Why shouldn’t I write my own resume?

I used to think that way too.  The first time I really examined this question was as a Human Resources (HR) professional whose mind was boggled over seeing so many subpar resumes. I learned that, even if we write well, we don’t really see ourselves objectively and, thus, don’t present ourselves in the most favorable way possible on a resume. Trust me on this one.

Why should I choose Tandem Resumes?

My experience working in HR and leadership positions gives me an edge; I know what recruiters, hiring managers (and computerized screeners!) want to see.  Most importantly, though, I know how to present YOU in the best light by using my full range of HR and career/personal development competencies.  It’s about more than a resume - you can’t put a price on that.

How does that differentiate you in terms of your specific process?

I pride myself on my highly individualized process that goes far beyond writing great resume content; I have a passion for my work and am always looking for ways to maximize each client’s experience based on my broad skill set.  For instance, I have made my resume maximizing survey a standard part of every project. It proved overwhelmingly beneficial to my career coaching clients, so I decided to extend it to all of my clients (no extra charge).

So I’ll work directly with you?

Absolutely. You’ll work directly with me, Kent, via the Internet. It works great and is very convenient. Tandem is growing, and, although I am in the United States, I now help people in locations all over the world. Because I also do consulting work, helping organizations with recruiting and other HR initiatives, I can be a pretty busy guy, so I do have support.

Do you create resumes for people in senior-level positions?

I have extensive experience creating resumes for people in executive positions. The approach I use for executives has proven to be especially effective, and they now account for a large part of my client base.

What if I don’t even have a resume?

I help many people in the same boat. Other people have different needs: a resume targeted for government work, a resume that suits a new career,  a LinkedIn profile, or perhaps a CV.  Let me know what you’re looking for. 

My resume is great, but I can’t seem to interview successfully.

I aim to bolster my clients’ success across the entire job search process.  For instance, I provide career development services, post job offer (salary negotiation) prep and even mock interviews, ensuring that you present yourself confidently.

What’s the cost? How is payment handled? Are credit cards accepted?

I use PayPal to process all payments.  Their website is 100% secure, they accept credit cards and you don’t have to be a “member” to use their site. Because my process is highly individualized, there is no “standard” price.  Once I learn about your specific situation, I can provide an exact quote.

Do you provide some sort of guarantee?

The project is not done until you are 100% satisfied.  You’ll have the opportunity to suggest revisions etc. at any time during/after the process.

What about file formats, security and privacy?

Your resume can be formatted in a variety of ways, including: Word .doc, PDF and ASCII. I understand your concerns about security and privacy. For more information, read Tandem’s Privacy Policy or contact me for details on my approach to both.

What if I have other questions?

Please send off an e-mail.  I want you to have all of your questions answered.  Only with highly personalized service can I create top-notch resumes!
