PDI Launches Innovative Resume Consulting and Analysis Service

NO ONE should write your resume for you. That's why Personnel Dept. Inc. launched www.ResumeDoctor.com, which provides personalized resume analysis via a unique author / editor relationship.

Burlington, VT. (June 28, 2002) PDI, Vermont's largest independently owned staffing and placement agency, has just launched www.resumedoctor.com - a brand new approach to resume consulting and analysis.

Almost all job seekers have a resume put together, if not, they are very ill prepared. Many times it is not the lack of skills or experience that is preventing the job seeker from getting "that call," but often it is the resume itself and how these skills and professional experiences are showcased.

According to Mike Worthington of ResumeDoctor.com, "One of the biggest and most common mistakes a job seeker makes is not realizing a resume is simply a 'marketing' piece about how the job seeker's skills and experience relate to the position they are seeking. In short, this means that a resume only has 20 seconds to grab the reader's attention. If the resume fails to do so in 20 seconds, the reader simply moves on to the next candidate.

Another critical mistake is not having the understanding of how to draft a resume effectively for communication in today's electronic and Internet age. Having this understanding is paramount in today's job search process."

The staff at ResumeDoctor.com is comprised of experienced recruiters and staffing professionals who literally see hundreds of resumes a day either coming across their desks or in their email inboxes. Unlike typical resume writing services, having years of experience as recruiters gives all of the ResumeDoctor.com staff members the insight of why a resume was or was not selected. This is valuable information that a typical resume writing service on the web is not privy.

Mike goes on to add, "I think what makes ResumeDoctor.com different is our approach and philosophy, which is that no one can write a resume better than the job seeker, plus we are affordable to everyone. Our service can be best compared to an author/editor relationship wherein the author, (in this case the job seeker), provides their resume in its present state and the staff at ResumeDoctor.com offers the job seeker an honest, detailed analysis and critique of the resume and how their skills were presented. Furthermore, we provide the job seeker with the framework they need to 'sell' their skills and show the job seeker how to customize their resume based on the job they are seeking. Like an editor, we show the job seeker how to fix the various problem areas of their individual resume. Whether it is too long, too dense, makes them look too old, or is not clear, or simply put never "sold" the candidate to the employer, we catch all of these mistakes and present the best ways to fix them."
