You can't write a strong resume if you don't know what type of position you are looking for. Bridget,

Really good point. You can’t write a strong resume if you don’t know what type of position you are looking for.

You are right on target with all of these points. Unfortunately, you may not know the other person's exact frame of mind until once you've begun. (I know whereof I speak. lol) The key is to go over these points before agreeing to take on the resume writing project. And, if you want a professionally done resume, you should heed the above advice. Be prepared to be interviewed, participate, and be realistic, and honest. Then the experience is one of the most positive experiences you will ever have! Great post! You are right on target with all of these points.

I will add a corollary to #2 -- you don't know "what you want to be when you grow up." Clients who don't know what kind of job they want to pursue also aren't ready to work with a resume writer. The more specific the job target, the better! Great points, Barbara!
