SAMS’ Resume Preparation Service has a specific and limited purpose: We review and re-construct your resume, ensuring that it is a professional-looking, high-impact document that does full justice to your experience and credentials, from the perspective of hiring organizations.
Resume Overhauled: Submission of your draft resume in MS Word, enables us to get started. Once you subscribe to our service through the SAMS website, you are required to submit a soft copy of your latest resume, providing complete information about your qualifications, experience and skills, apart from key responsibilities handled by you in all roles, from the time you commenced working, to date. Please note that SAMS does not develop resumes or sections of a resume, on the basis of oral inputs provided by subscribers.
Resume Restyled Using A Contemporary Template: We maintain a library of resume templates for multiple roles and levels and shall share a maximum of three templates that we believe to be suitable for your profile. Based on need, a SAMS team member shall additionally interact with you to help select the template that best represents your candidature to hiring organizations. We will thereafter commence work on developing your new resume, using the finalized template.
Gaps Systematically Addressed; High-Impact Application Constructed: We shall study your draft resume, closely reviewing details of key qualifications, experience, skills and attributes, provided by you. We shall relate this to your current job role, as well as the positions you wish to apply for, to identify apparent information, experience and/or skill gaps, that may constrain your active consideration. This approach helps ensure that your resume is fully responsive to the expectations of the more progressive hiring organizations, in the social sector.
Turn-around Time (TAT): Following successful registration and submission of your draft resume in the desired format, SAMS will provide you visibility to our online scheduling widget to indicate the TAT you could expect for your resume.
