New York City’s Top-Rated Professional Resume & LinkedIn Profile Writers
As New York’s top-rated executive resume and profile writing service, we know job recruiters use LinkedIn as their principal tool to post vacancies and search for business professionals in the New York City metropolitan area. Even executive recruiters filling C-level positions use professional digital networking to find and engage with passive candidates. The LinkedIn digital network is the preferred source of premium jobs, publishing ~100,000 job vacancies in the New York City area. The career networking website can see how you are connected to the hiring manager and department executive at your target organization. Then you can connect with and message them, all within the platform. This plan requires a hard-skill optimized profile and professional resume that improves your visibility in LinkedIn and Google search algorithms.

ATS Friendly Resume Format Explained
Applicant tracking system (ATS) is software job recruiters use to automatically import, scan, filter, and rank resumes submitted when candidates upload them to job postings. ATS cannot read and process documents with fancy formats. A resume with tables, charts, images, two columns, boxes, headers, and footers, will likely be rejected by the ATS before a human sees it. Professional resumes use a simple, text-only format. LinkedIn is the place to add images, videos, articles, and other creative examples of your work.
Resume layout job recruiters expect to see:
Format: use reverse-chronological work experience resume format. List your most recent job at the top.
Fonts: use narrow width fonts like Calibri or another sans-serf font like Arial
Heading font-size: 11 or 12-point size
Body text font-size: 10.5 is the standard resume font size, but 10 or 11 are acceptable.
Line spacing: prefer .5 between experiences, but 0 is acceptable.
Resume margins: .5 or .75 inches all around.
Dates: include year and month 01/202-07/2023.
File type: submitting a resume in Microsoft Word is acceptable. A PDF is not required.
