How Resume Target Helped Kace Go From Zero Responses to 10+ Interviews in a Month

Kace worked with Resume Target during a transitional period in his career. He had taken three years off from work to travel, while completing a post-graduate diploma in Data Analytics. He was excited to leverage what he had learned as he looked to move into a new role.

Before he reached out to Resume Target, he applied for data analysis roles with his old resume, which focused on his SaaS implementation experience. He applied to numerous job postings and received no responses.

A few friends had suggested he try a professional resume writing service, and he began researching his options. He wanted to ensure he was making a smart investment.

After completing his research, Kace decided to go with Resume Target. We were the top-rated service in North America on Google, and our reviews demonstrated our commitment to the success of our clients.

He booked a meeting with one of our resume advisors, who helped select his service. Given that he had under 5 years of previous work experience and had just completed a new diploma, our Mid-Career Service was a perfect fit.

Kace opted for the package that included Resume Target’s LinkedIn Optimization and Resume Distribution services, which would be completed after the resume and cover letter were finalized.

Our LinkedIn Optimization service involves strategically transferring content from the resume to the LinkedIn profile to ensure the two are telling the same story and highlighting the necessary keywords.

The Resume Distribution service sends your new resume and cover letter to our network of 18k+ recruiters, based on specific, individual variables, including salary range, industry, and location.

After purchasing his service, he immediately received an email to book an interview with one of our in-house writers. To prepare for his interview, Kace provided his old resume, examples of positions and companies of interest, and past academic projects highlighting his new skills. This information allows the writer to optimize the questions they are asking.

From the moment you get started and sign up with the package, they hold your hand the entire time,” Kace noted.

After collaborating with his writer, he felt he had the support he needed to relaunch his career. The interview allowed us to better determine Kace’s goals and how to tailor his resume to secure more interviews.

Kace noted working with Resume Target felt less like a transactional service and more like a partnership, which he genuinely appreciated. Our approach allowed his resume to maintain a professional tone while still reflecting his personality.

We decided to focus the resume on Kace’s recent educational experience and technical skills in data analytics.

With this, we pulled out key coursework and projects that demonstrated the diverse skill set he had gained during his schooling.

Then, we discussed his past work experience, highlighting transferable skills and key accomplishments to better demonstrate where Kace wanted to take his career.

We also examined the job descriptions that Kace had sent to align the content of the resume and cover letter with the various skills, qualifications, and keywords that the postings were looking for. This included technologies, soft skills, and educational requirements.

Three business days after his interview, Kace received his first drafts. He had a few questions and suggestions to improve his documents. He messaged his resume writer, and we collaborated with him every step of the way.

“They are truly professionals.”

His writer answered all his questions, explained why we formatted or wrote content in a specific way, and quickly implemented the changes he requested.

Kace was thrilled with how his documents turned out. From here, we began work on his LinkedIn profile optimization. We also sent Kace a link to our Resume Distribution portal that he could access via the email he used when he signed up.

“What an experience it was,” Kace added. “It was very polished and I got a lot of compliments on my resume, and ultimately, it just gives you a ton of confidence going into that job search.”

The number of interviews and callbacks Kace received increased drastically, getting him over 10 interviews in under a month! It wasn’t long after that he got a job offer that he accepted.

The investment Kace made in his resume was well worth it. About a year later, Kace was ready to make his next move. With just a few tweaks to his existing resume, it didn’t take long for the interviews to start rolling in yet again. He ultimately accepted a new position a few weeks later.

Additionally, Kace noted that his updated LinkedIn profile still has recruiters reaching out with new opportunities years later.

“I can’t speak highly enough of Resume Target ,” Kace added. “It was just a tremendous experience, and I would recommend everybody use them!”
