Online Resume Writing Services
Online Resume Writing ServicesThere are several ways to get paid for online resume writing services. They range from freelancing, creating a website to become a full-time writer or sending and re-selling resumes in the mail. For example, you can advertise your resume online and have it sent out to several companies who specialize in writing resumes. You would need to pay for each company you send it to so that you don't exceed your budget.You could also create your own website and use it as a way to advertise your resume online. You will need to purchase a domain name and hosting to go with it. This way you can start advertising your online resume to as many companies as possible.A freelance writer is a writer who provides resume writing services at a set price. The services they provide will vary based on the price you pay. The downside to this type of writer is that their rates may be very expensive. If you decide to hire them, it's important to look into all of the details of the job you're being hired to do before you agree to accept it.You can start out your search for online resume writing services by looking for companies or individuals who specialize in writing resumes. You can usually find several online postings from these types of people to work on a free contract basis. If you're going to choose this route, make sure you know what your contract says because you may have to keep paying for services that may not be needed. Additionally, you will need to be open to the fact that you won't be able to provide the same level of quality as a professional resume writer but you won't be paid if they don't use you.The other option is to use free online services. This means you will be hiring a freelance writer who specializes in writing resumes, but you will not have to pay for the service. The downside to this is that you may end up using poorly written and unsolicited samples of resumes and therefore not see the results you want. Since these sites are usual ly free, they offer the best rates available and are ideal for people who don't have the time to devote to a freelance writer.A freelance writer is someone who writes professionally to create an online resume. You must have a solid resume and be well prepared in order to meet the requirements for the job you are seeking. Hiring someone to create your resume allows you to focus your efforts on more important aspects of the job you are seeking. If you don't have one of these writers working for you, it can be tempting to just go with free services.One of the benefits of hiring a freelance writer to write your online resume is that you will be paid for your efforts. They will help you create your resume and ensure that it is concise and to the point. Hiring a freelancer to help you create your resume can allow you to focus on the job you are seeking. Before you can choose a writer, however, you will need to decide whether you want a free service or a paid one and whether you want to hi re someone who specializes in writing resumes or an all-around writer.

How to Negotiate the Salary of Your First Job
How to Negotiate the Salary of Your First Job This is the fourth in a series of six posts on salary negotiation published in partnership with PayScale.com. Salary negotiation is always challenging, but itâs especially intimidating for young grads who are just starting their careers. Any how-to on salary negotiation will advise you to use your skills and experience as leverage. So, how do you make a strong case for yourself when you donât have a lot of ammunition? First of all, do negotiate. Some studies have shown that negotiating a few thousand dollars more can add up to one million more in total earnings over the course of your career. Hereâs my advice for young job-seekers on keeping their negotiation tactics professional, friendly, data-driven, and timely when they receive their first offer: Be enthusiastic. Even if the offer is lower than you expected, an offer is an offer. Always be gracious and express excitement before you begin to discuss details. Donât feel the need to accept (or negotiate) right awayâ¦unless itâs the most perfect offer ever. Even if pushed to accept, ask to review the offer in writing if youâd like more time. Itâs important to be able to weigh your options and do some research on how the offer stacks up. That being said, donât take too much time. They have a job they need to fill. Do use the offer call (or email) to ask about benefits in addition to salary. When youâre doing your research after the call, make sure you know a typical salary benefits range. A full-time, but hourly gig might not come with benefits, whereas some of the best companies provide benefits that end up being worth 50% of your salary. Consider your entire package. Look at vacation time, moving allowance, and signing bonus. Itâs not typical for entry-level employees to be offered all of these, but itâs important to know if any are not included, as you may be able to negotiate these into your offer. Plus, moving bonuses are definitely worth bringing up if youâre moving to a new city. Be prompt. Once youâve researched, respond quickly. Email is your friend. It allows you to collect your thoughts, craft ideal responses and put your best foot forward during the negotiation. Lead with enthusiasm. Youâre still interested in the job and want to make it work. Then, bring up what you want to discuss. Be prepared to explain what you want, why you want it, and if possible, how it will benefit the company. Example: âIâd like to start on X instead of the Y as I would benefit from some extra moving time and then be able to start with all of my energy focused on learning the job.â Donât assume that saying their salary offer is lower than the average will work. Complement your research with an explanation of what you want and why. Take the Job Offer survey on PayScale for detailed insight into how this offer compares to similar ones. This will allow you to justify your rationale for a higher salary. It is important to be data-driven when negotiating. Be thoughtful about what you ask. Iâve seen someone who was offered a $50,000 salary ask for $60,000. Thatâs a 20% increase. When you consider that a typical yearly increase is between 2% and 3%, and promotions are typically are usually between 8 and 12%, that person essentially asked for the equivalent of two promotions. (Remember, be data driven!) Be ambitious, but realistic about what you ask for, and always back up your request with data about the company, the job title and the roleâs responsibilitiesâ"not second-hand knowledge youâve heard from friends or family. Accept or Decline. At some point, youâre going to either have to accept or decline. Show either positive enthusiasm or that youâre grateful for the offer. If itâs not going to work for you, itâs not going to work for you. Bow out with grace. You donât want to close off an opportunity for them to come back with another offer.
