FAQs - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The reason why my clients are so successful is due to my decade of experience as a Hiring Manager/Recruiter, 30 years as a Copywriter and my 30 years of experience in the Sales, Marketing, Advertising and Finance fields. I also discovered seven blockbuster trade secrets that I will utilize to provide you with a strong advantage...

Are you a Certified Professional Résumé Writer? Yes, I am a Certified Professional Résumé Writer with the Professional Association of Résumé Writers. They are the oldest and original professional association for promoting high résumé writing standards. I have earned 5-star reviews online from key employees, managers and executives for over two decades. It will be clear by inspecting my website, evidence file, awards, LinkedIn profile with 75 recommendations, and work samples that my standards are far higher than most of my colleagues with or without certifications.

Do you include keywords when writing résumés? Absolutely researching keywords and including them is critical to success for candidates. Applicant selection and screening technology has totally revolutionized the process of hiring. I can help you take maximum advantage of those changes so you will be found in databases and Internet searches by Google, Yahoo, Bing and Ask.com search engines.

Do you provide free objective resume reviews via email? Yes, all the time for those that need professional assistance. Send your best resume effort and your most desired job title goal to [email protected] if you are serious about professional assistance from an expert.

Do you excel writing resumes, cover letters and LinkedIn profiles for Executives too?
Yes, I sure do because they have always gravitated to me. As a veteran Copywriter several of my executive clients insisted that I write their resumes, and I took it as the ultimate copywriting challenge and thrived on the intellectual challenge of it. Than they told their friends and family about me. That started a snowball rolling downhill and it just kept getting bigger and bigger. That is how, I first started Righteous Resumes back in 2004.

Can you write Military to Civilian Transition and Career Transition Résumés? Yes, I have a great success rate on these. I have lived in RI and Texas both have plenty of military personnel on all the nearby bases. I also am referred a lot of new military clients because of the great results my clients achieve.

What evidence of your Résumé Writing and Marketing expertise is there?

I was the #1 Résumé Writing Expert Nationally on LinkedIn.com from 2008 to Feb. 2013. This means for five consecutive years I was voted #1 with most Best Answer Awards earned versus over 5000 professional colleagues from all across the nation. Everyone knows LinkedIn is the #1 career website, the tenth most popular website in the USA (Alexa.com rankings) and LI has > 500 million members in 2022.

I was the #1 Careers & Education Expert and the #2 Job Search Expert as well both from 2011 to Feb. 2013. It took years of effort to rank #1 versus all experts nationally in each category there.

My Certification as Professional Résumé Writer with Professional Association of Résumé Writers is shown here (on right, scroll down). My Certification is verifiable at the PAWR main website under Dallas Texas CPRWs.

My professional writing samples are available here for your inspection on Samples page (rare). Ask to see my awesome portfolio of work when you meet me in person. The best evidence of any artist's, craftsman or writer's ability is to review their work. You must do this because the writing field is dominated by part-time moonlighters (aka the clueless) and low labor cost workers in foreigner countries who advertise here but are definitely not native American English speakers or even accurate typists. Just know, if you pay writers peanuts the result is always the sad.

Published Author: I wrote two game-changing eBooks "Insiders Secrets - Proven Strategies To Get You Hired Quick" in 2011 and "Advanced Job Search Techniques for Executives and High-Income Earners" in 2015. I have added more great info every year since. I give these away to my wonderful clients to guarantee their success.

Here are examples of my copywriting skills (professional copywriter since 1991):
WordsThatSell247.com, HowToFindWorkNow.org and HighPerformanceResumes.com.

I still take the time to personally give every client an in-depth interview (very rare). This is really great for both of us, as you will have practice for real employment interviews and receive much more powerful content. I have learned so much from my clients over the years that I wrote a marvelous job-search eBook.

Examine my own experience as Hiring Manager/Recruiter/Business Owner, college education, certifications, training on my two résumés right here on the Résumé Samples page. Do you find it "interesting" that 99% of Résumé Writers/ CPRWs do not show their own resumes on their own websites? This is because a typist's résumé is not very interesting or impressive. Both of my résumés, however are proudly displayed right here on my Résumé Samples page.

Dozens and dozens of glowing LinkedIn recommendations from clients put me in the "Most Recommended Gold Group" or the top 1% of all LinkedIn Professional Service Providers in the nation. Obviously, these are 100% transparent recommendations because you can click on the person's name and instantly see their full professional profile. Now that's real evidence! (See bottom of LinkedIn professional profile to review these recommendations.)

Earned Platinum Level Expert Author Status at EzineArticles.com by writing expert info articles since 2008. Only a select few earn this top tier ranking there.

