I recently did HVAC design course from George Brown College and approached PradigmResume for their resume writing services. I had previous HVAC technician and was pursuing a transition into an engineering and design role. I was very impressed with the quality and quantity of HVAC search artifacts that he displayed on the resume which were custom-tailored towards my target companies and dream job. A resume done by Ketul is an investment that will sure pay off.

ParadigmResume made me kickstart my consulting career as a Project Manager. They helped me articulate details of my project work (core responsibilities, project budgets, project details etc) that the clients are looking for within the consulting market. They also helped me with the interview preparation that helped me ace the interview. I am so grateful for this help would highly recommend PradigmResume who in in search of a job or take a level up in their career.

Ketul did a fantastic job with my resume. I had a tough time getting an interview even after doing my Project Management certification. After speaking to Ketul on the phone several times, it was obvious that he takes pride in his work and gives 100% at all the times. He asked me tough questions on the work I had been doing within the Medical industry and articulated them into projects. I was amazed with the resume he created. The best part was I started getting interview calls and I landed a new job in just a couple of months, The first thing the interviewer told me when I walked in the room was how impressed they were with my resume. I cannot thank Ketul enough. He was a pleasure to work with, and I would recommend her services of ParadigmResume to any jobseeker.

PradigmResume was very helpful. I was impressed with they demonstrated the experience on my resume, cover letter and linkedin. He provided support by revising my resume when I was applying for particular jobs within my industry. I highly recommend services of ParadigmResume.

It has been a pleasure working with PradigmResume. The inputs provided by Ketul were very clear, insightful, and tailored to my specific background and experience. Ketul gave me an hour session that helped me organize and improve my job search efforts and resume. Ketul is excellent in what he does and clearly cares about helping his clients to achieve excellence. I highly recommend ParadigmResume services to anyone who needs help with their career, job search, building or enhancing your CV/Resume.

I had a long resume that with no clear direction and vision. ParadigmResume transformed my resume by speaking to me in detail about my work experience. They articulated the experience in a polished manner and made sure that the area of expertise in highlighted along with the keywords and buzzwords the headhunters/recruiters are searching for. They sent me resume within 24 hours and I had an interview within a week.

ParadigmResume has done a fantastic job in writing my resume. A very professional approach to their writing technique, I am so impressed that I have now shared their contact info with others, so that they too can use ParadigmResume services in the future.

I was in the process of applying to oil and gas companies, but my resume was not top-notch to what was expected for such high paying jobs. ParadigmResume was totally awesome and they helped me throughout the process I could barely recognize my resume. I would strongly recommend their services

Thank you so much for your help ParadigmResume. The work was quick, efficient with timely edits and requested changes! Would definitely use it again!

Thank you Ketul for your excellent service. We met and discussed my profile. Ketul is a very persistent listener and experienced consultant professional. His experience includes working with top clients to fulfill their staffing needs. So he understands the requirement and exceptions of a hiring manager. He made a job hunt plan for me to follow. And I got results in less than one month.

Professional and timely. Working with Paradigm was a great experience. I highly recommend their services.

Paradigm Resume is an excellent place to strengthen your resume. With a few interviews, Ketul really understood what I was looking for and enhanced my portfolio accordingly. Really enjoyed working with him and the company. I will definitely recommend this service to all family and friends.

I have enjoyed my experience with Paradigm Resume. I wasn't sure how this would turn out in the beginning as resumes are quite subjective and unique to each person. Ketul was awesome! He assisted me the whole way through. He was very professional and made me feel comfortable. He did a great job. Resumes are not really the easiest to draft. He made the whole process seamless and efficient. I would definitely recommend Paradigm Resume. Thank you Ketul!

I had a wonderful experience with Paradigm Resume. I was skeptical about how it would turn out but Ketul is amazing!!! He assists in the best possible way. He is very professional, courteous and always made me feel comfortable. He really knows what he is doing. In this competitive world, you wouldn't know what "right resume" is. He is the best and did a great job. I would recommend Paradigm Resume to anyone and everyone.

It was very nice to work with one of the best resume writers (Paradigm Resume). Highly recommended service. I've tried a few resume writing places including some big names but never felt truly satisfied with the final product. I talked to 'Ketul' one on one with the actual writer for nearly an hour and explained what I did in my work and he took that away and worked on it. After a few revisions, it sounded so good I felt on top of the world. Someone had finally been able to explain all the things I did in my carrier in just a few words and it sounded great. One week later I had the job I was gunning for so I know this works. Much appreciated and indeed a "great work". Kudos to Paradigm Resume. 100% satisfied.

Very pleasant experience, very friendly and patient. Would definitely recommend to anyone and use this company in the future

Paradigm Resume is an excellent agency if you are looking to get your resume professionally completed. Great service, and time management to the consumer to ensure the best quality and satisfaction. Ketul worked with me every step of the way (through email and phone calls) in order to tailor the resume specific to the job posting I'm applying for. He continuously followed up during the progress of constructing the resume. Thank you Paradigm Resume. Great service.

It also entails charting a career trajectory that resonates with an individual’s passions and proficiencies.

It empowers individuals to pinpoint precise targets and monitor their advancement towards these goals. Equally important in this journey is career guidance . It offers indispensable support and resources, enabling individuals to make well-informed choices about their career directions.

A resume builder is a company that has a website or app that helps you create and customize your resume. You can use preexisting templates or create your own from scratch.

What is a resume writing service?

A resume writing service is a company that pairs you with a coach or writer to work with you to create, perfect and tailor your resume, cover letters and other job application materials. These tend to be more inclusive packages and therefore more expensive than simple resume template websites.

What is the best resume format to use?

The best format for your resume is going to depend on the job you are applying to, along with your work experience. Resume templates can help you format and include all the necessary information like your education, work experience, skills and contact information.
