Why Hire Careers by Choice as Your Resume Writer?

Additional Benefits Beyond Just Resume Writing.

My status as a Career Counselor (master’s degree in this field) is unique among resume writers. It qualifies me to offer additional expertise beyond resume writing. If you are a bit unsure about your next career move and want a professional opinion about the direction you’re headed, who better to work with than a Certified Resume Writer who also is a Career Counselor?

I do all the work, no freelance writers or subcontractors!   BEWARE! Medium-sized and large companies have moved into the resume writing industry and have created a business model based on high volume to maximize profits. In those businesses, you typically will speak to the owner, who closes the sale with you, but then get passed off to someone else who writes your project. These writers answer to the business owners and are incentivized and evaluated by how quickly they finish projects. My model is as far from that as possible. When you hire Careers by Choice, you get me, the owner, working one-on-one with you. I have no employees and use no subcontractors. No one else is going to work on your project. Furthermore, my information gathering is done verbally. I don’t send worksheets and forms. Speak to me…tell me your work history, your employment goals, your concerns, your dreams…I’m listening!

I Guarantee Your Satisfaction.  As standard procedure, all clients receive a proof copy of their resume and an opportunity to request revisions if desired.

The Strategy

I write completely original resumes for my clients. My commitment to originality means that your document is not going to look like it’s been created by template software, nor will it have any of the tired, overused phrases typically found in mediocre resumes. The resume I write for you will be filled with accomplishment statements and keywords to get you noticed. As electronic scanning of resumes has become commonplace, and resumes are often “read” by ATS software instead of humans as a first screening, I use significant strategies to give you an advantage in the screening process. In addition to thoughtfully selecting and incorporating the best keywords, I also format knowing what design elements are ATS software friendly and which are not. This has become a significant issue in the resume-writing community, with some writers inadvertently overdoing the design elements, creating documents that are rejected by ATS software, and ironically hurting their clients’ chances.

Samples of my resumes have been published in eleven resume writing books. A list of those may be viewed on the about page of this site. Furthermore, during the 20+ years I have worked full-time in this profession, I have written resumes for virtually every type of occupation ( view list of occupations ). However, more importantly than the number of clients I work with and the volume of resumes I write, are the results my clients get. Using the resumes I crafted for them, my clients have secured dream jobs with premier companies and organizations.

Fees (Your Investment)

There is a broad range of prices since I write resumes across all occupations and levels of responsibility (entry-level to senior executives). P rices for complete resume development start at $395 and rise incrementally. Cover letters are priced separately. I also write LinkedIn profiles for the majority of my clients. Fees for LinkedIn profile writing are custom quoted at the time other items are quoted.   

My fees for resume writing are reflective of my level of expertise, the significant credentials I have to do this work, and the personalized service I give my clients. I regularly evaluate my fee structure to ensure that I am market competitive with a subset of other resume writers who are similarly experienced and have a reputation for producing very high-quality work.  

Since each resume writing project is unique, prices are quoted, in advance, on an individual basis. The kind of position you seek and the amount of work experience you have (number of years, number of job titles, and number of employers) correlate with the complexity of the project. Those parameters guide me in the price quote.

Free Consultation

I offer FREE consultations via phone call and videoconference. These are no-pressure discussions where I will evaluate your career situation and resume needs. If you have an existing resume, please send it to me in advance, even if it is ancient, incomplete, or otherwise inadequate. It is an efficient way for me to appreciate some of your work history. Alternatively, or in addition, send a link to your LinkedIn profile. If you do not have an existing resume or LinkedIn profile, please provide information about (a) the type of job you are looking for and (b) a list of your job titles with dates of employment and names of employers. Please use the subject line, “SEEKING CONSULTATION” and reach out to me at [email protected] . Alternatively, fill out the form on this page.

After I receive your message, I will reply quickly and suggest times for your free consultation.

Resume Samples

I am happy to show prospective clients sample resumes. To make this as helpful as possible, I will show samples that are relevant to your situation/background . For this reason, I do not include a smattering of resume samples on my website. If you are a Director of Finance, it’s not going to help you to see a resume I wrote for a Marketing Manager.  I will show you a sample resume that is pertinent to your work history. This is part of a free, no-obligation consultation. 

Cover Letters

In most situations, it is appropriate to include a cover letter and it is often expected by employers even if a job posting does not specifically mention it. The cover letter is an additional opportunity to provide pertinent information, show your individuality, display effective communication skills, and distinguish yourself from the rest of the candidate pool. It gives you the ability to get more personal with the reader and as such, is the closest you can get to building rapport without actually meeting in person.

Persuasive and sophisticated cover letters are every bit as challenging to write as resumes. The one I write for you will quickly command attention because it will not be filled with the ordinary, tired clichés that are typically used by inexperienced writers. Your letter will impress because of its uniqueness, clear message, and excellent choice of language. Cover letter pricing begins at $195. More complex letters, such as those needed by management-level candidates, executives, career changers, or others with unique circumstances, are slightly more. As with the resume service, I am happy to quote prices in advance. Call me, email me, or visit the contact page where you can send me a note and upload documents.

A Little History…

I built my practice in a professional building in Huntington, Long Island, and met clients in person there for 20 years. In 2020, the pandemic caused me to rethink in-person meetings, and I made the decision to work exclusively from my home office in Centerport. I now conduct appointments with clients through videoconferencing and phone calls with the same attentiveness, quality, and professionalism I am known for.

