Process

What is the process working with Fresh Start Resumes? It involves a collaborative and tailored approach to crafting your compelling professional narrative. The iterative process of draft creation and client review ensures that the final product not only reflects your individuality but also aligns seamlessly with your targeted roles. I aim to deliver a polished document that positions you for success in your job search endeavors.

 

Here is a general overview of the Fresh Start resume writing process:

​

• Initial Consultation:

  • The process begins with an initial consultation and client questionnaire. After your initial outreach, I will send you my client questionnaire that has some basic questions about your work history and career aspirations.

  • I’ll then set up a time to discuss the questionnaire, along with an existing resume and links to jobs you’re interested in.

  • During this consultation, I’ll gather information about your career goals, work history, skills, accomplishments, and any specific preferences or requirements.

​

• Document Submission:

  • You submit your existing resume, if available, along with any additional materials such as job descriptions or links to specific positions you are targeting.

​

• Draft Creation:

  • Using the information we discussed, I will create an initial draft of your resume. This draft typically includes a professional summary, work experience, education, skills, and other relevant sections.

  • I will identify keywords relevant to your target position(s) to optimize your resume for applicant tracking systems (ATS).

​

• Client Review:

  • You receive the initial draft and review. This stage is crucial for gathering feedback and making revisions based on your preferences and input.

​

• Revision Process:

  • I will collaborate with you to make necessary revisions. This may involve refining language, adjusting formatting, and ensuring that the resume aligns with your goals.

​

• Finalization:

  • Once you are satisfied with the revised draft, I will finalize the resume to include proofreading for grammar and consistency and ensuring that the final resume presents a polished and professional image.

​

• Additional Services (Optional):

  • If your package includes an optional cover letter or LinkedIn profile optimization, we will follow a similar process of drafts and reviews, catered to target roles, until you are satisfied with the final products.

​

• Delivery of Final Documents:

  • The final resume, and any additional documents or services, are delivered to you via email in a format suitable for online job applications or printing.

Throughout the process, communication is essential to ensure that your final resume accurately represents your professional background and meets your expectations. Still have questions? Send me an email!
