| I've never
written my own resume before. Will I be able to do it
on my own with EasyJob? |
| Writing a relevant, credible, effective
and professional resume is not difficult, when
you have access to a professional resume writing and
creation system, before, during, and
after the process of creating your resume and
cover letter.
Imagine having access to a highly experienced professional
resume writer who will work with
YOU as many hours as you want and
need, and for one affordable payment.
EasyJob is like having
a resume writing guru at your
beck and call, 24 hours a day 7 days a week! |
| What makes it possible
for EasyJob to create resumes
that will fit my particular job-search situation? |
| EasyJob
is not a standardized program that "spits out"
identical resumes.
EasyJob creates
a resume ONLY after receiving all your specific,
individual information.
In a step-by-step process, EasyJob
gathers all the information necessary
to create your resumes. Then,
it offers you suggestions on how to emphasize your strengths
and minimize your weaknesses and provides effective
copy you can use as-is or adapt to your exact needs.
You, together with guidance from EasyJob,
will create powerful content that succinctly
and clearly describes all your work experience and achievements
in an impressive way, while omitting statements that
could damage your professional image.
There's no limit to the words we
can create with just 26 letters in the alphabet. And
there's no limit to the individualized, targeted resumes
you can create with the hundreds of headings, sentences,
and other sample content provided by EasyJob! |
| What can EasyJob
do for me that a good resume-writing service can't do? |
| There are many resume writing services
available to you, from downloadable shareware programs
to secretarial-type services and employment counseling
agencies.
BUT
Downloading shareware is not the same thing
as analyzing your current
situation and goals and THEN putting together
a resume that is UNIQUE TO YOU.
Thousands of job seekers download the same
resume-writing programs and generate resumes and cover
letters that employers mistrust because
they all look exactly alike.
EasyJob doesn't generate
resumes; it creates them. With EasyJob,
your resume never appears mass-produced,
because with EasyJob's
custom resume-creation
process, it's IMPOSSIBLE to mass-produce
a resume!
A secretarial-type service makes your resume look
good and (usually) error-free, but a clean, attractive
resume is not enough to secure
an interview.
You need a targeted resume
for the job you want.
In fact, you may need three or four different resumes,
each targeted to a different employer with different
needs and positions to fill.
The time you spent completing
your education and your years of hard
work are wasted if you send a resume
that is not tailored to you AND targeted
to the job you want.
Even if your qualifications are not the greatest, a
well-targeted resume greatly improves
your chances of securing an interview. Targeting
is part of resume design, and it's not
something secretarial or editorial-type resume services
are usually equipped to do for you.
EasyJob creates as many
targeted resumes and cover letters as you need.
An employment-counseling agency usually takes
your money before
they make you money.
Certainly, it's fair to pay for a service, but many
job seekers are not in a position to spend money before
they make money. Often, the fees set by these agencies
are substantial, and many firms do
not guarantee the success of your job search. Often,
the risks outweigh the results.
EasyJob, analyzes your
input and individual circumstances in much the same
way an employment counselor would, and advises
you on the best way to present yourself through
your resume and cover letter-for one low cost.
In fact, EasyJob gives
you everything all these services offer, and more, for
a low, one-time cost!
|
| Will EasyJob
save me money? |
| YES.
A good resume-writing service usually costs
from $200- $600 or more. Employment counseling agencies,
which normally provide a resume-writing service in addition
to some contact information, often charge from $600
to $1500 or more. Most firms charge 11 cents per name
for employer contact information.
Yet, for a one-time fee of just $49.95,
EasyJob provides you: a
professional resume-writing guide; a system for choosing
the content and wording for each resume and cover letter,
an unlimited number of resumes and
cover letters; more than 25,000 resume and
cover letter design templates for your
Presentation Package; and a database of 11,000 US
employers.

| Just how much money
can EasyJob save? |
| If you purchased all these
services separately, you would spend from $1800 to $4,000
or more. EasyJob not only
saves you money, but it also saves
you the time it takes to find
and contract these services.
EasyJob brings the employment
counselor and professional resume-writer
"home" to work with you
forever.
You'll never need to pay for new resume
versions, updates, employer profiles, or any other feature
that other services frequently charge for. In fact,
the more you use EasyJob,
the less it costs!
|
| Isn't it just as easy
and effective to buy a book on resume writing and/or job
hunting? |
| The question is: Which
one should you buy? One 10-minute search on the Internet,
using just one search engine and one online bookstore,
results in more than 85,000 listings!
The number of books, applications and web sites on
subjects related to job-seeking strategies and resume
writing is so vast that a person who starts reading
on January 1 will come to December 31 having read only
30 percent of all published materials-IF he or she reads
every single day, 24 hours a day!
The creators of EasyJob
have already done tremendous legwork for YOU,
conducting exhaustive bibliographic
searches, reading books, examining software, researching
the WWW, and taking the best information from all these
documents, and putting it into an easy-to-use format
for you.
Why buy one book---or 100 -when EasyJob
already gives you access to the most relevant information
from hundreds of sources?
|
| I've written many resumes
and sent them out to lots of employers without getting
the response I wanted. Can EasyJob
help me break this cycle? |
| Definitely! One very important
key to breaking this cycle is in finding
the job-search strategy that works best for
you.
EasyJob offers you two
distinct strategies for finding the job that's right
for you.
EasyJob Strategy #1:
Look for Job Postings.
Thousands of jobs are posted publicly
nationwide on a weekly basis. These posted jobs make
up the VISIBLE part of the job market-but they
by no means represent the total job
market. According to some estimates, these visible jobs
make up only 20% of the total
job market. Many good jobs
are never posted in public media, which is why EasyJob
offers you a second strategy for job-hunting.
EasyJob Strategy #2:
Discover the Hidden Job Offers.
The second strategy is to stimulate
job offers by offering your experience, talent,
and skills to a prospective employer. With this strategy,
you hit a big share of the
hidden job market, which can be stimulated by your willingness
to participate.
EasyJob's features help
you use both strategies effectively and, above
all, makes the second strategy feasible
for you, with contact information for 11,000
US employers for you to "stimulate."

