At the time I engaged YES for resume writing services, we were going through adjusting to the pandemic, and I wasn’t sure where things were going to lead. I decided I had been at my institution for a long time, and I wanted to see what other opportunities were out there that I might be interested in. That led me to contact YES to get my resume updated. After I engaged them, an opportunity came up and I had them tailor my resume toward that. That’s what led me to push through and get it the process completed. Initially, I had not had a target in mind. The service got me my resume to where it reads well, better than what I had written myself many years ago. Also, the strategic flow of the document itself was good. Personally, I’ve hired many people in the past. I go through lots of resumes. I don’t think about semantics when initially reviewing a resume, I look at the content. At the same time, I understand that the well-written resume, especially at an executive level or close to that, does have an impact. You’re communicating to the hiring manager through your resume, it’s not just a checklist of things that you are credentialed for. It needs to be written a certain way, and that’s why I went with YES. The final product didn’t change the content of my original resume, but it was well-written. The service was helpful because it saved my time. The whole process was encouraging. YES communicated and followed up promptly. For that alone, I would recommend them to anyone needing assistance writing or updating their resume.
