Recruiters and employers are getting hundreds, if not thousands of applications for every job they post. And being a qualified applicant is meaningless if they never see your resume in the first place. It’s important to have a professionally-written resume so that it can pass through many automated screening filters and get to the hiring manager’s desk. It’s also important that once there, your resume makes a statement and stands out from the crowd. After all, you only get once chance to make a lasting impression, and one chance to convince an employer to call you in for an interview.