| How does EasyJob
get the resume-writing job done? |
| EasyJob
Creates the right resume according
to your personal situation.
After you have defined your individual, professional
situation (a young person without work experience, a
person aged 50+, etc.), EasyJob
prepares an attention-getting resume
that will motivate employers to learn more about you
through telephone or in-person interviews.
"Introduce" yourself to EasyJob,
telling it who you are, what level of education and
work experience you have, and other details the program
will ask you for. Unlike other resume-writing programs,
which ask the same questions every time you prepare
a resume, EasyJob does
this only once.
Your answers create a comprehensive,
individualized database from which you select
the most relevant data for each resume, according to
the principle of "the right resume for the right
employer at the right time." With this database
(which you can always update and change in the future),
EasyJob serves as a guide
that helps you manage your job search and improve your
professional image indefinitely.
Since the majority of job seekers write weak resume
content, when you use EasyJob
you will stand out and look
more qualified than your competitors, because: EasyJob
actively assists you in making
the input to your individual database, as well as in
selecting the appropriate output for your resumes.
|
| What is "high-speed
resume scanning?" |
| Because human resource departments
receive hundreds and even thousands
of resumes for just a few positions, they frequently
rely on fast "resume-scanning" to efficiently
eliminate candidates whose
qualifications don't match the job requirements, and
to save for consideration those resumes which present
matching qualifications.
If your resume is not designed to survive
the high-speed scanning process, then your
chances of being considered for a job
in a large company decrease substantially.
EasyJob's "special
section" feature is designed to make your resume
stand out in scans of hundreds of resumes and to immediately
catch a recruiter's or employer's attention. |
| Should I use the service
of a headhunter or an executive search firm? |
| It depends on your individual situation.
If you are over 40 and have highly specialized
job experience, a headhunter may be
able to help you find the right position.
However, it's important to consider the following possible
drawbacks:
- A headhunter cannot afford to devote his/her
attention to just one client.
- Headhunters are often commission-paid and under
pressure to meet hiring quotas for the recruitment
companies they work for. This need for speed
can be a disadvantage to job-seekers
and can make you feel pressured into accepting a position
that's not exactly right
for YOU.
- Also, many headhunting firms take a percentage
of the new hire's salary for an extended
period of time to "pay" for their service.
BEFORE you make
up your mind, it's much safer to spend
just $49.95, prepare a Presentation Package
that is exactly right for YOU
and investigate the job market on your own, using EasyJob
as your personal assistant.
Later on, if you
decide to employ an executive search firm or headhunter,
you'll be especially well prepared.

| How much time does
it take to create a winning resume? |
| The answer to this question naturally
varies with each person, their job experience, and their
particular circumstances.
EasyJob makes the most
efficient use of your resume writing
time, which involves these key activities on the part
of the job seeker:
- Remembering and defining your
job experience, skills, accomplishments, and talents.
- Organizing this information and
your individual data within EasyJob.
- Creating a first draft of your resume and
cover letter, then letting it "sit" for
1 to 3 days.
- Refining and editing the
first draft so that you can create an excellent
final version of your Presentation Package.
Efficiency is more important than pure speed. Give
yourself the time you need to be sure your
resume is complete, but don't procrastinate,
either.
Once you are comfortable with your resume and cover
letter, and have proofed them well, send
them on!

EasyJob has the right
resume for YOU!
| No matter what your job-search
situation is, EasyJob
will create resumes and cover letters tailored to
you and targeted to the employer! |
|
| I already have my
resume in my word processor and all I need is a program
to do cover letters. Can EasyJob just create a cover letter? |
| YES!
But...
We recommend that you input your Career
Information before creating any cover letter, so
EasyJob can create the
unique, effective resumes it was designed to create
for you.
It takes very little time,
thanks to EasyJob's Guru
help-system. And, we're 99.9% sure that creating
your resume with EasyJob
will give you both a better resume
and a better cover letter
than you've ever had before. And that means, a much
better chance of landing job interviews!
Just enter your Career
Information one time! From your input, EasyJob
will create an unlimited number of different, targeted
resumes -- something no word processor can ever do,
and something a resume service would charge you for
every time you modify your resume.
In the long run, you'll save both time and money and
improve your chances of being hired quickly when you
create a resume first with EasyJob
and then create the cover letter.
If you just can't wait, however, and want to create
an EasyJob cover letter
without creating your EasyJob
resume, here's how:
Start the Career Information Wizard.
Go to Step 2. Enter your contact information and your
Job Search Situation (The Wizard will guide you).
Exit the Wizard and create a new Presentation
Package. You'll have a cover letter and an empty
resume.
For a more professional cover letter, also enter the
following data into the Career Information Wizard:
- Your degree, if you have one.
- Skill Headings of your Work Experience (if you have
any).
This important information can boost your chances
of getting an interview.
(See the Wizard's help for more information.)
- Your language skills and computer skills.
