Targeted Resumes, Personalized Cover Letters and LinkedIn Editing
"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life…"
Steve Jobs
How It Works
1. Well, you can send me a copy of your current resume. peter@acmecv.com . it’s a great way to start. Two things to remember- confidentiality and commitment. Your privacy is our central concern- you can be sure that your information will not be shared with anyone else. And we do not use any email marketing methods or sell addresses to others. And no invoice will be sent until you love the final product and are eager to submit it. Pay for results, not promises.
2. New to the job Market? Can’t find your old resume? We can send a brief outline of the necessary information that we’ll need to begin.
3. Now the important part. We will research the important keywords, skills, and experience that employers in your region are looking for. Employers who offer great opportunities receive thousands of resumes. Instead of hundreds of reviewers, they rely on a text search algorithm ( known as an ATS or Applicant Tracking System) which counts the number of specific keywords that they are interested in and assign a score. Top scores go into a short list. Everybody else gets a polite “Thanks, but No Thanks.” I’ll compare your history with this keyword research and come up with a short list of additional questions to position you as a strong candidate for the job and ensure that your resume is ATS friendly.
4. When I receive the information, I’ll send a first draft for review and comment. This is when you personalize your resume. This is when I get comments like “I forgot to tell you, but...”. It’s where the magic happens.
5. Once you approve the final draft, you will receive a targeted resume and a general cover letter that you can use to craft your own cover letter. An even better strategy is to send a link to the position you are most excited about. Then I can target both the resume and cover letter. At this stage I schedule most requests in 24 hours.
6. Terrified by the interview process? Interview coaching is available and included. Remember this is a low stress experience. We honestly care about your success. Let us join your team.
Ease Of Use
We feel strongly that a focus on your busy lifestyle is what sets us apart. We have never met a customer who doesn’t already have a full plate. Between their current job, responsibilities to friends and family, and maybe a side hustle or two you don’t have the time to worry about details. We’ will be here when you need us. We take phone calls outside of the normal 9 to 5 (including weekends), so you will always have the help you need to reach your goals. And we are sensitive to your personal communications style. Some people would rather speak over the phone, others like email, messaging, or a favorite chat platform. Whatever your preference we are ready.
Find Work That's Worth It
The top reasons employees leave for better jobs as reported by the US Chamber of Commerce
1. Low pay
2. No opportunities to advance.
3. Feeling disrespected
4. Childcare issues
5. Lack of flexibility
6. Poor benefits
7. Company culture
8. Feeling burnt out.
9. Strained relationship with management
Picture what it would be like to earn the money that you deserve. Think about a job with respect and opportunities for advancement. And don’t get me started on evil managers. Several years ago, my daughter was graduating with honors from The University of Buffalo. About two weeks before her graduation, I spoke with my boss about leaving at noon on that Friday, so that I could catch my flight from LaGuardia. He agreed. When noon came on the big day, I got a 15-minute rant about taking time off and questioning my “lack of commitment to the job. I guess he forgot that I hadn’t taken any vacation for the past two years.
You have a vision .... we have a way to get you there....

About Career Results
"As Finance / Hiring Manager for a Manhattan hospital system, I’ve reviewed thousands of resumes and interviewed hundreds of candidates. Over that time, I learned what experience and skills employers are searching for. After starting my own successful resume writing service, I researched competing online services, and developed a list of the principles that a resume service should follow. These attitudes are the basis of everything we do. Your resume is too important for anything less.
Honesty
For two reasons. First, how we market our service. We strive to explain what we offer, how we do it and why it’s important to your future. In plain English. You won’t find rows of Logos of Fortune 500 companies with no other explanation. 50 AWARDS! From what company? For what? It doesn’t say. Do they really have 100 Writers?
More importantly is your resume, the reason we are here. We take the time to identify the strengths that you bring to the table and present them clearly to potential employers. Yes, we “Sell the Sizzle”, but responsibly.
Communication
With You. I don’t hide behind the latest HR doublespeak. I will explain what I did, why I did it and how it helps you land the best job possible. No smokescreen. I listen to and value your suggestions. This is your resume, and it should sound like you. During the final review, I am happiest when “Your Draft” becomes “My Resume” to a customer.
Transparent Pricing
We are talking about your time and money here. You need to know that you are getting everything you need to succeed, and most importantly, exactly what it will costs. The truth will set you free. I have set prices based on the amount of time it takes to create it. More years of experience > More text > More research > More Time. I don’t charge more for a federal resume, or an “Executive Package”. Or for a position that offers higher rate of pay than average. Scroll down for our Menu…. it’s clear and no hidden surprises. And I do research to make sure that my prices are competitive and offer the best value for your money.
