An Up-to-Date Resume is Key to Stability in an Ever-Changing Career

Indianapolis, IN (PRWEB) January 15, 2008 -- Professionals are on the move more than ever. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median tenure with current employers is only four years. For employees between the ages of 25 and 34, the median tenure is only 2.9 years.

"Thirty or forty years ago, it was common for new workers to emerge from high school, college, apprenticeship, or another training program and start to work at a company that would remain their employer until they retired. Today this entire scenario has changed and 'work history' is a much less stable, more fluid concept than it was for our parents or grandparents. Workers move freely from job to job and employer to employer. Periods of unemployment or self-employment might mix with temporary, contract, consulting, or interim assignments," says Louise Kursmark, a professional resume writer and author of the new book Directory of Professional Resume Writers.

One of the ways people can stay prepared for an ever-changing career is to keep their resume polished and up-to-date--presenting the perfect opportunity to enlist the help of a professional resume writer. According to Kursmark, not only will a professional resume writer help format and proofread a person's resume, their expertise can also transform it into a powerful tool that's much more likely to yield success in the job search. In fact, professional resume writers offer valuable insight regarding all aspects of job search and career management, including:

? An objective assessment of a person's career and capabilities

? An understanding of employer needs

? The ability to draw out details and experiences that will make a resume powerful and unique

? Professional writing and formatting skills

? Knowledge of effective job search methods

In her book, Directory of Professional Resume Writers, Kursmark guides readers through the process of working with a resume writer to create or update an outstanding resume and use it effectively. Readers learn who the nation's top resume writers are and how to choose the right one to suit their job search and career needs.
