That’s what prospective employers do – their first stop after deciding to find out more about you is Google.  And while TKDAResume can’t do anything about those spring-break-in-Daytona pictures that keep popping up, we CAN make sure your LinkedIn profile and Facebook 411 help you look like a brilliant potential hire.

If you’re reading this, you understand the importance of a memorable resume.  Why put time and effort into carefully crafting that advertisement for Brand You and let your LinkedIn and Facebook pages languish, leaving them just so-so (or worse)?

To a hiring manager, your social-media presence is as much a part of your personal brand as your resume and cover letter.  Your profiles should work together to express who you are professionally and personally.  And it’s essential that they sound like you – only better.  That’s where we come in.

Facebook info a bit too casual?  LinkedIn profile dry as dust?  Disparity between the two akin to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde?  TKDAResume has a fix to fit your style.  E-mail us for a custom quote; we’ll turn your online multiple-personality disorder into a compelling, consistent suite of personal-branding platforms.

Don’t forget to ask about our package discounts – if one of our personal-branding specialists rewrites your resume (and rocks your cover letter), it’s that much easier to polish your social-media profiles, and our package pricing reflects that.

Ready to change your status, not just your status update?  Reach out to TKDAResume today.

“I just started sending out my resume, which I edited after getting TKDAResume’s excellent review comments.  I immediately noticed more responses coming in.  In fact, I can’t believe my original resume got me any work at all!  I’m also applying some of the resume reviewer’s suggestions to my website bio. Thanks so much!”

― Jyl Freeman, Senior Graphic Designer

It’s a little-known fact about resumes: Most employers, HR staff and recruiters skim them — and stop reading if nothing grabs their interest.  Truth is, you have about 15-30 seconds of their attention; you’d better make the most of it.

The summary is often what makes the employer read on to learn the details of a candidate’s experience — or hit “delete.”

Yet a vast majority of job-seekers either blow off the summary completely, or treat it as an afterthought.  Frequently, they fall back on the dreariest cliches (”excellent communication skills,” “out-of-the-box thinker,” “thought leader”), simply list the tasks they’ve handled or insert some obvious objective (duh — your objective is to get a job).

No matter what work experience you’ve had, and no matter how powerfully you performed in your previous positions, there’s a strong chance that those in a position to hire you won’t find out — unless your summary shines.

TKDAResume can buff your summary to a brilliant sparkle — or create a dazzling one from scratch — so you can monopolize your ideal boss’s attention from the get-go.  And while we’re at it, we’ll make sure the rest of your resume lives up to that grabber of an introduction.