I have a decade of experience as a Hiring Manager and Recruiter (rare & absolutely essential).

My services page lists all the different services I provide. Yes I offer clients free good faith estimates, so email me your best current résumé, LinkedIn profile link, and your #1 job title goal. Predetermined flat prices simply make no sense at all because theirs plenty of good Writers/Editors and smart professional out there that gave it their all. Many of them only need some proofreading or editing help..

Consider the fact that as successful independent CPRW/High Performance Résumé Writer I need no paid advertising, since my clients are so generous with their referrals. The fact that my clients and I have prospered in so long in Rhode Island is even more remarkable. RI is normally ranked last in the nation for having the highest unemployment rate in every economic downturn. It is safe to say that I am battle tested Christian Soldier in the war on poverty.

I have flourished as a self-employed Copywriter since 1991 and a High-Performance Résumé Writer since 2004 (rare). That alone is proof positive I deliver real results.

My copywriting expertise means my powerful words sell you and build your value in a convincing compelling manner. Beware of part-time hacks and cheap and fast typists who produce weak type-written work histories.

How do I start the process? Easy, just call me to order or send in your best current resume and favorite job posting/job title goal for a free resume review with solutions and quote by email ([email protected]). Before you do either please review my website first. Hourly rate: $55/hour. My Office hours are 9-9 CST M-F & some Saturdays.

What payment methods do you take? Cash and personal checks are preferred; CC and DC only if necessary.

When do I get delivery? Shortly after payment is received. Three or four days (after your interview and payment) is my normal turnaround time. Four or five business days on executive, long, complex, or highly technical work, and multiple documents. Honestly, you do not ever want a fast and cheap résumé writer because they specialize in those dreadful bare-bones work histories.

Do you specialize in my profession? Even better! I specialize in knowing what the hiring managers/executives want in a candidate and catering to that need by emphasizing all your relevant strengths, skills, knowledge and abilities and accomplishments. That is because I was a Hiring Manager, Business Owner, and Recruiter myself for over a decade. My résumé is posted here.

Do you write Christian résumés for faith-based careers? Yes. Regularly, hence the name Righteous Résumés. As you know, Righteous means divinely guided.

Do you give free résumé reviews via email? Yes. These are for people who think they probably need professional help of course. I try my best to get them back to you in 24-48 hours also.

Are your great testimonials real? Yes. Review my 75 glowing LinkedIn profile recommendations and five-star reviews online, They are all 100% transparent, real, and earned the good old- fashioned way. Thank you for caring enough to give public feedback. Listening well to my clients over the years is how I became this good. Still, there is not a perfect human being on this earth. Even I do need to have a proofreader.

I am stuck in my job search will you help? Of course! That is exactly why I offer job search coaching and career coaching for job hunters. I even give you my own job search eBook full of proven strategies.

If I can help thousands of clients succeed and prosper in Rhode Island (RI normally has highest unemployment rate) believe me, I can help clients find employment fast anywhere in the USA. I do quite a bit of job search coaching as well.

Why are your prices so affordable when many others charge double/triple what you do? I'm self-employed, work from home, have very low expenses, use no paid advertising and there is no huge corporate markup. Thankfully my clients are kind enough to give me plenty of referrals. The high cost of living will force me to increase prices soon enough though, so seize the opportunity. The high return on investment here is unbeatable. Face it, great writing, editing and proofreading is time, research and labor intensive so call me today!

How will you deliver my new documents? Usually via email, if you pay postage I can also send a Compact Disk (CD) by US Mail. I can save to a CD and send also for a minor fee for all time and postage involved. Formats: MS Word 2013, 2010, 2008, 2007, 2003, 1999; MS Works 6.0 -- 9.0; and PDF (universally readable).

How long have you been writing Résumés? Since May 2004, so I have had plenty of time to develop some very effective trade secrets only my clients know about. Résumé writing at it's finest really is copywriting through, and I became a Freelance Copywriter in 1991. Fortunately for me, my entire 28 year career has been in Sales, Marketing, Finance and Management. Certainly being a Hiring Manager, Recruiter and Copywriter has been a great help in getting my clients hired promptly.

Do you have any guarantees? As long as you are willing to work, I am willing to help you. Naturally, I write Righteous Résumés to cater to the Hiring Managers. But, if you want some revisions I will gladly make them. I have a clearly posted 100% satisfaction guarantee. My desire to satisfy you is exactly why I interview all of my clients in depth myself before I start writing (typically three pages of interview notes). I know I am always divinely guided hence the name Righteous Résumés.

