From the desk of Jay Edward Miller:

I've been interviewing clients, writing resumes, and teaching resume writing for more than 19 years. I've had mostly successes with a few failures sprinkled in. And if you are looking for a typical resume writer, I am probably not the one you want.

Why? Here are a few of the reasons:

 I don't religiously obey any so-called absolute "rules" or "ten commandments" of resume writing.

 I don't judge my success by my credentials, certifications, or how I am looked at by my peers, but solely on the success of my clients.

 I don't buy into the "expert" or "guru" mentality. I have MAJOR issues with more than 90% of the advice and tips on resume writing you get from online and offline sources.

 I don't offer "free evaluations" as a marketing ploy. If you expect a genuine evaluation from these offers, you will be disappointed.

 I don't settle for generic, non-descript resumes by giving out a bunch of worn out samples to copy, cookie-cutter templates to follow or fill-in-the-blanks software contraptions.

Yea, sometimes my approach seems a little out of the mainstream but, as long as my clients are getting interviews, I have no problem with that.

I get top dollar for writing resumes and I enjoy my work. But I found out that it was a lot more fun to teach people how to write their own resume. I liked the interaction of a classroom more than sitting in front of a computer screen. It was while teaching resume writing to others, that I learned the real "secrets" of resume writing.

We have all seen books, tips and advice claiming to know the "secrets" to writing a resume that gets interviews. You may have also noticed that most of these so-called "secrets" are not secret at all. For example: While online, I just saw a "secret" that said to "start each sentence with an action verb". Whooopeeedooo! Some secret. Every resume book ever written told you that one.

But in fact, there are some important things, genuine secrets, about resumes that most job hunters don't know. Things that you seldom find in resume books and job search websites. For example:

Resume Secret #1: Writing skills are not the most important skills in creating a great resume. Ask any marketing professional and they will tell you that there are many things more important than writing skills in creating good print advertising. It is the same with your resume.

Resume Secret #2: Most people can easily write their own quality, first-rate, updateable. resume. Not only that, they can do it quickly. I did not learn this "secret" from my years writing resumes; I learned it from my years TEACHING people how to write resumes. And I am not talking about some fill-in-the-blanks joke of a template resume, or some resume software contraption or copying some generic resume samples. This is the real deal. A resume that advances your career; a resume that gets you the  interviews you are after; a resume you are proud of. Resumes better than what professional resumes writers could produce for you. Once you learn some basic principles, writing your own resume is surprisingly easy. 

Resume Secret #3: Most of the resume advice out there is just plain wrong. This may sound arrogant on my part; that is one of the main reasons why I give away a portion of my book (see below). I spend almost twelve pages discussing how and why there is so much wrong-headed information out there. It is in the chapter titled "Basic Things You Need To Know". Even if you never buy the book, I challenge you to read this.

Resume Secret #4: Resume grammar has a self-correcting quality to it. It is simpler and easier than conventional English grammar. Go through the four steps outlined in the book and your resume will read and sound as good or better and more business-like than any expensive resume you purchase from a professional service.

Resume Secret #5: This is the dirty little secret no one talks about -- updating. Nearly everyone, including myself, tells you that to conduct a first-rate, professional job search, your resume needs to be updated and tailored for every employer you contact. But the professional resume writing services don't usually tell you what a HUGE, expensive, frustrating pain the neck it is (I have found that some do not even offer updating). After you have your resume written, you need to give your writer the information you have gathered on the 30 employers you want to apply to. The writer will then edit the 30 versions of your resume. You will need to proofread and approve the 30 versions. And, of course, you will pay the writer a fee for his or her time, effort, printing and more. Besides the logistical nightmare, the costs can easily exceed the original price of the resume. This is a compelling argument for creating, and updating, your resume yourself.

Resume Secret #6: If you use the right techniques, the employer will pretty much tell you what to say in your resume. This one is a shocker to some people, but it is absolutely true. I am going to stop revealing "secrets" for now before I give away too much information.

Irresistible Resume

A resume creator's  guide. 
A job searcher's approach to marketing. 
All designed so that employers with a need will respond. 

You may be thinking that this is just another book on "how to write a resume". After all, large chain booksellers have whole sections devoted to the topic. Well, let me be clear:

It's NOT just another "how-to" book.

When I first came up with Irresistible Resume, it was my class handout. I began putting it together because I had read just about everything out there and found nothing that matched the techniques that I used and wanted to teach. That's when I sat down and began to write my own resume creation guidelines based on the success of my clients.

Every idea in this book has been used and tested. It is not mere theory, it, in fact, works, and it works consistently. Perhaps I have convinced you to write your own resume, or maybe I haven't. But if I have, you need to have your ducks lined up in a row or it is not going to click. That is the power of Irresistible Resume.

