She was targeting Software Development roles.  \nHowever, her resume was very lean and had no results. It failed to portray her capabilities and entice employers.  \nOur Approach:  \nTo help her boost her application, we also created a cover letter for her.  \n78% of employers expect a cover letter, with 49% of HR managers rating it as the second-best application component, after a tailored resume.  \nFor the resume we used an ATS-friendly format and:  \n1 Captured the reader’s attention within the first few lines  \n2 Highlighted her software and web development achievements. 3  \nWove relevant keywords throughout the resume.  \nWhere is she now?  \nWith our resume and cover letter, Renee got a job as a Jr. SharePoint Developer at her dream company—one of the three energy drink giants in the US.  \nShe soon got a promotion and now works as a Sales Portal Product Manager there.  \nWould you like us toredo your resume, too?  \nClick here to invest in our resume-writing services or callus for a consultation .  \nBook Service  \nCall Us  \nWarning: The following pages have been saved as images in order to protect Renee’s work as well as our work from being copied and indexed.
