REVIEWS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Web Author at Edward Jones Investments
I never have enough confidence in my ability to put together a resume and since hiring managers are changing what they want to see in a resume every couple years I decided to hire someone. I found Tom's service online. He helped me with 2 versions of my resume and coverletters and he was very reasonably priced. I loved the finished product and got the second position I applied for. I've also passed his number on to many friends.

Tom Arterburn provides an excellent resume service. I would highly recommend his service to anyone looking for a professionaly written resume
I have known Tom Arterburn for over nine years, both professionally and personally. I can personally confirm that he conducts his business with the highest degree of competence and ethical standards. I can assure the same can be said for the conduct of his personal affairs. I enthusiastically recommend him for his honesty and great skill in resume making.
Results. Period. I've been employed a year and I'm still getting queries based on the resume he wrote. Today alone, a major defense contractor wanted to interview me for two different positions. Chris C.

With Tom's help my resume became an eye-catcher and helped me land my current job.
Tom did a wonderful job with editing and adding to my resume. It's so much more professional looking and sounding.

Did a great and fast job on my resume
Licensed Professional Counselor, Investigator, Communications Specialist
I have a BA in graphic design, but had built a successful career as an investigative reporter/writer/editor. I was desperately looking to change my focus after 13 years in the newspaper industry. I wanted to get back to my creative roots and pursue design-related jobs.
I sought out Tom. He took my information and provided objective feedback into my resume content. In a VERY short time, Tom had provided me with an excellent, professional resume that helped me land the best job of my career to date that allowed me to use all of my skills in a great environment. I have been able to tweak and add to the resume as needed. I thought it was a big expense at the time, but I've learned that it's paid for itself three times over. If I ever need a resume, I would look to Tom Arterburn again. It was painless and successful.
Tom added more professionalism to my resume and helped me to bring out and articulate my accomplishments and areas of expertise. He is knowledgeable as well on application processes, and is very responsive.
I had struggled for years with having the right resume, that is until I hired Tom Arterburn.
Not only do I have the job I have been trying to obtain for years, but I was so impressed with his work that I have recommended him personally to anyone who has expressed wanting their resume done professionally.
That list is still growing to this day.
Once again Thank you Tom.

Tom wrote my resume two years ago when I decided to look for work. Everytime I sent my resume, I recieved a response from the prospective employer. Tom's work is detailed, accurate, and presented in a professional manner.
