Los Angeles, CA - In many industries, HR personnel in large companies began working from home in March 2020 after COVID-19 began spreading rapidly throughout the country. As a result, many job interviews that had been done in-person were now being handled by phone or using online technology, such as Skype and Zoom. In response, a local Career Coach and Certified Resume Writer has launched a new service to help jobseekers prepare for virtual job interviews.
COVID-19 impacted the hiring process at many companies, both large and small. Companies that were used to conducting in-person interviews changed to a virtual interviewing process, leaving many jobseekers unprepared for the nuances of participating in a remote interview — sometimes with multiple interviewers on the screen.
Mandy Fard, of Market-Connections Professional Resume Writing Services, recognized a need to prepare her clients to succeed in this confusing new environment. In August, she launched “Virtual Job Interview Prep,” a mock-interview process to help mid-level and senior candidates learn the strategies necessary for success when participating in virtual interviews.
“From what to wear (pants are a requirement, even if you won’t see them on camera!) to how to position your webcam and light the environment appropriately to how to handle an interview with three or more interviewers conducting the interview simultaneously, this service helps give jobseekers the confidence to succeed in a new type of interview,” Fard said.
Q. Do you provide job search and resume writing services for accomplished professionals and C-Level executives in the industry?
A. Yes, that is where our strengths lie. The majority of projects we work on consist of leading professionals with more than 15 years of experience. They are either at the mid-management level and looking to transition to a more senior role or they are C-Level executives looking to expand their horizons.
Q. What according to you, are the common mistakes that people make while writing their resume?
A. This is a great question and it is what everybody wants to know. I will start by saying that resumes have to comply with certain rigid rules. Many nuances need to be considered in Human Resources. I would say that some of the most important things to drop from a resume are the job seeker’s picture, personal information (i.e.: Date of birth, Name of parents, Social Security Number, Driver License Number, etc.), place of birth, immigration status, and pronouns, just to name a few.
Q. What other services do you offer in addition to resume writing?
A. We offer a gamut of services starting with professional resume writing and visual CV templates to compelling cover letters, LinkedIn profile writing, Thank You letters, along with career coaching and interview coaching. Additionally, we write many other career-related documents such as job offer acceptance letters, job offer declining letters, networking letters, references, Board resumes, Federal resumes, and more.
