Get that job with a great resume from Blue Sky Resumes


I have known people who have been unemployed and underemployed for longer than I can imagine.  And I often wondered what it was that kept them from securing their dream job.  I knew they had great credentials.  I knew they had great work ethic.  In fact, I knew many of their references.  For some of them I even was the reference.  So, I had to really consider what it was that kept holding them back.

Finally, I just broke down and asked one of the friends what was going on with the job search.  She told me that she was sending out resumes on a weekly basis.  I asked if she simply interviewed poorly.  And she admitted that it couldn’t be that.  She wasn’t even making it to the interview stage. 

So, then I had to ask to see her resume.  How could she be sending out that many and have no response? 

It was the resume.  My friend had serious skills, great experience to back it up, and excellent references.  She graduated at the top of her class, made the Dean’s list several semesters, was in a few academic honor societies and couldn’t craft a resume to save her life.  Somehow, she never learned to do that.

What kind of friend would I be if I left her to her own devices when I could remedy her problem so quickly and effortlessly?  A bad one.  And that is why I directed her to Blue Sky Resumes.  These people know their stuff.  They know how to make s good resume shine.  They know how to get people noticed.  And that is why I recommend them.

For me, it seemed like a no brainer.  Ah, but my friend was living on a budget, based on her almost non-existent income.  At that moment, I had to point out to her that if she really had to wonder if she could afford to have a resume made then she really couldn’t afford not to have Blue Sky Resumes work with her.  Finally, my sound reasoning broke her down.  She called me a few weeks later, raving about her experience. 

Even better, with the help of Blue Sky Resumes, she had to make a choice between three different jobs.  I had already seen it coming.  After all, each of those companies called me to verify her reference.  And I was able to tell them how hard working and resourceful she was, that she refused to admit defeat, and that she was an amazing problem solver.  It was all true.  With Blue Sky Resumes she didn’t have to face the challenge of the job search any more.
