Klaxos is NOT affiliated with LinkedIn.com and cannot help you with any LinkedIn.com billing, password, account access, or other questions.

Although LinkedIn® has asked us for our advice on new products and features, Klaxos is an independent profile and resume writing service. We do not have a relationship, affiliation, sponsorship, or endorsement by LinkedIn® or its parent company, Microsoft. No content on this website or any of our services has been authorized by or represents the views or opinions of LinkedIn® or Microsoft.

The Klaxos brand is inspired by the Klaxon, a horn that combines electronics and mechanics to make a loud, recognizable noise alerting people of critical information. Similarly, the Klaxos team combines impactful writing, digital media, and human intelligence to enable personal and organizational brands to make intelligent, relevant "noise" that overwhelms competitive clatter. While our LLC name continues to be LinkedIn Profile and Resume Writing Service, on June 8, 2018, we added Klaxos as our Doing Business As DBA name.

Below is the procedure for our resume and LinkedIn profile writing services:

1. Purchase the appropriate resume or LinkedIn package and add-on services.
2. You will instantly receive an email with the subject line: Receipt & Next Steps: Klaxos.
3. Send us your current resume (if no resume, it's not a problem) and any other information (e.g., job descriptions, jobs of interest, web pages) you want us to review.
4. We will review your submission and match you with a Klaxos team member who knows your function, industry, and level.
5. You will schedule a phone or video interview with us to review the information you have submitted.
6. After the consultation is finished, the 3-5 business days (2 business days for priority service) delivery time starts.
7. We will send you any requested edits/revisions within 1 business day. You can schedule another consultation to discuss edits.
8. The final resume will be delivered in Microsoft Word and PDF formats.
9. After we receive your written approval, we install the profile we wrote into your LinkedIn account. Upon request, we can email it to you in Microsoft Word so you can self-install it. We are the ONLY service that installs your new profile into your LinkedIn account.
10. If you bought other documents (e.g., cover letter, bio), you will receive them within 2 business days of your approval of your final resume.

NO. Our work is done by a small (on purpose), internal, certified team that has been writing and learning together since 2012 within the U.S. We leverage our shared experiences into career success for our clients. This continuity, combined with our industry experience, enables us to write high-quality work customized to your experience, skills, accomplishments, and goals.

Despite claims to the contrary, 90% of other resume writing services will outsource your work to a network of freelance writers overseas and hope you do not complain.

All our resume, LinkedIn, and cover letter writing services include an extensive repository of on-demand career-building resources. The repository comprises comprehensive guides for job search planning and implementation, executive recruiter lists, job boards by function, interviewing, and timely impactful career-building articles.

Many clients have found our Recruiter Connect service an enlightening guide to landing their targeted job. It contains 1:1 job search training and interview coaching (not a webinar), resume emailed to ~40,000 job recruiters, and LinkedIn connection building.

80% of resumes never get viewed by a human. An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is the software that is the judge, jury, and executioner of the online job application you submitted. The ATS algorithm scans, parses (organizes), ranks based on skills keyword matching and rejects 80% of resumes. The algorithm job recruiters use to search for talent on LinkedIn uses similar methods.

ATS software cannot parse (organize) resumes that contain two columns, tables, logos, images, symbols, odd fonts, headers, footers, and other fancy styling. Resumes or any document with this fancy styling will likely rank at the bottom (the dreaded job search black hole) as they cannot be scanned. Also, 70% of job recruiters read resumes on their mobile phones; elaborate formatting makes the resume distorted and impossible to read.

Our resumes are compatible with ATSs and mobile devices, boosting your chances of getting an interview with the hiring manager. Our resume layout is what they expect to see as it follows the guidelines of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), the Professional Association of Resume Writers, and the Association of Executive Recruiting.

• Our resume layout is what job recruiters are expecting to see.
• Our proprietary design follows the guidelines of the Society for Human Resource Management, the Professional Association of Resume Writers, and the Association of Executive Recruiting.
• Korn Ferry executive search and LinkedIn have included us in their advisory panels.
• Executive recruiters hire us to write their resumes and LinkedIn.
• Our resumes are optimized for the human 7-second resume review and F pattern, where recruiters first read horizontally across the top of the content, then move down the page and read horizontally across the first job title and then the left side of the resume.
• Klaxos combines your job scope, accomplishments, and hard and soft skills with action verbs to help create a higher-grade level of readability.
• Pro Tip: Use Calibri font, a narrow sans-serif typeface, like Arial/Helvetica, thereby allowing more text characters per line.

You should be suspicious of other services promising to quickly deliver your desired job and compensation. Their websites are full of outrageous metrics. Each job search is unique and influenced by demand (or lack thereof) for a candidate's skills, customizing each application to the job description, geography, seasonality, compensation needs, interviewing, and other factors beyond resume and LinkedIn writing. At least 50% of jobs on job boards are already filled or will not be funded.

Although we cannot promise you will obtain a job within a specific timeframe, many clients usually find a new role within 2-4 months. Recently, a director-level technology client accepted their dream job with a Fortune 100 company without the organization reviewing any applicants who had applied by uploading their resumes to the company's online career portal. This Klaxos client jumped to the front of the line, and you can do so by using our Recruiter Connect service.

Since 2012, 500+ global clients from every function, industry, and 60+ countries have rated us 5 stars. Read their stories to learn what you can expect. A job search is time-consuming and frustrating. It requires significant patience, a positive attitude, and persistence. The smarter, harder, and more efficient work you put into your search, the better your results will be. We are dedicated to giving you the best writing and job search advisory coaching to enable you to accomplish your career goals.

In May 2010, the government started converting federal hiring to be more like the private sector. Part of the change was to agree to take business-private sector style resumes if they included the requirements of the federal job posting. It also eliminated Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities KSAs from the initial application. For the previously described federal USAJOBS situations, our business-style resume writing, with a maximum of two pages, focusing on accomplishments, skills, and bullets for easy scanning by humans and ATS technology is a great fit.

However, a few offices still require the old federal government-style resume, which is usually 4 to 8 pages long, written in paragraph (not bullet) format, and listing comprehensive details of every employment position, focusing on responsibilities and duties and less on outcomes and achievements. We do NOT write those types of federal resumes. We do not write Academic CVs. 

The resume and LinkedIn writing process will take approximately two weeks from beginning to end.

We want to make sure our hard work gets results! Since our start in 2012, we have provided a 60-Day More Interviews Guarantee with all our resume and LinkedIn writing services. If you do not receive more job interviews within sixty days of receiving your final resume, we will rewrite your resume or LinkedIn profile again, once, free of charge. Contact us after 60 days of using the resume we wrote for job applications, and we will promptly begin to revise your resume.

Outplacement is an employer-paid benefit in a severance package to enable terminated or laid-off employees to find a new job. Klaxos has transitioned employee mindset from anxiety about job cuts, layoffs, furloughs, dismissals, or reductions-in-force (RIF) to optimism about future opportunities.

We provide comprehensive services for re-employment, such as resume, LinkedIn, and cover letter writing. We give 1:1 job search training, interview coaching, resume emailed to ~40,000 job recruiters, LinkedIn connection building, and an extensive repository of on-demand career-building resources.

We have provided career transition services to organizations of every size, from 10 to 10,000 employees. We support all-sized organizations to assist their displaced employees in finding a new profession.
