Geary & Associates, Inc. will help develop and prepare a custom resume tailored to your employment objective. We are not a resume writing service, however. There are no magic words that will describe your experience. We can not create experience and skills you do not possess. We assist you in preparing the resume with your involvement and collaboration. When your proof and approve the final version, we will prepare a print version of your resume and provide a copy on a disk.

Just what is a resume?

A resume is an “argument” that supports your candidacy for a position. Resumes by themselves do not get people jobs- people get jobs. A resume can help get interviews. The development of a resume leads the job applicant through a process that will result in maximum preparedness. The resume is used as a calling card that is sent to an employer in order to get an invitation to come in for an interview. In the interview, the resume is a cue card that lists talking points.

What you must do to prepare the resume?

We can only prepare a resume based on your employment experience, education, and training; your knowledge of the position objective; and your accomplishments. It is essential that you have also targeted employers. Your research on this information is essential. We can help you with the research and suggest how to express your skills in the language (key words) most appropriate to your objective.

It is vital that the information on the resume is not overstated or exaggerated. Accurate and credible information on the resume is essential if you want to feel confident. Employers can quickly spot an exaggerated or inflated resume. Job seekers attempt to place too much information on a resume. So called 'professional' resumes are simply effective and well researched resumes. A researched resume is the best preparation for the oral interview. Resumes, however, do not get jobs. They assist in getting interviews. That is all.

We will suggest or review if requested the text for a cover letter. Cover letters are personal and brief. Therefore, cover letters should be prepared by you. The most important content of the cover letter are the addressee's name, title, and address, the specific job title that the resume covers, and what you are going to do to follow up after submitting the resume and cover letter.

How Can We Help?

Individuals will often contact Geary & Associates, Inc. when they need assistance in updating a resume to address a specific position and assistance in writing cover letters. We can also suggest job development activities to use the resume in the job search. We can provide information on the mechanics of submitting resumes and cover letters via e-mail, facsimile transmission (fax) and via a company’s web sites. Call Edelweiss Geary and schedule an immediate appointment. There is no charge for a brief E-mail message or telephone conversation to discuss fees and your needs.

Why are keywords and accuracy important?

The employer may be using specialized computer application software to search scanned resumes for “keywords” representing the information and skills required by the targeted position. The employer may also use computer software to automate the background checks based on the demographic information, work history and education you provide.

About the fees to develop a resume

Preparing a resume takes time and thought. Few workers are able to easily identify job skills and express the skills in the terminology required on the resume. Workers are so close to job skills that the skills are taken for granted. Most workers do not spend time every day referring to job skills (knowledge, functions and behavior) in the technical skill language preferred on the resume. Consequently, workers experience anxiety in preparing a resume. We are translators. We will spend time with you to identify the transferable marketable skills needed to support the job objective. We then will spend time to take what you give up to assemble a resume for your approval.

You do not pay a fee for resume. You pay a fee for our time to consult with you to assist you in preparing the resume. Once you proof and approve the final version we will prepare a print copy and a copy on a disk. You can modify the resume as needed.
