Your Best Marketing Tool
Employers & Decision Makers: Your most effective marketing tool, your resume's primary purpose is to present you to employers and decision makers. Those who read your resume will be reading it with just one question in mind, "Why should I hire you?"
Recruiters: Advantage One knows that recruiters searching for qualified candidates need to know that you meet guidelines specified by the clients they represent. The better you are able to prove you meet their client's wants and needs, the more likely the recruiter will be to support you for the available position!
Screeners: A company's screener may not fully comprehend the intricacies of an available position, but they can still eliminate you and your resume from the competition based on certain criteria. If you want to be one of those who moves up to the next level, Advantage One will ensure that your resume measures up to their written job description.

Résumé Format & Styles
The Chronological Resume format used to be the standard…
But this isn't the clothing industry
and résumés are not a "one size fits all."
A variety of employment levels and multiple formats now impact resume development. Let Advantage One help you determine which format is best for you.
| Chronological |
For careers that have followed a consistent, well-defined path up the corporate ladder.
|
| Targeted |
Its focus is on targeting skills for a specific career field or job type, especially if you lack directly related experience.
|
| Functional |
A functional resume format is designed to highlight skills best
suited for a new career path, with special attention to areas of expertise and transferable skills.
|
| Scannable |
Most companies now use scanning software to read resumes and search for key industry buzz words. Your resume will be scanned
into a computer database and, when a position opens up, the most qualified individuals are called for interviews.
|
| Curriculum Vitae |
Appropriate for professionals in highly skilled fields such as Psychology, Law, Education, Medicine, or similar careers and usually site specific case studies.
|
| Artistic/Creative |
A unique approach to the standard formats above, this resume is created in various brochure formats, both colorful and classy!
|
| Marketing Resume |
For the independent entrepreneur or business professional to provide clients with professional background information not relevant to a company brochure.
|
| eResume |
When uploading your resume to the Internet for posting to job search websites, this format is essential for clarity.
|
|
Résumé Storage and Update Options
Hassle free, long-term storage of your resume file is provided for your convenience. In addition, keeping your resume information current is important. New opportunities come along when you least expect them, so Advantage One will keep you up to date by sending you annual reminders for up to three years after the completion of your resume.

"I can’t believe what
a fantastic job you did on my new resume and cover letter. You
included details I’d never have thought of! I know that’s why I
got two job offers almost immediately." |

~ Paula Summers,
San Ramon, CA

|
"The cover letter
you wrote for me reads very well. It does a great job of
tying in my experience and matching it to the job
description. Thank you for all your hard work and
persistence. I’ll be recommending you to my friends and
colleagues." |

~ G.C. Rogers,

"In addition to your fees
for preparing my wife's
resume, I'm sending you an
extra $100. This will probably mess up your books, but
as a bystander observing
all the back and forth
between you and Kassie, getting the resume ready and transmitted, I stood in
awe! Thank you so much for all your help and the support
you gave her. This is my small way of saying thanks!" |

thank them enough for their

my resume was a big factor
