As a professional resume writer I can honestly tell you that there is definitely more to resume writing than meets the eye. Now, I can say that I write resumes for a living and my perfect resume will guarantee more call backs and interviews. The whole truth is that I’m only human and even I can make mistakes. That’s why I take all the help I can to build my perfect resume and every other resume writer will, more or less, say the same.
One of the most useful tools in a resume writer’s proverbial shed is a Resume Builder. A resume builder is a fully automated compiler that asks users the most basic of information and presents them with a resume. BAM! And it’s just that simple.
Of course, that’s not all there is to resume writing but a resume builder definitely does get a lot of the work done. In this article, find out how builders make life easier for professionals and job seekers, alike.
Resume Formatting
For creating my perfect resume, the first thing I have to establish is what kind of formatting I’m going to use. When I’ve established the work experience, educational history and skill set of my client, I can determine which resume format is applicable. That being taken care of I now have to adjust the structure of the resume i.e determining the font sizes used in each section, aligning margins and finally I have to make sure the resume will pass through ATS.
With a resume builder this entire process is made easier as the final structure of the resume always fits on one page without me having to do a lot of tinkering about. I used My Resume Lift’s builder as it has always given me ATS friendly results.
Resume Templates
Resume templates determine the visual output of the resume. In other words it shows you what your resume will look like. For resume writers, determining a resume template design takes a little bit of research. You have to determine what industry fits best for your client and look at industry resume examples to determine what I will emulate. After this I will either have to go searching for my perfect resume template or build one from scratch.
A Resume builder will have multiple resume templates built into it. So all I have to do is look at some resume examples on My Resume Lift and determine which template would suit my client best.
Targeted Resumes
All experts know that the one ‘size fits’ all approach to resume making is bad as HR Managers don’t respond well to it. Therefore, for best results make multiple targeted resumes for specific jobs. Building resumes from scratch one by one just takes too much time and effort.
Resume builders are quick and easy to use and give you results in just a few minutes. So, making multiple resumes doesn’t seem like that much of a chore.
Content
This is the part that most resume writers will have trouble with. Even if you’re the most qualified person for the position, a poorly written resume can really hurt your chances. Determining what goes into a client’s resume can be a real headache, especially when getting into the details.
A resume builder takes all your worries away with suggestions and preset content. These provide professions and skills, work history and professional summaries related to aforementioned professions.
This way, my perfect resume not only has unique content but all content is relevant to the targeted job.
Affordability
Professional resume writing services can be quite pricey. Especially, if you’re a recent graduate or are trying to save a bit of money. They can run you up to $1000, depending who you talk to. Although the results are excellent, their major targets are professionals already looking for a vertical move professionally.
A resume builder is cheap and can be used by anyone. That is to say, a resume builder is a great investment for professionals and newbies alike.
Results
From my experience the results from a builder are really worth the price. Resumes come out looking beautiful and professional, ready to be sent out to employers.
