Manager Tools Resume Review Service

We have created our resume service to help you create an effective resume. We see HUNDREDS of resumes a month, and we are regularly disappointed that the document does a poor job of capturing the successes and capabilities of qualified managers and professionals. We don't want that to happen to you.

Price: $100 US - That's a LOT less than other places, but we want everyone to be able to afford our work. We know there are services that will re-write your resume for $700, but that is silly to us. We've provided in our podcasts the way we know the vast majority of recruiters and managers want resumes: one page, reverse chronological, responsibilities and accomplishments. You don't need us to re-write yours for you. Just follow our guidance, and we'll help you ensure it's excellent with our review. You can find our original podcast with all the instructions on the Your Resume Stinks! podcast.

Timing: You'll get your review back within 6 business days (the day you submit it is day zero). Based on our analysis, that's fast.

What You Get: A detailed analysis of your resume against our recommended format. Here are the factors we look at. These are the guidelines we use for every resume, taken right from the PDF document you'll get after our review.

What Do We Look For?

Format: What we look for - Resume prints from MS Word onto one page easily. The format includes contact details at the top followed by an employment history title (consisting of dates held, job title, company) , a prose paragraph describing your responsibilities and a bulleted list of accomplishments. We do not recommend a summary paragraph. Reverse chronological format. Education last. There is no need for lines, borders or other formatting apart from the job titles and simple dots for the bullets. Good use of page space: we look for extraneous words and ensure each line of text is fully used. We may recommend margin changes, depending on the length of your resume. Our recommendation is for a serif typeface such as New York Times or Bookman, although in some cases a Century font can be appropriate.

Contact Details: What we look for - Name, home address, non-work contact numbers, and professional email address. Name should be on its own line, in bold and centered. Address, contact numbers and email address on the next line. If you include your website address, we check it for relevance to the role you're carrying out, and the impression it leaves. For the majority of managers, we do not recommend including a website address.

Employment History: What we look for - Month and year included, in bold and underlined flush with the left margin. Job titles which are meaningful to your industry.

Responsibilities: What we look for - A summary of the impact of your role to the organization. An accurate description of your job title. We recommend every sentence starts with an action verb such as created, managed or completed. This paragraph should closely resemble your job description and would be true of anyone who carried out this role. Include comments to allow the recruiter to understand your role relative to others such as the scope of responsibilities, management of others, size of the organization supported, input or responsibility for budgets, training, income and/or cost reduction. Review your responsibilities carefully to make sure they are not achievements. Attempting to find previous performance reviews and job descriptions can make this easier.

Accomplishments: What we look for - Each role should have 3-6 bullets, with more for increasing responsibility or relevance to the role sought. They should be personal accomplishments, on one line with metrics, in the format: Action verb, result achieved, method used. Most relevant to the role sought first. A range of accomplishments.

Education: What we look for - Your degree in the format: Degree title, university, graduating year. For non-university education - relevance to role sought. We recommend any formal completed or close to completed college education is included.

Spelling, grammar, punctuation: What we look for - perfection. No mistakes. Clarity of meaning.

Career History: What we look for - your career history tells a story, for example of increasing responsibility, or similar roles in different industries. We can understand from your resume why you applied for this role and why you moved between companies previously. You cannot change your history to hide disconnects, but creating your resume can highlight them and allow you to prepare to answer questions about them in interviews.
