Frequently Asked Questions
|
|
|
I hate my job - but I am over 40 - is there any way I can get a better job now?
|
Many of our clients find themselves at a career threshold. They discover that having fun at work, being valued and appreciated is more
important that the monthly salary, pension, upward mobility etc. I have never been able to understand why people stay at a job that
they hate with the only possible reason being fear of the unknown.
Why not come and talk to us. You will be surprised how many of our clients have successfully done what you are contemplating and changed
their lives for the better. Most of them wish that they had "done this years ago".

I can download a template and create my own resume. Why should I employ a resume writer?
|
|
The key point is not to employ just any resume writer! Anyone with a computer can download a template
and create words on a page. What differentiates an everyday resume writer from a professional
employment consultant such as The Resume Hut, is the experience, the professionalism and the background of the consultant.
This, combined with our process which highlights the right aspects of your uniqueness to your potential employer is what brings results.
We know what employers are looking for and how to present you properly. We know the things that will
discourage potential employers, and we know the way to get you that all-important interview. It’s your
future, you should give yourself the very best chance to succeed. We get results.
Just think - How will your resume look next to one that has been professionally prepared?

My resume doesn’t work - Am I unemployable? Is there something wrong with my resume?
|
|
Unfortunately, not all resumes are ‘Resumes that work’. Call us for a no charge consultation - we’ll
look over your resume and advise you what can be done to increase the effectiveness of it and your
efforts.

After 20 years in the military, I am ready to find a good civilian job, but I’m not sure what jobs are a good fit or how to
explain my military history in a way which civilians understand.
|
|
|
We have been doing military transition work for years and know just how to package you to succeed.
And it doesn’t hurt that one of our partners was a Personnel Admin Officer (Sergeant) with 20 years of
service! Combine that with the fact that we are part of the military discount program and you can see
why so many of our veterans come to us for expert career help.

|
|
I have been applying for public service jobs for quite some time now with no results.
I don’t understand - my resume is good - why can’t I get an interview?
|
|
The public service has some specific application processes that may cause a ‘private sector’ resume to
be ineffective. Come and see us - bring your resume along and we can talk about the process and what we
can do to get you 'in the door'.

I am a Lawyer - my experience should get me an interview but
it seems to be more difficult than I thought. What can I do?
|
|
You would be surprised how often we look at professional resumes ( Doctor, Lawyer, Engineer, Accountant )
and find many that speak clearly about education and work history but completely miss the target when it
comes to marketing the strengths of the individual. If your current resume (or CV) needs to be strong in a
competitive environment, or you need your first resume, then we should talk. We will show you comparative
resumes and you will be able to see instantly what we can do to polish and add value to the way your resume
presents you.

|
I’ve heard that updating or annual storage fees are charged. Is that true?
|
|
I can’t speak for others, but at The Resume Hut, we do not charge annual fees or storage fees
of any kind. Updating fees depend on the extent of the work involved but philosophically,
we keep our updating fees very low (often at no cost) to encourage clients to keep their documents
current and effective.
|
|
|
If I contract a resume writing service, won’t I lose control over my resume?
