust it to the job he or she is looking for. In this case, I need to display the customer's skills and strengths in the way that the employer will see and notice, concealing the gaps in experience or education.
Some other pieces of advice may refer to the organization of information in a resume. In case the customer wants a job change, the resume should emphasize transferable skills that allow him or her to occupy different positions. In case it is a resume targeted at a certain job, there is a necessity to focus on the duties, certification, and education relevant for that specific job. In case the customer wants a similar job but with a higher pay, I as a writer focus on the customer's achievements, and try to show on figures, names, statistics, etc. why he or she is worth that money. However, the final and the most important piece of advice is to never copy and paste the customer's phrases (since they all look for something different, and do not want to see their own words in the resume they paid for) and to include all information provided by the customer (in case they do so, they consider it important).
