Many recruiters spend very little time looking at your resume and cover letter before deciding if it makes it to the 2% pile of resumes that will be considered for an interview. You have little to no margin for error in terms of what information should grab their attention. One of the best investments you can make for your career is a highly competitive resume that stands out.

If you are unhappy with your current job and are ready for your next challenge, the first thing you want to do is to stop applying for jobs. Next, you should consult with a career coaching company to get clarity about what you are looking for in a new job, so you don't waste your time interviewing with companies that may not meet your top criteria. The last step would be learn from your career coach on how to do some market research and networking with companies that fit your criteria. Since 38% of best paying jobs are not even advertised, clients of YES Career Coaching and Resume Writing Services use our techniques to get in front of hiring managers.

If you are receiving interview requests, employers find you technically qualified for the positions they are trying to fill. However, employers use three dimensions to determine that you are a good fit for their company. The first is the head (your behavioral assessment), second is  the briefcase (your resume), and the third is heart (your beliefs, attitude and culture fit). You must be doing a good job with answering technical interview questions but the interviewers are not falling in love with you during the process. Mastering new interview skills that builds strong rapport and forms strong chemistry with the interviewers helps to overcome this challenge.  We recommend you schedule your free consultation at YES Career Coaching & Resume Writing Services to learn more about our proprietary interview technique that ensures you will not leave the interview until you have discovered all the interviewer's objection and have used the technique so they have overcome their own objections about you.

The best way to find out if a resume writing service can help you is to have a free consultation with them. Many great companies have comprehensive reviews by their clients, and you want to review those reviews thoroughly. You can ask for sample resumes to review, but don’t fall for fancy looks of their resume. Hiring managers are looking for resumes that reflect your accomplishments and what you can do for them, not how pretty the graphics look.

As stated above, start with a free consultation and make sure you understand the process they are using to develop your resume. Ask about a timeline and types of guarantees they offer. To learn the details of how to hire the best Seattle resume writing services, study this article which describes the exact criteria to use during your research.

Seattle is a beautiful city known for its stunning mountains and forests, as well as its thriving tech industry. Companies such as Amazon, Microsoft, Starbucks, and Expedia are all headquartered in Seattle. The cost of living in Seattle is higher than the national average. The 2 bedroom rent in Seattle is $2,410 per month compared to the US average of $1,430. The Grocery Cost Index is 109 compared to 100 in the US. However, despite higher costs, Seattle remains an attractive destination for many due to its job opportunities and beautiful scenery.

Here are recent trends about the job market:

Seattle is a well-employed area, and the unemployment rate is the same as the national rate. In addition to technology jobs at companies like Amazon, Microsoft and Zillow, Seattleites find careers in major industries like biotech and health care, and maritime industries, including both shipping and fishing. The metro area also has a significant manufacturing industry, with companies like Boeing and Weyerhaeuser employing a number of residents.
