Exceptional Writing: Turning Standard Content into Effective & Memorable Prose

Challenged to express achievement stories with writing that is crisp, compelling, and sharp, the resume writer must have a process mindset that keeps language fresh and respects each client’s voice. Producing high-quality copy is hard enough; what is even harder is developing copy solutions that turn bland bulleted statements into must-read, differentiated content that decision-makers will take pleasure in reading. Too often, resume writers lose their passion for expression simply because they feel bound by repetitive language, restrictive patterns, and limiting options to get to an excellent result. Well, it’s time to break out of the writing rut that we have all faced at one time. In this teleseminar writers will learn to:
- Identify and eliminate hackneyed phrases and key word sets that keep the reader from addressing the critical core content.
- Plan a resume product that integrates the client's communication style, personal brand, and thought process with his/her words.
- Write resumes and other career products using more sophisticated language yet with an improved readability rate.
- Develop a writing habit that is fun and reliable, and tools that are commercially useful and speed project execution.
Native New Yorker Phyllis is a well-educated (BA, MS) and world-traveled veteran of three successful career transitions, who began her career teaching English and journalism. Her work is published in numerous career books, and clients have branded her as a master writer and coach for the content, design, and strategy she creates. She is a co-founder of the National Resume Writers' Association and served on its first national Board of Directors; she also served on the board of The American Society for Training & Development's Westchester Mid-Hudson Chapter. Phyllis achieved certifications as a Reach Strategist in Personal Branding, 360Reach Analyst, and Job & Career Transition Coach.
