The
HelpMeGetAnInterview
Application-writing and Résumé Service
| It's
a tough and competitive market out there for graduate jobs,
and to properly maximise your chances of getting hired, you
have to (a) apply to a minimum of 30 companies, and (b) make
your applications look as impressive as possible so that you
get that all-important interview. All of this is, of course,
time-consuming when you're at University with your coursework
and exams looming. |
|
That's
where we can help you!
|
The
Applications team at HelpMe are real people with real experience
in the graduate jobs market. Here's what we can do to help:
In
each application form that you complete, you simply must make
your work experience, and the answers to the 4 or 5 competency-style
questions (e.g. teamwork, leadership, problem-solving, initiative
etc), sound ultra-impressive. The most important question
you will generally be required to complete, and the one which
is most often completed badly by students, is the "Career
Motivation" question (e.g. "Please describe why
you have selected this business area, and the qualities you
possess that make you suited for it"). Don't let your
answer to this question let you down!
You need to stand out from the crowd to get offered an interview.
HelpMeGetAnInterview will
make the most of your achievements and work experience, by
re-writing your answers effectively, and making you sound
ultra-impressive.
 |
Simply
e-mail us the name of the company and the question you
are having problems with, together with your draft answer
which you'd like to be improved (or a paragraph describing
the example you want to use), and we will re-write it
and e-mail it back to you within five business days.
Tell us the word or character limit which appears on
the application form, and we'll make sure our answer
complies with it.
|
We
charge £30 for each competency application form answer
which we re-write for you. The exception is the "career
motivation" questions (these are unquestionably the most
important questions to which recruiters attach the greatest
weighting, and accordingly these are the ones to which we
can add most value by providing you with insider, expert knowledge
to demonstrate that you have done your research) and technical
questions (where you are required to demonstrate your technical
knowledge of the company or industry to which you are applying)
- the cost of such answers is £50.
When
you decide whether to use our services, remember that you
are targeting a career that will pay you as much as £30,000
in your first year, and potentially a few hundred thousand
pounds later. This is an investment in yourself and your future
wealth.
Note that we only rewrite application answers for you in minimum
batches of 4.
|
You
need a killer résumé!
|
Your
résumé is the primary document which will sell
you to a company, so make sure it's better that anyone else's!
We have reviewed thousands, and written hundreds, of résumés
for clients (from new graduates to professionals of 20 years'
standing, across a wide variety of industries), so we know
what employers are looking for.
Your
résumé needs to (a) be well-presented, (b)
be clear and succinct and (c) set out your work experience
and achievements in as understandable and impressive a
manner as possible, which shows you are better than the
rest. As well as helping you get the interview, a professionally
written résumé will continue to work in
your favour at the interview itself by carefully focusing
the interviewer's mind on your major strengths and achievements
- so it's a vital tool in helping you get the job of your
dreams! |
|
HelpMeGetAnInterview
will re-write your résumé for you, specifically
improving your work experience and achievements and presenting
them as impressively as possible, so that you stand out from
the crowd.
Our
charges for résumés vary between £150
for undergraduates with very little work experience, to £350
for those with significant technical/professional experience.
Please send us your résumé, and we will send
you a quote based on the time we will require to perfect it.
|
Help
with your cover letters
|
Employers
receive hundreds of applications for each job, so a well-written
covering letter will really make your application stand out
from the crowd. The bottom line? If your cover letter does
not show specific, detailed knowledge of the business area
you are applying to, then you're probably not going to be
interviewed.
 |
Let
us show you how your cover letter should really look.
Simply send us the name of the company and the exact position
you are applying to, along with your résumé
and an explanation of why you want to target this particular
job, and we'll draft you a great position-specific letter
which will present your work experience and achievements
in a manner relevant to the position to which you are
applying, and which demonstrates that you have done your
research into the job. We'll match your skills and experience
to the employer's requirements - all of which will maximise
your chances of getting the interview. |
We
charge £130 for each position-specific cover letter
we write for you.
|
Help
with Personal Statements
|
For
applications to Masters, MBA or other post-graduate courses,
we have extensive experience in writing and rewriting "personal
statements". If you wish us to do this for you, we will
quote you a price once we have seen the question, the word
limit, and the data you wish to be included.
|
Applications
to consulting firms
| Many
consulting firms do not require completion of an application
form, but will accept your résumé and cover
letter. There are hundreds of such firms which are worth
applying to, but it's incredibly time-consuming to track
down their details and find out about them. HelpMeGetAnInterview
will provide a service where we will draft your résumé
and consulting cover letter, then give you the contact
details (i.e. contact name, address, phone number, e-mail
address, URL and a paragraph containing a brief précis
about the firm and what they do) for over 140 consulting
firms worth targeting. We will prepare cover letters (and
mailing labels) for each of these firms, each correctly
addressed to the appropriate contact. You will then be
able to print your résumé, cover letters
and mailing labels, and send them to the firms. Details
of this service are available on request. We also hope
soon to be able to provide this service for Hedge Funds.
