RESUME REVIEW

THE SERVICE:
With this service, we will review your resume to determine what updates could/should be made to market yourself. This review will not only entail content changes and recommendations but also cosmetic recommendations if applicable. We will then compare the resume to 1 job posting of your choice (should be the type of position you will likely pursue going forward) and tweak your resume to ensure those skills are coming out on the resume. We recommend you look at a couple of job positions to get a clear sense of what you really want to pursue (e.g. a specific industry, or domain). This will also alert you to any potential skill gaps you may have.

THE PROCESS:

Once payment is received, we will request your resume
We will need 5 business days (depending on the urgency sooner may be possible) to review the resume and provide feedback. Feedback will be a part of the resume itself, as comments, and in track changes.
We will then send you the resume with the feedback and a meeting link to schedule a 45-minute feedback session. This session is where we both address any questions we have on the resume, or you can ask any questions related to the feedback.
We will then take that feedback and make final updates to the resume, and send you the final copy.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

TYLER THAYER, US

Paula has assisted me with resume building skills, interviewing skills, public speaking skills and has enhanced my BA acumen. The way that she breaks down key concepts into digestible, easy to understand modules while focusing in on my my strengths and opportunities has done wonders for my career. I truly thank Paula for all the time and energy she invested into me and had faith in my ability to deliver results when I had doubts in myself. She never gave up on me, and I owe her everything. Thank you, Paula A Bell Consulting for your client focused, results driven strategic view."

ANONYMOUS, US

"I was looking for a business analyst position and wasn’t feeling confident in my abilities due to lack of relevant experience. Paula was the perfect career coach for me because I needed someone who is an experienced business analysis professional and can conduct mock interviews that are relevant to the positions I was applying to. Paula went above and beyond with my last minute request and her professional approach helped me to gain my confidence back. I believe she played an important role when I landed a Senior Business Analyst position at my dream company."

TOYIN E., UK

I was looking to move my career to the next level, I had been working with the same company for 5 years so I was a very rusty and my CV was slightly dated. Paula revamped my CV, prepared me for interviews and sharpened my interview skills. She did more than that, she gave me strategies I could use to ace any interview. Previously I would walk into interviews so nervous not knowing what to expect, which almost stopped me from applying for good roles. Paula worked with me on my weaknesses in interviews, the mock interviews were very beneficial and valuable plus you get a feedback after each interview. I now go into interviews with confidence and in control each time. This was a worthwhile investment for me. Paula Bell is now my Career Mentor.
