Unfortunately, when we look for a job, we are reduced to how we look on paper. Yet, 95 percent of all resumes are inadequate. They are average in appearance, disclose too many liabilities, are uninteresting, and are rarely about the benefits people can bring a new employer.

      Since the early 1990s, the growth in the use of PCs, fax machines, the Internet and e- mail has resulted in firms receiving 20 to 50 times more resumes than in the past. Staffing Industry sources have indicated that 30,000,000 resumes are being circulated in the U.S. As a result, many employers and recruiters have embraced resume-scanning software and shifted to new ways of selection.

      In this environment, our management, as a result of tracking thousands of client searches, has developed a more effective approach, one which utilizes several types of resumes, all carefully targeted for different applications. This has afforded our clients a significant edge.