It is written in a very straightforward manner. You are not going to find any hype or fluff. It isn't fuzzy and the only motivational aspect is the satisfaction of energizing your job search. In test after test, nearly everyone finished book and were starting on their resume in one evening. Many said they started on the resume while still reading the book.

You will see:

  Why most resumes fail. There are several reasons, but mostly because your resume is not standing out. I spend a lot of time on this because most people are not honest with themselves.

  The "what's in it for me technique" for cutting through the dry list of features and getting to the good stuff -- the benefits.

  How to put together the most difficult part of the resume. The part that will make or  break a resume, the opening lines.

  Why there are things you must do before you write a single line.

  Why the interview is almost always yours to lose.

  Exactly what to do to turn your resume into an interview grabbing machine.

  Why writing skills are not the most important factor. Using resume grammar, you will express yourself without fluff and come across as well as any professional.

  How your resume will stand out from all the others out there. When you are on top of the pile, it doesn't matter how high the pile is.

The time you waste with traditional "how-to" resume books, worthless tips, generic samples, dumb software and templates, will cost in lost interviews and job offers.

I am in the job search business. I know the hard work involved in trying to move up the ladder -- or even trying to stay on the ladder. Corporate trash cans are filled with resumes from people who thought they following the latest advice or hired a good-intentioned writer that thought they knew his or her stuff. So before you start thinking that $37 dollars is too much to spend on my time tested resume creation techniques, think about the cost of sitting out in the cold waiting for interviews that are never going to come.

Recently I held closed door classes for an outplacement company in Chicago. They paid a lot of money for twelve people to attend. They listened and watched as I revealed everything I know about Resume Writing and Job Search Techniques I have used over the past 19 years. It was my life's work condensed into one powerful class.

Once it was over I wanted to see the results of some people who did not attend the class, but only had access to manual. I wanted to see if they could experience the same results just using the manual I gave the twelve people in the class.

I published the manual and gave it out to my clients, job seekers who were looking for help. I wanted to see what kind of resume they would write; what kind of success they would have. My only requirement is these people represent a wide range of work backgrounds, from newbie to executive.

The positive feedback poured in within days.

"I Thought This Would Be Just 'Another' How-to Resume Writing Class..." "I thought that this would be just another how-to resume writing class. Was I ever wrong. Just after reading the introduction I already wanted to stop and start writing my Resume. If you are using a Resume, you have to read this material. -- Bev Olander -- Evanston, Illinois

"Got a new job and Doubled My Salary" "I like to work fast, so I only spent a couple hours reading the manual and another hour writing the Resume. I got the job and doubled my salary with about 3 hours of effort. I feel like I am just getting started and will do even better as I put more time into it." -- Michael Stonehouse -- Chicago, Illinois

"I'm Even Getting Referred To Other Companies By Interviewers!" Since attending the class I used the Resume writing methods to rewrite my Resume. I increased the interviews I was getting the first day. Companies are so impressed that they want to hire me even if they don't have a need! I'm even getting referred to other companies by interviewers! This is amazing. -- Marian Leoni, River Oaks, Illinois

"Using Just One Idea... I've Doubled My Response Rate" "I was in such a bind, I only had time to change the top few lines of the first page on my Resume using Resume Writing techniques I learned. And I doubled the interviews I was getting  . Now this is just one  tip. Imagine what will happen when I put everything into practice!" -- Barry Langsam, Rockford, Illinois

"I Did A "Re-Blast" Of My Resume... My Results Tripled" It had to be the Resume, nothing else explains it. Before I went to the class, I hired a company to email blast my Resume to a bunch of companies, about a thousand, and got five interviews. This is about what I was told to expect. After the class, I totally rewrote my Resume. The blasting service allowed a second mailing for no extra charge, so I did a re-blast of my Resume and my results tripled. And the interviews came from companies that had already received my first Resume. It works. -- James Carter, Grand Rapids, Michigan

"A Step-By-Step 'How To And Why' Guide To Creating a Powerful Resume" "I've gotta say I have been utterly clueless when it comes to writing my Resume. I've done it myself, but up until now it has always been hit and miss. I tried to follow some books, but I was never happy with the results. The Irresistible Resume classes changed all that for me. It gave me a step-by-step "how to and why" guide to creating a powerful Resume. I was blown away by the depth of the instructions and manner in which it is presented. I am now confident that when a company has a need they will call me  . -- David Henry Aaron, Belmont, Michigan

"The results are staggering" "The Irresistible Resume manual is forcing me (in a nice way) to revalue everything I have done up to now. The results are staggering. I can hardly believe it. I am spending the next few days writing two more resumes." -- Chet Reese, Denver, Colorado
