Free Resume Evaluations by HireMaker Resume Service

HireMaker is pleased to announce a unique service: Free resume evaluations, where your resume receives a score on the following areas:

  • Overall effectiveness
  • Experience section
  • Skills section
  • Golden Rule violations
  • Wooden Rule violations (not nearly as important as "golden rule" violations, but worth fixing anyway.
  • Visual appeal
  • Layout
  • Improvement opporunity: Every resume evaluation includes our unique "how can we help" score, where we let you know how much we can improve on your resume.
  • And best of all, one concrete tip on how to make your resume better, even if you don't hire us to do your full resume for you.

We make this offer in good faith: Your name won't wind up on a mailing list; Salespeople won't call; It's simply a way to get a little something back for taking the time to visit our site.  And yes, we're also proud of our resume writing skills, and we want to show them off too.  There'll be plenty more resume improvements beyond the one free tip.

HireMaker Resume Service Job-getting tip number 45:

Hand-shakes matter!  Most people with bad handshakes (a) Have no idea, or (b) Have some crazy notion that they're somehow smarter and wiser by not getting into a macho bone-crushing contest with another person, or (c) Truthfully, we just don't know.

Actually, it does matter: Just do a firm handshake, and get it over with.  And if you're under the mistaken assumption that "good" means "bone-crushing", that's actually incorrect.  Firm means you grasp the other persons hand and hold it.

 Spend a bit of time on Google.  Maybe YouTube.  It's hard to describe how in writing.  Just remember, people remember extremely good handshakes in a good way, and they remember extremely bad handshakes in a bad way.
