'Application/Resume/Bio or Platform Essay Crafting and Development Consultation' vs. 'Application Suggestions'
What is the difference?
This is a commonly asked question when making a decision on whether
to purchase the Application, Resume, Bio or Platform Essay Crafting and
Development Consultation.
Every Application/Resume/Bio/ or
Platform Essay Crafting and Development Consultation
involves working together, in person, over the phone, or through e-mail
- reviewing everything required on the application, resume or platform
essay - line by line, item by item to determine what to include, where
it should go and how to best present your information to showcase your
personality, achievements, honors, activities, awards, volunteer service
and leadership roles within the format of your individual pageant
system.
This is time consuming and depending on the pageant system, specific
criteria is required to assemble the Application, Resume, Bio or
Platform Essay, and will take me a minimum of 2 to 3 days to work up a
first draft for you after I have all of your information components. It
will take numerous days of back and forth discussions for maximum impact
or to receive the most points for your application/resume/bio or
platform essay.
I am very determined to have your application, resume, bio or platform