How do I know you are really talented? Read my website, inspect my work samples and do a Google search on these three words: Darrell DiZoglio Résumés. At last count, I had 30 full pages full of search results. I also have transparent reviews from clients on Linkedin.com, just view my profile there. Most importantly, you will be talking to me directly about your writing project. If I can please Fortune 500 Executives, HR Directors/Managers, Professional Writers, Lawyers, Electrical Engineers and IT Directors you will be happy too.

Why should I order from a small business professional?
You will experience a much higher level of service and exceptional result in your job search here. I do not have an assembly line. I have plenty of time for brainstorming, interviewing and researching the finer points. Obviously, I specialize in just one area, getting people hired. Take advantage of my expertise and profit from it. The cost of my services are still less than a week's pay. Great résumés and cover letters pay long-term dividends.

Will my financial transaction be safe? I use the safest possible PayPal.com payment services, so all your private banking and credit card info stays confidential and I never even see it. This is the wave of the Future. Currently PayPal.com handles over 107 billion dollars of business a day. That said, I still get personal checks via the U.S. mail too and gladly accept them. Naturally, PayPal also has an additional layer of buyer protections which means, if you don't get your documents delivered you get your money back promptly. All transactions here are 100% safe here, so no worries. I never ask for your credit card numbers or other confidential info.

Do I need a PayPal Account to pay you? No, you can instantly sign in at PayPal.com through an invoice I send to you and make a one-time payment there. If you do not have a PayPal Account already, just remind me to invoice you if I forget too. Or, send me a check from your online banking bill pay account.

I work days can I call you in the evening? Yes. I work 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Eastern time Monday through Friday, and some Saturdays (okay to try) 401-261.2401.

But all the tools your competition used to get hired are listed on my SERVICES page of this website.

Am I willing to edit and proofread your résumé before you distribute it? Yes, refer to the services page for all prices and available services.

Can you add some nice color to my resume to make it more exciting? Yes.

Is your writing original, creative and innovative?  Indubitably. Yes, I thrive on the constant challenge of providing, fresh innovative material and strategies that work for my clients. This is another reason why I interview all my clients, there is no substitute for the results that only dedication can bring. Thanks to God's amazing grace and all my copywriting experience over the years, I am happy to report more than a 95% success rate for my clients getting hired within 90 days.

How many people get their résumés and cover letters professional written?  67% of all professionals do now from HR Managers, Sales Professionals and Executives to English Professors and Registered Nurses. It seems like all the most successful people do in any profession. These same people always are thinking proactively and make sure to order their career documents well in advance. This way they are ready when opportunity knocks. Interestingly, opportunity seems to knock more often for those who are prepared in advance. It is very challenging work few excel in, so in this case delegation is a real wonderful thing and a great relief for many.

Is your own résumé available for viewing? Yes, see the sample page. This is an ultra-condensed style with accomplishments. It is difficult and labor intensive to produce due to the extreme space limitations. Do you ever wonder why 99% résumé writers never show their own résumés online?

My great info articles for job hunters are from clients who asked for help on a topic.

Will you meet with me in person? Yes, if you are local. Otherwise, I have clients all across the U.S. and Canada and will interview you by phone. I can also call you back so you will not pay for long distance phone calls if you are in the U.S.A.

Where is your questionnaire that we fill out and send back? I usually interview my clients personally for superior results, better service and more customized documents. This service is about getting you hired, not typing, so follow my lead.

Will you be able to handle my profession? Yes, although occasionally I have to pass on a few professions that are far too specialized, just ask me first.

What are your typical results? Most of my clients are hired in 90 days or less, which is less than half the normal time to find suitable work. Of course, some clients like executives are far more discriminating, so I advertise 90 days or less to be conservative. Frankly, the results are not entirely in my control. I provide a detailed set of instructions on how to get hired quick with your new documents. My typical success rate hovers between 95 and 96%.

What if we want some changes made in the finished product? I suggest that you call or email me with those changes preferably within three days of delivery, so your interview is still fresh in my mind. I will gladly make changes for you. Obviously, you want to keep in mind that I am trying to cater to employers first. You always will receive editable documents for your convenience.

Why are your prices so expensive? I do not produce weak typed work histories and cover letters which are useless. Your career is far more important than that. Results matter, so my writing is always convincing and compelling. My services cost considerably less than one week's pay. Yet, the result is often years of safe and secure employment for you. None of my work is outsourced. I suggest you deal directly with me your independent High Performance Résumé Writer and save. Realistically, Righteous Resumes pay for themselves many times over.

How will you deliver my new documents? Usually via email because we are in the digital age. Formats: MS Word 2012, 2011, 2010, 2008, 2007, 2003, 1999; MS Works 6.0 -- 9.0; and PDF (universally readable).
