TKDAResume

Googled yourself lately?

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.

What’s wrong with my resume?

To answer that, ask yourself these questions:

• Is your summary good enough to get the recruiter to read on?
• Is your resume organized “functionally,” strategically by importance, or is it arranged chronologically, with your most important human-resource equities hidden way down the page?
• Does it demonstrate your initiative, problem-solving skills and methods for addressing issues in the workplace?
• Does it vividly illustrate how you’ve affected the bottom line with dollar signs, number of hours saved, percentages of efficiency, productivity and/or creativity enhanced?
• Does it capture the person behind the data?  Is it creative – like you?
• Does your resume contain the right keywords, the kind of language a computer would match against a job listing?

Is it articulate and literate?  Is it immaculately proofread?  Does it fit elegantly on one page?  Can you maintain an objective perspective on your skills, experience and personal traits?

Still wondering what might be wrong with your resume?

Is TKDAResume worth it for ME?

Unless you’re a professional writer with years of experience in the business of “selling” personalities, are highly organized, and are able to identify holes in your resume and craft compelling content to fill them, it’s worth it for you.

Unless you know exactly what recruiters are looking for in this historically difficult job market and how to give it to them, it’s worth it for you.

Unless you know how to effectively “spin” your experience to qualify you for your dream job, it’s worth it for you.

But I’m a creative; I get hired from my portfolio.

In this market, a recruiter may not even look at your portfolio unless she already has a compelling reason to do so.  Your resume has to not only speak for YOU – it has to speak for your portfolio.  Does it?  If the recruiter isn’t bowled over by your resume, she may not bother to look at your portfolio.

Is a resume really that important?

Yes.  Your resume speaks for you when you can’t.
