“Ah! the clock is always slow;
It is later than you think.”
–Robert Service, Ballads of a Bohemian (1921)

Why a Professional Résumé?

Your résumé is your personal marketing piece and will represent you in your absence. In today’s competitive job market, hiring personnel only spend seconds scanning through resumes looking for key words to inspire them to read further. This means that your résumé has only 10-15 seconds to grasp their attention and present your value. Otherwise it will be discarded.

Resume Writing

ABC Distinguished Documents offers resume and cover letter writing services as well as interview coaching. Barb Kanney is a Certified National Resume Writer through the National Resume Writer's Association (NRWA)

With the Ohio unemployment rate hovering around 6%, more potential layoffs looming in the near future and jobs being outsourced to foreign countries, the competition is intense and you must represent yourself well with a quality first impression.

With over eight years of experience as a professionally trained résumé writer, I will provide you with a standout résumé that will grasp the hiring professional’s attention and persuade them to invite you for an interview. I stay knowledgeable about current hiring trends through professional memberships and conventions. The Akron Beacon Journal quoted me in articles outlining resumes, cover letters, and tips for new graduates and career changers. In addition, I enjoy presenting seminars at local career fairs on “Winning Job Search Tools.” Examples of my resumes and cover letters are available in nationally published résumé books. Most importantly—my clients get interviews!

After an initial consultation to uncover your unique skills, knowledge, and accomplishments, I will put together a visually appealing, attention getting, accomplishment/skill based personal marketing piece tailored to you. Your information is prominently presented, exactly how employers expect to see it. With your résumé you will receive a reference sheet formatted in the same style, a complimentary set of interview tips, a job search contact log, and body language dos and don’ts for the interview.

As a complement to your résumé, a targeted cover letter highlighting the reasons you should be hired is highly recommended. General cover letters, thank you letters, ASCII text resumes and cover letters for web posting and emailing, and interview coaching are additional services offered.
