Resume or Cover Letter Review & Update

Service Description

I will tailor and update your resume or other document collaboratively with you, make the edits for you during the time of our call, spend additional time tailoring it personally for you after the meeting for a specific job if applicable, & send you an email afterward with additional feedback or edit recommendations you can continue to implement on your own. Are you tired of not hearing back when you submit job applications? Are you applying to graduate school and want to stand out? Email me your resume, cover letter, or personal statement and let's make sure you shine so you can actually get a response and a chance to interview! To book this session please send an email to alaina@askalaina.com with your request & material as a Word Doc., plus the job or program description if you are applying for a specific opportunity. We will schedule a meeting to speak about your material & goals, while looking at your document together. We will meet for 60 minutes over Zoom or phone to speak about your transferable skills, why you want the job(s) you are looking for, and go over formatting changes to your document together. I will seek to understand your job search goals & skills from your past experiences, and will run any changes I plan to make by you for approval during this time. We will also review best practices for networking and other recommendations to ensure you have the best chances of being offered an interview, beyond just your resume. After this meeting, I may spend more time on my own personally updating and re-writing your 1 document for you. This will ensure that your document is tailored & Applicant Tracking System-friendly, so it shines for the job(s) you are seeking and makes it through the internal screening system to be read by a human. During our conversation, I will let you know when I can return your materials by (typically within 1-2 business days of our meeting, if not that exact same day!). I will then email you back your 1 document with feedback by or before the day stated during our meeting. This service includes 1 additional review via email to make sure you are satisfied! If you are tired of spending tons of time and energy writing your materials and never hearing back or it leading anywhere, we will make sure your materials are tailored, tell your story, and sell your skills, so that you can actually get a response from someone and not just get ruled out by the Applicant Tracking System, or beaten out by the competition!
