  • Help you interpret the confusing details of the duties/qualifications sections so you can determine if you're even qualified.
  • How to identify essential key words for the résumé development.

I think the résumé and reviewing helped as the position I got is not entry level and they do not normally hire outside for this position, plus I get about 6k more than the original position I applied for. Thanks so much for all the help you gave me! I believe it was a large help to me getting a higher level position."
