Writemates Offers the Write Stuff for Consumers
Even when you pay top dollar for services, there is always the
potential for disappointment. Contest-driven websites diminish this
potential by allowing consumers to choose from competing
freelancers, permitting glimpses into different style options for what
their money can buy. From web-design to logo creation to product
naming, sites featuring freelance contests are becoming the go-to for
those who simply don’t know whom to go to.
Writemates.com allows freelancers to bid on a variety of writing jobs.
Customers are provided drafts by three trusted professionals, skilled
and experienced in the exact area of the project at hand. Because all
of Writemates’ contest finalists are compensated for their work and
are rated and credentialed based on all of their submissions (chosen
or not) each freelancer takes every writing assignment quite
seriously.
This company believes that you, the customer, should only see work
by people who have been hand-picked and fairly paid, and who take
pride in and accountability for everything that they do.
Writemates debuts in July of 2015 with professional resume writing
contests.
Thinking you need a little help with that resume? You do!
Quiz:
Which individual needs professional help with his/her resume?
a. A qualified, experienced, and well educated candidate
b An experienced candidate who lacks formal education
c An educated candidate who lacks experience
d. All of the above
And the answer is…d. All of the above
Here’s why:
The first candidate we will call “Mr. Perfect.” Harvard educated,
Master’s in Business, a list of accomplishments that would wow the
most discriminating recruiter. But what if said recruiter is a stickler
for grammar and what if Mr. Perfect is so busy doing perfect things
that he doesn’t catch the grammatical blunder on his resume – a
blunder so offensive that it causes the recruiter to gasp, tisk, and toss
Mr. Perfect’s list of outstanding accomplishments into the confetticut shredder she keeps chair-side? That 4.0 GPA and impressive list
of publications won’t get Mr. P anywhere once it’s been minced and
scrambled randomly amongst the rejected masses.
And how about Candidate B, the well-seasoned applicant who,
although highly qualified, does not possess the pedigree to match?
This young woman -- we’ll call her Miss Been-There-Done-That –
knows the job she wants and has the skills to qualify her. But the
head of HR is still paying off his own student loans and can’t help
but hold a tiny grudge against those adjacent to him on the corporate
ladder who haven't had to sit through the SAT’s, the GRE’s, or
Accounting 101. Miss BTDT needs the help of a professional resume
writer who can transform her resume into a showcase of her on-thejob experiential learning, tweaked to impress even the most degreeprejudiced amongst HR Directors.
And our candidate C, Mr. All-Educated-But-No-Place-To-Go? Only
a skilled, professional resume writer can tease out all of the work-like
experiences from his educational history and frame them in a manner
that would cause a resume reader seeking an experienced candidate to
take a second look.
When it comes to investing in your future, there is nothing wiser or
safer than investing a small amount of money in hiring a professional
to create your resume for you. The cost is minimal, the and the
benefits are innumerable. Whether you are Candidate A, B, or C
above, or a healthy combination of the three, consider acquiring
professional help on your resume. You'll ensure you've put your best
foot forward in a world in which -- for better or worse -- banks
heavily on first impressions.
