My name is Todd Fagan and I have worked as a recruiter in the Staffing area of Human Resources for Fortune 200 companies for over 20 years. I have assessed, scored and ranked 10’s of thousands of resumes during that time; working closely with hiring managers regarding what knowledge, skills and experience their top candidates should have. I have worked on multiple levels of staff needs, from entry
-level craft and laborers, college age interns, journey-level craft workers, administrative aids and executive assistants, analysts and accountants, engineers and project managers, supervisors and managers, executive level positions and more. How long should it be? How far back should I go? What are “key words”? Does anyone even read my resume? Why do I get declined for jobs I’m qualified for? Can I use strawberry scented pink paper? So, you may think you should go to a professional resume service for help, which may indeed be a good idea. Many services advertise “teaser rates” that may be attractive, but then you discover that it actually cost’s MORE than the advertised rate – sometimes quite a bit more. I have heard stories of a $99 resume service costing over $200. Some folks have even told me that they have paid over $500 for a resume! In addition, many resume services employee talented and smart writers, but writers that have never worked as a recruiter, working directly with a hiring manager, building job descriptions and assessing candidates, like I have. Also, I have personally sat in on and conducted thousands of interviews, asking questions and scoring and ranking responses. This makes me uniquely qualified to further understand what a hiring manager is looking for, from a candidates resume and also during an interview. My services are personal, professional, and are reasonable in costs; relying on my past recruiter experience. I will work to edit your currently written resume in any condition, making recommendations, moving text, re-writing and re-phrasing and sometimes re-formatting it to make it as solid a representation of you as possible. I can even help you prepare for your upcoming interview. When we complete our business together, you should have more confidence and assurance as you move forward in the mysterious world of applied for a job. I can work with any professional level client from entry level to management, however; my edit / re-write price- conscience professional service is more appropriately focused on entry to mid-level office and craft candidates, as well as college students. I believe most other resume services ask too high a price for these talented candidates.
