"Another Plane of Quality!"

What a great experience this has been. Even though I had created my resume with all the right guidelines, I was still impressed with the transformation that has taken place. Aesthetics, formatting, and quality of writing were all greatly improved. And let’s not forget my LinkedIn profile, which is on another plane of professionalism and quality. I definitely recommend Ampresume to gain a decisive career advantage.

"A Decisive Career Advantage"

Darrin Issa, ABS Contractors

The Problem

Darrin is head of the cost control department at his company, having been promoted to that position after just one year of service. Even though he is satisfied with his job and income, he decides to test the job market for new opportunities. To ensure he gets the best possible offers, Darrin needs to update his resume and LinkedIn profile.

The problem: His resume is out of date, using obsolete formatting and an uninspired career summary. It also severely undersells his professional achievements.

  • His career summary is too short and light on details.
  • He uses a functional resume format, but his career history is better suited to a reverse-chronological resume.
  • His skills section is too long. In most cases, you should aim for no more than 12 skills.
  • His work history section is empty, lacking both skills and achievements.

 

Time and time again, we see a lack of clear achievements in our clients’ resumes. Achievements are doubly important for senior and executive-level positions – even more so for department heads. Employers want to see how you have measurably contributed to your company’s goals, enhanced efficiency, and improved profitability.

The Solution

We switch to a reverse-chronological resume format, allowing us to highlight Darrin’s rapid rise up the corporate ladder to get the top job in his department after just one year of service. Additionally, Darrin had several cost-cutting accomplishments under his belt that needed to be included. At the same time, we removed many of the skills that were irrelevant to his career goals.

Darrin’s new LinkedIn profile uses an engaging and conversational tone to convey his career progression in a relatable manner. The work experience section goes into more detail than his resume about his professional accomplishments, exploring the “how” and “why” to add a new layer of detail and complexity to his rich job history.

The Core Message

Darrin is an accomplished cost controller with a history of overachievement and a background of saving money, enhancing efficiency, and fiscally holding people to account.

The Result

After getting a few job offers and weighing his options, Darrin now has more clarity as to his real market value – clarity which he leverages to negotiate better pay. After interviewing for several promising positions and skillfully negotiating the terms of his package, Darrin accepts an exceptional offer with an upcoming company. He loves how quick and painless the resume writing process is, and feels more confident now that he can better articulate his skills and accomplishments.