RESUME, COVER LETTER & PERSONAL STATEMENT WRITING ON LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK

Consult with Professor Peterson to make your resume and professional writing stand out. A-1 Resumes in Oyster Bay, New York, offers resume, cover letter, and personal statement writing services.

PROFESSIONAL RESUMES

Most individuals in today's workplace require a well-written, concise, and attractive 1-page resume that will make the cut. The average length of time spent initially evaluating a submitted resume is approximately 10 seconds. In a pile of 100 to 500 other resumes, yours will be set aside if it is:

• Unattractive
• Filled with Grammatical or Spelling Errors
• Lacking a Clear-Cut Goal or Objective

EXECUTIVE RESUMES

When you are applying for senior management, academic positions, or some professions, a one-page resume will not get you either the job or the salary you desire. Generally, jobs with annual salaries of $80,000.00 to $100,000.00 require resumes of two pages. Others who need two pages are CEOs, CFOs, comptrollers, college professors, scientists, anyone with a Ph.D., and artists with numerous credits.

COVER LETTERS

Whether you are searching for a job in person or on the internet, your cover letter is an important document. Professor Peterson writes cover letters of 4 to 5 paragraphs that are either geared toward a specific career goal or phrased in general terms to keep the client's options open. In other cases, you might need to change only the first sentence to customize the letter for the job. When someone is seeking two different types of jobs, two cover letters may be needed. In that case, the second letter is half-price.

PERSONAL STATEMENTS

Professor Peterson has assisted people with writing personal statements for graduate and professional schools for more than 20 years. Her experience as a college professor gives you the edge. She knows what the executives at these schools want to hear, or more importantly, what they DON'T want to hear.

The consultation for personal statements includes an initial planning session based on Professor Peterson's own Instruction Guide for Personal Statements. This includes an outline specifying the order of topics, the content of the paragraphs, and the conclusion.

After you complete a rough draft, Professor Peterson edits and corrects your writing to ensure good grammar and proper length (usually 500 words). Your resume is usually encouraged as a part of this project, at a reduced rate.

BIOGRAPHIES

With business networking as a crucial component of a job search, biographies are increasingly important in today's world. Professor Peterson writes concise biographies which are narrative summaries of your resume. In clear and concise words, your biography can capture your entire career using highlights to emphasize your achievements. Biographies range from $200 to $500.

The Career Island

You're just a resume away from a different kind of lifestyle

About The Career Island

My name is Andrea Logan and I am a Professional Resume Writer and Career Coach that specializes in helping clients all over the world secure 6-figure  remote work transitions .

I created the Career Island to teach the culture how to attract positions that completely change the trajectory of their lives by getting them out of poverty, debt free, and financially stable.

The water tastes better when people are valued and actually enjoy the work they do that allows them to fully provide for themselves and their loved ones.

Come break your generational curses on the island!

"It's not you, it's your resume."

Our Mission

Decrease the unemployment rate .

The reason people cannot get hired is because they do not know how to sell their skills.

I am a wayshower. I utilize my own journey as a inspirational light for others to see and learn about the limitlessness of life opportunities so that they may arrive to their own unique path. I inspire people to elicit change of their current circumstance through career development as I teach people all over the world " The Business of Getting Hired ." Join me as I revolutionize the Resume Writing and Hiring Industry.

I unknowingly started a fully functional virtual career services business at the beginning of the Corona Virus Pandemic to help the culture learn how to transition to the Virtual Age (get a remote job) and stay safe while still employed. So many people were losing their jobs while I had many to choose from. I was trained to be a Professional Resume Writer and Career Coach years before the lockdowns started in March 2020, but I was not providing any of those services to anyone. I would just talk about it because everybody that knew me already knew that I used to do career services. I was not utilizing ANY of my crafts when the virus broke out.

During the beginning of the pandemic, I was working as a teacher. Once the virus started to spread to my facility however, I decided to leave my full-time job as a daycare teacher because the school districts decided to not shut down. I quickly told my employers that I received the Corona ( A LIE ) and was that my "doctor" told me to go into an immediate 3-week quarantine. I was buying myself time so that I could find a new job completely from home.

Through my seasoned efforts and knowledge of how to get jobs, I got a LOT of offers at an almost alarming rate. I spent all Sunday night one weekend applying my own tips to my job hunt strategy for remote roles only and I woke up the next Monday morning with an email full of job offers. In these moments of success from betting on myself, I got the feeling that I was being led and that instead of just trying to get a new job for myself to make ends meet, I should try and help other people get hired.

With only my best friend Mataia's encouragement and support, I started showing my process to the people on Twitter and Instagram. I posted my tips and the success messages I would get from Recruiters and Hiring Manager, even the offer letters I would get. I documented everything from day 1 and like fire , job seekers came rushing at me from all over the world. I had to throw together the initial phases of getting a legitimate business off the ground. In September 2020, Mataia told me that I should start making TikTok videos with my resume tips to help get the word out there about my services and teach job seekers all over the world about the inside secrets of how to navigate and excel in The Business of Getting Hired . And let me tell you... THE BUSINESS HASN'T STOPPED BOOMING SINCE!

" You're just a resume away from a different kind of lifestyle! "
