Our Process

Your time is valuable. That's why I've made the High Impact process as convenient and painless for you as possible.

Unlike most of my competitors, I won't ask you to fill out a questionnaire. Instead, we will build content together through an interview/brainstorming session that is designed to discover your most marketable experiences, skills, strengths and accomplishments.

Although I would love to meet with you face to face, these days it's just not possible, since the vast majority of my clients are across Canada and the U.S. Therefore, I now conduct all content brain-storming sessions by phone. If your computer is set up for Skype videocalling, we can also try that. Most of my clients appreciate not having to travel to meet me. Many also like the fact that I now offer evening and weekend appointments -- something I never did when I had a fancy downtown office.

What are the advantages for you?

• it doesn't matter where you live -- Whether that's in a small town, a major urban centre or across the ocean, you now have access to one of North America's best professional resume writers.
  
• I can put you in the game -- Your new high impact resume will act as a powerful marketing tool that will position you to win job interviews!
  
• I can save you time -- As an experienced recruiter, I don't need you to get the facts on paper for me. In fact, given the choice between being buried under masses of paper or building the resume from the ground up, I usually prefer to build content from zero because I can then hone in on the most important facts. So it doesn't matter whether the starting point is nothing, or a resume you had done 10 years ago, or even an up-to-the minute resume that isn't getting you any interviews. I can interview you for the facts, and take your resume to completion with minimal time investment on your part. This leaves you free to do what you do best!
  
• no rushing, no traffic, no parking hassles -- You don't even have to leave the comfort of your own home or office. If you have a speakerphone, you will almost feel like you're having coffee with a friend. In fact, most of my clients tell me the process is much easier and more pleasant than they expected.

Once I have the content, I will invest many more hours in writing, rewriting, editing and proofreading your new resume, until it finally meets the High Impact quality standards. I will then send you a draft via e-mail or fax, and ask you to review the content to ensure it accurately reflects your background, personality, capabilities and future goals. This is your chance to provide input and make any changes necessary to ensure you are completely comfortable with the final product. Needless to say, I will work with you through any revisions until you feel the final product accurately represents your experiences, skills and career goals.

Upon completion, you will receive:

• your resume in Microsoft Word 2007 (and Word 2003 if you haven't upgraded your software yet), as well as PDF and Rich Text formats; these are sent to you first as e-mail attachments, so you can start using them immediately
• a rewritable CD (CD-RW) (this enables you to e-mail, revise or customize your own resume and cover letters)
• 5 color copies printed on high-quality cream or white resume paper

Normally, you should receive your CD and paper copies by mail within 2-5 business days. However, depending on your timelines, you may wish to have us courier these to you sooner, for an additional cost.

Fees are outlined under each client category (see the links on the left side of this page). We accept Visa, MasterCard or Interac Email Transfers. Please note that a 50% deposit is required at the end of the brainstorming session. The remainder is payable when your resume is approved, or within 48 hours of e-mailing the first draft to you, whichever comes sooner. If you require more than 48 hours to review your resume for possible revisions, I would be happy to give you an extra week or two, provided that I receive your final payment authorization (either verbally or in writing) within 48 hours.

Are you getting the results you want with your current resume? If not, maybe it's time to do something about it.

As the President and Executive Resume Writer at High Impact Resumes, I take pride in producing powerful resumes that position my clients to win. If your resume is not doing that for you, maybe it's time to do something about it.
