In most cases, a draft is ready for your review within three to six business days following the interview.

With the Executive Package, you receive:

• 90-minute, in-depth interview, résumé draft composition (up to two full pages),
  and one set of revisions
  
• Your choice of many distinctive layout styles
  
• 10 copies of your résumé on any one of three premium-bond paper stocks and the typesetting (and three copies) of your professional references
  
• Lifetime storage (at our office) of all materials (on hard drive & backup disk)

Payment Information

1. Make certain that you can instantly provide dates relating to your employment and specific job titles (promotions). If necessary, please write them down so that you can quickly refer to them during the interview.
2. Bring a photocopy of your most recent résumé. A copy you do not need to have returned.  We have no interest in borrowing the language of other résumé writers, but if we do not have to write down employer and academic names and dates, it will reduce the amount of your valuable time that you need to spend at our office.
3. Be prepared to respond to specific questions that demonstrate your level of responsibility.
   If you managed a warehouse, we will ask the number of square feet comprising that facility. If you administered a budget, we will want to know the approximate dollar-amount. If you are in outside sales, you will be asked to define your territory, indicate how many regular accounts you service, and perhaps mention a few key commercial client names. If you managed a restaurant, we will quiz you regarding the number of seats and the annual revenues. Certainly, if you supervise
   people, we will be asking you how many and whether any of them are management staff.
4. Be ready to address questions regarding your achievements relative to each of your employment experiences. Did you earn any awards, surpass sales goals, receive meritorious pay raises, promotions or bonuses? Did you come up with an idea that helped your employer save money or improve efficiency? Were you asked to be on a management or advisory committee? Were you recruited to head up a successful project such as the startup of a new operation or the oversight of a major capital improvement? How has your performance compared to that of your counterparts, your peers, your predecessor, or even your own performance the previous year?
5. If possible, try to provide us with a brief, one-line description of your current and former employer companies. (E.g., New Mexico office of America's second-largest distributor of commercial kitchen equipment, or New Mexico's largest Ford dealership, or a leading regional manufacturer of cardboard packaging products, or Santa Fe's only daily newspaper with a
   circulation of 25,000, etc.) Without a doubt, the easiest place to quickly gather this informationis on the Web.
6. Bring a copy of one or two recent performance evaluations, one or two letters of recommendation, a newspaper review, or any other documentation that mentions you by name and indicates that you do a terrific job. We will carefully review these materials to extract a brief quote for inclusion on your résumé. To be sure, this is the most valuable thing you can bring to our office. Second-party testimonials rev up your résumé and always have a favorable impact on recruiters and managers. In fact, if you do not have any quotable materials, but feel certain that you can request and receive a letter from a former supervisor or professor, it is highly recommended that you do so. If it is helpful, you can have this material faxed directly to our office at 505 247-0705 or emailed to marissa@writeontimenm.com.  No cover sheet is required.  These items will be returned when you receive your final package.
7. Relevant licenses, certifications and special training diplomas. You can actually bring the certificates if you like, however we prefer a handwritten or typed list.
8. (Executive package only) Three to five professional references. Ideally, the best people to use are current or former supervisors, managers, or senior officers. Try to carefully select individuals who will give "glowing reports" when contacted. Other people who can be used as references include customers & clients, suppliers, officers of professional organizations to which you belong, and recent professors with whom you have studied. We prefer that you email your professional references to our office either prior to your appointment or within three days after your appointment. As an option, you can bring your list of references neatly printed or typed on a piece of paper when you come for your appointment. The preferred format follows.  Note that daytime phone numbers are best and that mailing addresses are not usually required, although we are happy to include them if you like. Email addresses can also be included at your option.
   *Note: When you receive your final package, it is an excellent idea to mail, fax or email a copy of your résumé to each of your listed references. Indicate that they should keep your résumé on hand at their office so that they can refer to it when taking calls from your prospective employers.
