The business world is increasingly competitive in the number of positions available as modern technology has eliminated some positions while creating a need for others. The key today is specialization and a well-written resume can help you "stand out" in a potential employer's eyes. Since many individuals are either unaware of a résumé’s importance or lack the con-fidence in their ability to write a competitive resume, a resume writing service can address both needs. Proper advertising of the service can educate people as to the résumé’s importance, while advertising alone may well generate more calls than you can handle from people who know a good resume is crucial and want some "expert" help in constructing their "masterpiece". Employers use resumes today to narrow down the list of people they want for an interview. Specialization has employers looking for particular talents, but often a memorable resume can help get an interview even if all of their "requirements" for the job aren't present. You don’t need much to get a resume service off the ground. First, you should study the various books on how to write a good resume. Practice a few formats and have samples ready for potential customers to review. Second, you will need a computer with a word-processing program or even just a good memory typewriter. If you have a computer and can afford a laser printer, all the better. But remember, you're not in the printing business, you are simply creating the resume for your client. Finally, this is an easy business to operate out of your home. If you have an area sufficient to put a computer or typewriter, you can start. Pick up a file cabinet, or the smaller, plastic file boxes to store client files. Your client's need for a resume probably won't end one effort. Another job search is likely to occur down the road and the client will probably come back to you for an update, especially if they were successful getting a job the first time around. Keeping a client's past resume on file can assist you for further work later. As you research your resume writing, make a list of verbs that are common for resume writing, such as: - administered - managed - analyzed - operated - completed - organized - coordinated - prepared - created - started - designed - supervised - developed - trained - evaluated - wrote These lists will assist you in writing your resumes very quickly without constantly referring to a thesaurus. Time is of the essence to a freelance writer; there are shortcuts to producing quality work without spending hours and hours on a given piece.
