Start 2006 With A New Job, A New Career, Or A Raise

The beginning of 2006 is the perfect time to negotiate a raise, a re-evaluation of your career, or a totally new career. An often overlooked step in this process, is a professionally prepared resume. In some instances a well prepared resume could equal an increase of 15 to 25% in salary.

FDI Consulting is a private firm with the experience necessary to boost your exposure and broaden your career opportunity horizon. The company offers a host of effective services for those seeking a new career or an advancement of their current position.

Managing partner Matthew Kolinski says, "After working in the staffing industry as a recruiter, I remember the stack of resumes on my desk every morning. Whether faxed, emailed, snail-mailed, or dropped off, a few would always stand out from the rest. The outstanding qualities of certain candidates were easily apparent. Some of the resumes, if not many, were but glanced at, and placed in a stack. We could have titled that stack: Desperate. The reason? They didn’t sell … immediately.


After reviewing hundreds of resumes every day, it was always apparent, to both me and my colleagues, which were professionally written and which were not. Ultimately, unscientifically, 9 times out of 10 these were the people who were hired."


"It was evident that some of the brightest people out of college struggled to get the job they deserved because they were unable to communicate their accomplishments and strengths in a strong and effective manner.  In many cases, from a recruiter's point of view, the resumes that progress through the hiring process were able to efficiently sell the accomplishments of the person in the clearest way possible."


"Today’s job market is so competitive, every advantage can dramatically improve your chances to secure the job you desire and deserve. Recruiters, and hiring managers, facing 100s of resumes (if not 1000s) for each position, won’t (can’t) waste their time with a resume that is anything less than perfect. Assuming you didn’t tailor your own business suit for your last interview, why wouldn’t you let the professionals tailor your resume?
