You suck at your résumé
Creating a great résumé that gets noticed is a powerful skill.
Unfortunately, you suck at it.
What's worse, even if you're the rare exception with mad résumé skills, chances are you'll still create something terrible because we're all bad at self-promotion.
Just pay someone to create your résumé
Really. Stop stalling on getting it done. Or worse yet, stop sending out that shitty résumé that looks bad and reads like a disaster movie.
There are professional résumé writers who are good at this. Not you.
It's worth it
A résumé created by a professional might cost you five-hundred bucks or more. And yet, the right résumé could get you a job that pays tens of thousands more.
$10,000 > $500
Yep, the math checks out.
Selling yourself is really, really, really, really hard
I've reviewed thousands of résumés in my career and most of them are straight-into-the-trash hot garbage. They're way too long, highlight tons of irrelevant crap, and don't make me excited to meet the candidate. Summarizing your own career in one pithy, well-designed, well-written page is fucking hard.
You can REALLY stand out
The good news? Because 99% of résumés are atrocious, a good résumé absolutely leaps off the pile. A great résumé doesn't just increase your chances of getting an interview by 5%—it increases your chances by like 500%.
You SHOULDN'T be good at this
Stop feeling like creating your résumé is something you should do yourself. You've built a lot of impressive skills over your career—the unique intersection of writing, design, branding, positioning, and self-promotion isn't one of them.
Just pay someone to do your résumé. It's not worth the struggle.
