Why should I purchase a BAKOSresume and not go to a local resume company?

First, the depth of talent is unsurpassed. When you order a BAKOSresume, each and every BAKOSresume is unique. Working from vast resources, these specially trained master professional writers will synthesize your information, crystallize a theme, coalesce data, and formulate a custom BAKOSresume. This 'packaging methodology' artform has been pioneered by Bakos Group, establishing a reputation as the foremost authority of effective resumes — interest-arousing, interview-generating, dynamic and powerful document. Additionally, no other service offers this depth of professional writing and design talent, combined with a full range of value-added benefits.

And remember, when you have your resume produced by a resume service, usually a 1- or 2-person operation, your resume will be similar to the resume produced before you and the resume produced after you. Worse and common, the preference and style of the resume writer may best be suited for job seekers different from your industry and skillset. When you hire Bakos Group, our Writing Coordinators will select the master professional writers who have the best understanding or experience in your type of background.

Do I need to come in?

Normally unnecessary. Scheduling in-office appointments delays production of your BAKOSresume, and can conflict with your daily work and personal routines. Bakos Group diligently makes it convenient, supporting you around-the-clock, from the comfort of your home.

Are BAKOSresumes competitively priced?

Of course. Our efficiency, multiple high quality standards and processes, accumulated vast resources, and 20+ years of experience allow us to be extremely cost effective. In fact, before a BAKOSresume is ordered, Bakos Group guarantees that the price is the lowest for a comparable resume. Not only will we match the competitor's price, but reduce it 20%.
Of all the choices, which BAKOSresume should I order?
A variety of factors will affect your decision. Bakos Group offers numerous types of BAKOSresumes, designed to meet your needs and budget. All BAKOSresumes comply with our strict high quality standards: There is no change in quality, only changes in methodologies in producing the PERFECTresume. All BAKOSresumes are bundled with additional value-added services to maximize your marketability and provide a multidimensional approach to your job search. Your Career Advisor will explain the choices and assist you. Remember, all BAKOSresumes are guaranteed to your satisfaction with our unlimited revision policy and then backed with our unconditional performance guarantee: If your BAKOSresume does not procure a job, we will rewrite it free of charge. No other service even comes close!

If you are relatively satisfied with your existing resume and need partial professional writing talent and a custom designed BAKOSresume, numerous choices are available for you to control the price.

If you recognized that your next position is fiercely competitive, that you would like to make a major leap in your earnings or position level, or you realize that your next move is critical to your career, two choices are offered using a professional writer or a team of professional writers.

If you are a professional, executive or aspiring to management levels of responsibility, and / or you have a complex, multidisciplined or multi-industry background, and you need to show all the nuances and facets of your career, multiple teams of professional writers is ideal.

Will I be interviewed?

The Writing Department will not hesitate to interview you, if necessary. The Writing Department utilizes vast resources, usually obviating interviews. However, if you prefer, our Writing Department can schedule interviews. Interview charges are nominal, if any. Based on our experience, the most efficient and effective process is to receive additional or updated information by fax or Email from you. This self-reflective, free-association process is an excellent exercise for you — refreshing your memory on pertinent events (a Bakos Group Consultant can prompt you in these areas). The supplied information can be rough and unstructured. If the Writing Department requires clarification or additional information, they will call you at your convenience. However, the 'first working draft' normally serves as a basis or perspective to further develop the BAKOSresume.

Do I fill out a form?

We have found that forms are too restrictive and cumbersome, disallowing event recollection, and commonly used by inexperienced resume writers. The most effective approach is to provide your most recent resume, if you have one, and updated information. If you do not have a resume, simply outline your background and the professional writers will do the rest.

How long does it take to produce a BAKOSresume?

To maintain our high quality standards, we request 7 - 10 days to mail the 'first working draft.' A first-class mail date (please allow for mail delivery time) is scheduled at the time of your order. However, our production load is usually ahead of schedule, many times 1-3 days. Of course, the process can be expedited to accommodate you, if possible. Because other pending work would be reassigned and rescheduled, there is a 25% expedited surcharge for 24-hour turnaround and a 15% expedited surcharge for 48-hour turnaround. Depending on workload production, the extra charge is waivable if your order can be processed without interrupting pending orders.

How do I receive the 'first working draft?'
Bakos Group prefers to email the 'first working draft' with full instructions and directions for your review.
How many drafts or revisions am I allowed?
There is no limit and there is no extra charge. Bakos Group professionals strive to produce a BAKOSresume, using a personalized approach, that meets your total satisfaction, is comfortable and defensible, and effective. Remember, Bakos Group is open 24 hours per day, 7 days per week to service you. Usually the 'first working draft' is in sync with how you want to portray your credentials. Subsequent drafts, based on your input, are produced for your review. Once completed, your BAKOSresume is backed with the unconditional guarantee that you will procure a new job or the writers will rewrite it free of charge. There is no time limit for this exclusive, unconditional guarantee.

How effective are BAKOSresumes?

Our surveys consistently show that approximately 80% of job seekers who use BAKOSresumes start new jobs within 2 months — essentially smashing the 6.7 month standard established by the U.S. government. Many of our clients receive offers within a few days. Depending on your job search activity, a successful job search can be very short.

How many prints will I receive?

Complimentary prints are provided. You are not obligated to order a supply of Bakos stationery. However, our surveys show that our specialty stationery — unavailable anywhere — has extremely high impact. Don't shortchange yourself with store-bought stationery.
Should I subscribe to any of the databases?

Traditional job searching methods need to be enhanced with database exposure. Hiring companies no longer have the time, resources or budget to recruit talent. Companies are turning to on-line and off-line databases because large pools of talent are readily available and easy to access. Your BAKOSresume will be posted on an Internet database free of charge. To broaden your exposure, consider other available databases — in fact, Bakos Group offers more than 10,000 databases!

Should I consider a BAKOSresume distribution program?

Depends on how proactive you wish to be. Better than 85% of all jobs are available in the 'hidden job market.' You could do your own research at a library and find outdated information. Then you will need to cope with the drudgery of typing and sending BAKOSresumes. If you are a busy job seeker, your best return on investment would be a customized BAKOSresume distribution program. The expertise of the Research Department, combined with the low effective per letter rate — in fact, lowest price in the world — makes this service extremely economical. Bakos Group can increase your career opportunities 3-fold!

Do I need Bakos Group in my job search?

When you have a legal problem, you go to an attorney. When you have a complex tax problem, you go to an accountant. Similarly, when you need the expertise, depth of talent, experience, and assistance of career management professionals, hire Bakos Group. Your career is too important!

When will I receive my free web page and database posting?

When your BAKOSresume is finalized, it will be forwarded to our webmaster who will convert your BAKOSresume to an HTML format with your own unique URL, create your Email address, and publish it on the Internet. Database posting is usually completed at about the same time. Please allow approximately one week.

Can I cancel my order?

Once your order is placed, work is begun immediately to assure timely delivery and high multiple-phase quality compliance. As a customized service, your BAKOSresume will be carefully and diligently developed. These intellectual processes are required to produce an impediment-free BAKOSresume that is both comfortable and defensible to you and, at the same time, maximizes your marketability.

If your circumstances change and you no longer need a BAKOSresume at this time, full in-office, no-time-limit credit is issued where you can apply your full payment anytime when you re-launch your career search.
