Pittsburgh’s Best Professional Resume & LinkedIn Profile Writers
Updated 11/01/23. As Pittsburgh’s top-rated LinkedIn and resume writing service, we have been ranked the best in Western Pennsylvania. A job search requires more digital media skills every year. Job recruiters use LinkedIn as their primary job board to post vacancies and search for business professionals in the three rivers region. The LinkedIn digital network has become the largest job board listing 60,000+ Pittsburgh career vacancies. One of the advantages of business social media is understanding how you are digitally related to the hiring executive at the organization you are applying. This method requires a keyword-optimized profile and professional resume to improve your visibility in LinkedIn and Google search algorithms. Since 2009, our in-house, certified team has helped 5,000+ Western PA clients manufacture more job interviews.

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.
