Professional resume writers have long supported job seekers in their efforts to land a new position by providing them with polished, well-crafted documentation that describes their experiences, skills and accomplishments in the context of their work history. As such, countless professionals have turned to the expertise of resume writers to document the value that they have to offer their next employer. Recently, though, the ethical nature of hiring a resume writer was cast into doubt by an article published by U.S. News & World Report. The article's author claims that having a resume writer craft this document is unethical, as it misrepresents the skill sets that professionals hold. Amanda E. Clark, president and editor-in-chief of Grammar Chic, Inc., refutes this idea and explains how the best professional resume writers maintain high ethical standards while drafting documents that showcase their clients' skills and experiences.
The article asserts that a resume is a tool that hiring managers use to "assess their [job seekers'] ability to organize their thoughts, write well and produce an error-free document." When a candidate who hired a resume writer is offered a job, the author of the article contends, the hiring manager that is offering them the position is assuming that they have the ability to create written work that is at the same level as their resume. Additionally, the article argues that individuals who have their resumes written professionally may be hired for jobs for which they are not properly prepared or qualified.
While this line of reasoning is not widely shared throughout the professional world, Clark asserts that it can harm the odds that job seekers land new positions if they heed this idea. She explains that the best resume writing companies, like Grammar Chic, Inc., are dedicated to accurately reflecting the capabilities and experiences of their clients.
"Ultimately, the skills, accomplishments and experiences that my clients possess speak for themselves," comments Clark. "An effective resume writer is able to showcase these details in a way that calls attention to the capabilities of a professional while highlighting exactly why they are qualified for the job for which they are applying."
While she asserts that actually having a resume written by a professional is not a moral question, Clark does note that it is important to work with a professional resume company that values integrity and honesty. "I disagree completely with the idea that simply having a resume written is unethical," Clark explains, "however, I do think it is important for resume writers to maintain ethical practices when actually sitting down to craft these documents. At Grammar Chic, we do not, under any circumstances, expand upon the truth or misrepresent the work of our clients. We only include factual information and do not lie to make job seekers look better on paper. That said, though, we are able to talk with each client about their experiences and skills and identify key accomplishments and proficiencies that they may not even notice. We can then use our expertise regarding the resume writing process to frame these details in a way that catches the attention of human resources professionals and hiring managers."
Clark encourages any job seekers who are looking for a way to improve their search to call upon the skills of a professional resume writer to assist them in best representing their work history on paper—and increase the odds that they land an interview. The team at Grammar Chic, Inc. is experienced in drafting resumes for professionals in all stages of their careers, from entry-level to senior executive level, across countless industries.
