About Us

As a hiring authority and recruiter for many years, I certainly know what employers are looking for. Separate yourself from the masses. Catering to your new employers desires first and foremost is what will get you hired. My mission is to do exactly that for you. I have had a 26 year long successful career in Sales, Sales & Marketing Management and Recruiting. I've hired people in the Advertising, Marketing, Mortgage, Furniture & Fine Jewelry industries. The keys to my success were a great college education, great writing and recruiting the best candidates.

Know how and experience is what makes me better. While I was going to college for five years I was lucky enough to be mentored by two multi millionaires I was working with. From that experience alone I learned enough to have a six figure earning ability for the rest of my life. While my college years were enlightening at Bryant College, University of Houston, Austin Community College and Rhode Island College nothing can compare to being mentored by giants in business. I would have to highly recommend a good mentoring program to anyone getting started in a career. Like my heroes Abe Lincoln and Ben Franklin, I have never stopped learning via self study.

Equally important is the fact I am a Sales & Marketing Manager first & foremost. You can be assured that your resume will be designed expressly for the purpose of selling you, all your skills, talents and abilities as best as humanly possible. Expect a detailed questionnaire to extract all the info I need to peak interest & get you interviews. Why? Due to the new mass resume distribution technology, along with a genuine recession and fewer job openings today, there is more competition for the best career positions than ever before.

Your resume will be crafted by a sales and marketing genius, a veteran Recruiter, a wordsmith and an experienced hiring manager. It will not be possible in my opinion to find a more dedicated agent committed to your success. My aim is to earn your lifetime business. I will be in your contact list so I can help you for years. Your resume will be the result of hours of thought, drafts & reworks. Generally, I am not happy unless I have revised a resume at least 3 times. Why? To maximize your chances of success, I will:

1. Conduct a person to person research interview with you by phone so you'll have no typing!

2. Customize your resume to your targeted position and industry.

3. Encourage smooth interviews with a positive emphasis on your achievements so you will be

irresistible to employers.

4. Customize your cover letter to meet the needs of your targeted employers.

5. Use "hot button" phrases, testimonials, accomplishments and facts to show your worth.

6. Give your career a boost with powerful documents and executive appearance.

7. Use your unique selling proposition to effectively market you in cover letters and resume.

8. Pack your resume and cover letter with genuine creativity.

9. No logo, signature or watermark will appear on your resume, so you can take all the credit.

10. Pack your resume with the keywords your new employer is looking for.

A machine assembled or cheap (bare bones) resume is a generic resume. Generic resumes don't work. Pay for real results, and you will get real results at Righteous Resumes.

Approximately 33% of folks have never sent a cover letter. If this is you, cover letters give the employer an insight to the real you in many ways. Most especially, how can you help that employer better than the next guy. Consider them your official ticket into the fine companies that seldom post help wanted ads. Simply put, they get you interviews and open doors. If you don't have an "in" at a great employer like Fidelity Investments hire me. I will use a great cover letter to sell you. They will find your offer irresistible of course and call inviting you in for that big interview. Never send a naked resume. Always cover it with a letter. This way there is less chance it will be put into the recycle bin.

Oddly the point most folks miss is every resume should be made to cater to the employer's needs. As a hiring manager in the real world, I bring that doubting, critical and suspicious point of view employers have to bear on resumes. I also evaluate resumes via email. See my services page for pricing on rewrites and overhauls if required. Resume reviews are free via email send me yours!

My daily mission is to be a Christian Soldier in the war on poverty, hunger and unemployment. Every day I am making solid contributions that improve my clients' earnings ability. My mission is to do everything I can to get you into a new career position again. Good Luck & God Bless.

Good News! The Best Free Help to Get Hired is Linkedin.com

By Darrell DiZoglio of http://RighteousResumes.com

"Swim With the Sharks Without Getting Eaten Alive" By Harvey Mackay was my only networking reference for decades. Obviously the creators of LinkedIn.com read it to be sure. As they say: "It is not what you know, but who you know that matters." Let's assume you have a great resume already. (If not I can review it for free) With Linkedin.com even when you are just signing up for the first time you are prompted to import all your contacts from your email database. It is all about networking my friend. Even that may put you in touch with an old friend who is now working in your new target industry. Also, you can make a list of target companies where you would really like to work. Say Fidelity Investments in Smithfield, RI. Then you look up folks on networking sites like Linkedin.com etc. When you find an employee that looks like a good connection for you send them a message like this one:

"Pardon me for interrupting your busy day, but it is possible I have a mutually beneficial offer for you. I have some serious interest in working for Fidelity Investments but first I would like to know an insiders perspective on the company. I decided to call on you since we are both NY Yankee fans and because of that alone I could treat you to lunch after we meet. I am also aware of the fact that Fidelity pays a serious bounty for new employee referrals that get hired and stay longer than 90 days. If I like what I hear I'll list you as my referral so we will both benefit."

Folks who know an insider already working in the company have a big edge verses those without a good contact. This alone would be just one of the reasons why Linkedin.com has over 30 million members. There are so many great ways to network. But Linkedin.com is a big time saver. Any job applicant using a good referral from an existing employee has already proven that they took some extra time to care about making a positive first impression. They instantly seem more credible, wise in the ways of the world not to mention the bounty.

