Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: There really is no right or wrong way to prepare a résumé. The goal is to portray your value to a prospective employer in a presentation which helps get you to the interview process. A Certified Professional Résumé Writer, as with others in the industry who provide the same type of service maintain current relationships with Human Resource Reps, and monitor labor market trends.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? My goal is to provide one-on-one service to clients, by helping them reach their career goals.

What do you like about this subject? The most gratifying aspect of providing my clients assistance with their résumé preparation is hearing their personal success story. It is a challenging, yet rewarding experience to portray a client's value to a prospective employer in a Professional Résumé Presentation.
