We are excited to bring you a live question and answer session with professional resume writer Ron Reed. After spending many years as a New York City-based recruiter and realizing that there was a massive need for résumé writing services Ron decided to start his own company.
What makes me unique is that I am able to pair my writing skills with my recruitment background. Additionally, I am recognized as a Certified Professional Résumé Writer by the Professional Association of Résumé Writers & Career Coaches. I understand the psychology of recruiting. I understand how a recruiter reads a résumé. I understand what they want to see and how they want to see it. I understand how to minimize the red flags and concerns that are running through the recruiter's mind. Ron Reed.