Which employer would rather pay a huge bounty to a recruiter (typically 20% of first year earnings) when they can pay a much smaller bounty to their own employee instead? That $8,000-12,000 savings may be just the savings needed to reap a huge year end bonus from their skillful budget management.

Here is another example of networking; I was on Linkedin.com when I got an email offer from a website designer/graphic design pro being out of work he offered me an exchange of services. One executive resume package in exchange for whatever help I needed with my website. Now since I am a writer that could come in handy big time so we made a deal. A few days later he had a complete executive resume package & I had my biggest headaches professionally handled without me paying a cent. For me this was a considerable coup since these computer professionals usually bill me at a $50-100 rate per hour. Even better he was so happy with his results from his new career documents he actually referred me colleagues. All this from one brief initial contact the second day my linked in profile was up.

A more direct approach to networking using this fine service, would be to make a contact here and get insider information as to what exactly is your target company's current biggest challenge. Once you know this even without an inside referral you can send a customized eye popping cover letter/letter of introduction. Your one contact here can recommend exactly who to send the cover letter to, thus going direct to the hiring authority verses to the HR department. Once you have got the vital info you need to write an impressive cover letter you can give them exactly what they want to hear. I don't want to write a book here but this is a gold mine for networking.

An alternate way of getting interviews would be to look up restaurant/hospitality industry recruiters on instead of waiting for them to come to you. You would do this under "Company" menu at the top followed by using the search function for an industry specific recruiting company. Now once you have the company you can be choosy about whom you pick for your recruiting contact. There are also professional associations for all different types of career paths. Civil Engineering for example has several to choose from. Affiliations with professional associations can open doors in your profession you never dreamed possible. Again you are using the power of networking to leverage your efforts. By using other people's spheres of influence you may find a new job in half the time. So stretch your comfort zone a bit, the payoff might just make your whole day.

Proof Writing Your Own Resume Can Cost You $3000!

By Darrell Z. DiZoglio of RighteousResumes.com

If you think education is expensive, try ignorance. Unfortunately today we still have a scarcity of quality resumes. More accurately it is a deficiency in proper English writing skills. This is why 1/3 of my website is dedicated to giving away free advice, tips and strategies that are time tested and proven to aid job hunters. My mission is to be a Christian Soldier in the war on poverty. But I am also a realist too. In the real world 92% of all resumes and cover letters are bottom to middle of the stack quality. They just don't get the job done period. As a hiring manager and a recruiter I witnessed this over and over, every day. I quickly came to the realization that 92% of folks just don't know their resume is either mediocre or garbage.

When you have a professionally written resume you can expect 75% more calls for interviews. When you have a professionally written resume you can expect to earn a higher salary. You employers will naturally give you the credit for an outstanding resume and cover letter. Most importantly your resume is a tool for marketing your skills, talents and abilities. But only as they would match your employers needs or benefit your employer. So your resume should be written specifically with your targeted career goal in mind and your employer's needs in mind.

The bottom line is a resume expert has the experience and professional skills to make sure your job search is over in half the normal time. Know that every week you are unemployed, another $500 --$1000 in take home pay lost minimum. So if your normal job hunt length matches the average 3 months, the financial loss is $6,000 -- $12,000. By cutting your job search time by half save $3000 --$6000 dollars minimum. Of course that is just an average. Once you consider the fact that your regular bills still keep coming in while you are unemployed you must consider the additional painful loss of your savings by the same $6,000 -- $12,000. So by not withdrawing your savings to live on when you are unemployed you again would save a fortune. The total savings from cutting your job search in half would be $6000 -- $12,000.

A top of the heap resume and cover letter can change all that. Even if you have already experienced financial loss, we can stop the bleeding by getting you back to work ASAP. The bottom line is getting interviews is challenging for everyone. The employers who do the recruiting and hiring rely on resumes and cover letters to weed out the less qualified and less professional. So naturally, it stands to reason if you want to dramatically improve your chances of getting hired, your resume must provide a positive first impression to employers.

Experienced Resume Writers are also expert problem solvers. Should you have one of the many resume challenges like transitioning from the military to civilian life then don't even dream of writing your own resume. Some other serious challenges would include: immigrants, anybody without a strong command of English or writing, employment gaps, career changes, very competitive fields, just rejoining workforce after taking care of the family, frequent job changes, frequent temporary/contract work, self employed transitioning to employed, technical resumes, executive resumes, marketing resumes for the self employed professional's website and industry down turn challenges. We've faced these challenges before. We researched them, trained for them and solved them so take advantage of our affordable expertise. Remember our fees are tax deductible as a job hunting expense. More importantly we are here to help.

Should you have any doubts or if you are not getting enough interviews, 92% of the time it is your resumes fault. You can have all the skills, talents and abilities in the world but if you don't get enough interviews you are going no where. Now honestly when you compare the average cost of a great resume at $150 to the cost of your lost wages for 2 -- 3 months, hiring a pro to write your resume and cover letter is only common sense. So please help yourself now instead of waiting 3 months to find out your resume is not working. Time is money.

For those of you who feel your resume is already great, please take advantage of my free resume review service. If there are any problems I'll find them and let you know. By the way if you had a friend or colleague at work look over your resume before you started distributing it that is not enough. Your friends don't want to hurt your feelings or may not be great proof readers. So do leave your resume to a paid professional. It is the very foundation of your job hunt. Remember time is money.
