"Whatever
you can do or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power
and magic in it. Begin it now." Johann von Goethe
 Resume
Development – Written specifically
with your career objectives in mind, and with a strong emphasis on your
personal brand and achievements. Using customized worksheets and telephone
consultations, we gather the information needed to develop a compelling
document for your professional needs.
Electronic
Resume – Created in a text format, this
version is used for online job forms or to copy and paste into the body
of an email message.
Career Letters
Cover Letter – This is an important part of
your career toolbox that provides valuable highlights of the skills
that you have to offer. Depending on the scope of your job search or
professional needs, one or more letters may be appropriate so that each
stands out as a job-focused document, tailored to fit specific needs,
rather than the use of one generic letter.
Follow-up
Letter – This
is an often overlooked gem for job seekers. It is a brief letter that
is generally sent out within a few weeks after your original mailing
that is designed to remind a hiring manager of your continued interest,
and gives you another opportunity to market your skills.
Thank
you Letter – According
to a recent survey, over 80% of hiring managers and recruiters indicated
that candidates who sent a thank you letter stood a better chance in
the hiring process, if they otherwise met the job requirements. This
is a professional courtesy that is overlooked by many job seekers. Give
your career package the competitive advantage with the addition of this
document.
Biographies and Executive Addenda –
Need a broader array of career documents to strengthen and round out
your portfolio? With the addition of a biography or achievement addendum,
you can be sure to outshine the competition.
Reference
Sheets – Keep
the professional image that you have earned with the addition of formally
prepared reference listings and endorsements. Give your yourself yet
another competitive edge.

Simply use the Contact A Step Ahead Resume form to upload your resume and let us know your questions and/or concerns. Or, you can email us at jill@astepaheadresume.com or just send a fax to (203) 413-4376.
We
will then provide you with a free professional evaluation. If your resume
doesn’t need improvement, we will let you know. If your resume does
need some "oomph", we’ll tell you where and why, and provide
a price quote.
Our
fees range from $175 for entry level to $750 and higher for senior executive
resumes, and we do apply discounts for packages, please inquire to learn
more.
If
you decide you would like to work with us, you'll receive a customized
questionnaire to complete that will help us uncover relevant information
about your career experience, achievements and strengths.
If needed, we will arrange a telephone consultation to discuss our strategy and clarify any needed data. We typically find that this is a critical part of the process -- it's important that we "connect" on the strategy and evolution of your new resume!
We’ll
write a resume and a draft will be available within 10 - 15 business days,
if not sooner.
Upon receipt of your draft, sent via email, let us know if you need additional edits.
Once
you’ve verified that your new resume meets with your satisfaction,
we’ll send the final version in Word and as a PDF. A text version
of your new resume can also be provided at no extra charge if you so choose.
