Services for Managers and Career Professionals

“It’s perfect. I had a good friend read it and she said you had me pegged. The way it was written has really boosted my self confidence to make me realize I have sold myself short in the past, but will not going forward." (Accounting Manager)

 “Thank you for all of your hard work. Word of mouth is the best referral service one can offer and you have my highest recommendation.” (Sales Manager)

 “You are a miracle worker!” (City Manager Candidate)

Manager and Career Professional Resumes: As a manager or career professional, you need a resume that highlights your skills and experiences in a way that makes an employer want to meet you. To be effective, your resume should not be a career “obituary” or list of jobs and responsibilities. It must highlight what you bring to the table in terms of skills, knowledge, and accomplishments. Your resume is a marketing tool that sells you to prospective employers. Use it to respond to advertised openings, to contact companies and recruiters, to send to your networking contacts and references, and to take with you to interviews.

Manager and Career Professional Resume Fees: The resume development service includes an in-depth interview via e-mail, fax, and/or phone. Prices to compose from scratch or rewrite your resume range from $400 to $700 and are based on the project’s level of complexity. If you want more than one version of your resume for additional job targets, there will be an additional charge. As a general guideline, fees for new graduates and people with less than five years of experience start at $400, mid-career and mid-management clients at $525, and engineers and high-tech at $600. Your resume drafts will be emailed to you in Microsoft Word format and you will receive your final resume in Word, PDF, and text-only format.

Mini Bios for Internet Sites: Savvy career professionals know how to market themselves and network via business sites such as LinkedIn. BWCR can prepare a mini bio for these sites. The fee is $125 if ordered with your resume and $175 if ordered later. Fees are higher for those whose resume was not written by BWCR.

Cover Letter Package: The package includes three strategically written cover letter versions that you can use as templates for creating targeted letters: one for responding to advertisements for openings, one to be sent directly to companies in which you are interested, and one for targeting recruiters in your industry. The fee for the package is $250. Order it when you order your resume, and you will receive a 10% discount.

Targeted Cover Letters: Letters targeted toward specific employers are very effective. The fee for a targeted cover letter is $225.

Networking Letters: Networking remains the most effective way to find a new position, and networking letters are crucial to the job search. The fee is $225.

Recruiter Letters: Letters to recruiters include more personal information than cover letters. The fee is $225.

Thank-You Letters: Thank-you letters after interviews can be the deciding factor. They impress employers, keep you fresh in their minds, and give you an opportunity to provide additional information. The fee is $175.

Acceptance, Declining, and Resignation Letters: These letters are another important element of the job search. They range from $125 to $175.

Reference List: Do not include a reference sheet with your resume unless requested, but do take a list of five or six references to your interviews. The fee is $75.

Reference Dossier: The reference dossier is an enhanced reference document. It not only includes the names and contact information for your references but also valuable information about your working relationship with the person. The fee for this document is $125.

Business Profiles: Use a business profile to market your business to potential clients, as a stand-alone document, or as part of a marketing package. The fee for a one-to-two page business profile ranges from $300 to $500.

Interview Coaching: Preparation is crucial to a successful interview. Get the extra confidence you need to excel in those interviews. Coaching can be done in-person or via phone. Topics that can be addressed include answers to typical interview questions, body language, questions to ask the employer, phone interviews, and salary negotiation. The fee is $75 per 30 minutes or less.

Job-Search Success System: Be sure to ask Betty about this system that will help you set up a plan for finding positions perfect for you, tap into the hidden job market, use internet techniques to research companies and industries, overcome job search challenges, and much more.

Customized Career Distribution Services: Once your resume and a cover letter targeted to recruiters are developed, use our customized career distribution service to send your resume to an unlimited number of retained and contingency recruiters based on your career focus, industry preferences, and salary requirements. A custom-addressed letter will be sent to each recruiter along with your resume from your e-mail address. BWCR is invisible in the process. You will receive a Microsoft Excel file with the address, phone number, and e-mail address of each recipient. You will get maximum coverage at a cost-effective rate.
