Customized packages are built with the client’s goal and budget in mind, and include the following services:

This is your opportunity to optimize your most important career marketing tool. 

A great resume is succinct, relevant, and to the point. It highlights your skills, abilities, and knowledge while backing up your claim with specific examples. It leaves out the frills and unnecessary details, while creating an authentic representation of who you are and promoting the best version of your professional self – and landing at the top of the stack! 

Your resume is your first impression on potential employers – there are no second chances. This is exactly why your resume should be as unique as you are; it should highlight your best aspects and accomplishments, while passing through Applicant Tracking Systems and attracting the hiring manager’s attention. 

In the worst-case scenario, your resume becomes a liability rather than an asset in your job search. In the best-case scenario, your future employer can’t wait to meet you because of your impressive resume!

Whether you are fresh out of college, a victim of downsizing, a stay-at-home parent re-entering the workforce, or a rising executive looking for that next promotion, you need a resume that sets you apart from other candidates vying for the same positions you are. At Top of the Stack Resume, we specialize in creating resumes for professionals at all career levels and in all industries, making sure your document is targeted to answer your next employer’s needs. 

To get started, use this form to send any existing versions of your resume: we will then schedule a phone consultation in order to discuss your career goals, your background, and your accomplishments.

Every resume package includes a comprehensive phone consultation, up to two revisions of your documents, an ATS-friendly version, as well as a customized cover letter. 

 

Market trends and employer surveys indicate that cover letters are more important than ever. Whether you email a cover letter or use a paper version, this is your opportunity to spotlight the alignment of your expertise and accomplishments with those of your future employer. 

Cover letters need to be short and to the point, while staying interesting and engaging; make sure to address the company’s needs and offer solutions to those needs. If you can impress your reader, show what you can do for the company, and tell a relevant story, then you will be successful in securing interviews. 

A custom cover letter is included with each resume.  

LinkedIn is a personal branding, professional networking, and lifelong career building tool that every job seeker absolutely must utilize. Used by 600 million people worldwide, it is a professional social media platform that is used by job seekers, employers, and recruiters. 

Written in the first person, a LinkedIn profile is NOT a copy of the resume. While using portions of the resume, I work with clients to tell a compelling story by creating an engaging profile that can be used to network for job opportunities and ensure a positive online presence.

LinkedIn profile content is delivered in Microsoft Word format, with each section clearly labeled and client instructions on how to easily upload into the profile. 

Most importantly, clients receive coaching on the best and most effective ways of harnessing the power of LinkedIn to propel a successful and targeted job search.

Full access to a recorded E-learning session, where I teach hands-on tools and knowledge for a successful job search. This includes training on optimizing social media presence in order to harness the power of LinkedIn, expand relevant network, improve effectiveness of online activity, and be found by recruiters. Step-by-step instructions on maximizing opportunities on LinkedIn, using the new Google Jobs feature, and tapping into the hidden job market. Includes handouts, screenshots, and a complete system to help job seekers land their next opportunity – because let’s face it, a good resume and LinkedIn profile are just the start of your job search!

 

 

 

 

Interviewing is not a pleasant experience; in fact, most people dread the interview process. You are judged, you are put on the spot in front of decision makers, and you face the very real possibility of rejection. Doesn’t sound appealing, does it? However, you must prepare for the interview if you want to stand out from the competition and receive that job offer.

Introducing an online course that prepares job seekers for job interviews:

The Ultimate Job Interview Preparation Course is a self-study, at-your-own-pace program that offers 4+ hours of quality video content: 27 lessons, over 20 worksheets and handouts, a comprehensive question library, and animations to enhance learning.

This package is designed to serve job seekers who are budget-conscious, yet still want to invest in the essential services to ensure a successful career transition.
