Job applications do not present all the applicant's qualifications. Before the interview, employers now demand work records, natural talents, and personality traits. A well-written résumés saves employers time by identifying those applicants whose backgrounds and goals come closest to the company's needs.
A Service Needed
Everyone, with or without a résumé, is looking for a way to get a foot in the door of the job or career they want. A professionally written résumé, a sales presentation of their qualifications and experience, helps get them the job they want. Basically, people are lazy and would rather pay someone else to write their résumé than take the time to learn how and do it themselves. Just as you are willing to pay a doctor, dentist, or investment broker, those who need a résumé are willing to pay you for this service. The market exists in every city and town in this country, and the demand for this service grows daily. Here is a business you can start for next to nothing
No special knowledge, education, or experience is required for success in this business. An awareness of the general format of the résumé, a good typewriter or computer with a laser printer, and a desire to help people find employment are all you need to start. To prepare yourself properly, invest in a good book on how to write job-winning résumés. Be sure it also discusses both the format of the résumé and the cover letter.
Once you are organized with space and equipment, you are ready for business. All that is necessary from that point will be advertising, client interview, and producing the final product.
