THE 3 THINGS TO GATHER AND SEND TO MISS CHARMING
1. The resume style # you want or thinking about. (When choosing a style take into consideration how much information you have then determine on which resume it would fit best and which one best represents you.)

2. Your resume info:
• Name, Phone # and email address. (Home address goes on the application.)
• Bar Experience (fake or real) with city, state, years and description. (Months go on the application.)
• Other Experience (fake or real) with city, state and years. (Months go on the application.)
• Education (if any) with city, area of study and years.
(SEND YOUR INFORMATION IN THIS FORMAT. There is a sample resume at the bottom to help you.)

3. A hi-res image where nothing is obstructing your head and neck. It's highly recommended to send an image because managers have tons of applications & resumes on their desk and will not remember the faces that go with them. Seeing your face on the resume will help the manager remember you. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.

If you send me an image that has a solid color background then I can easily insert a bar image in the background for you. I can also do a little face-lifting by whitening the eyes and teeth, removing dark circles, wrinkles, etc.

Know that basically, Miss Charming™ just takes what you give her and applies it to the style of your choice. She will reword it a little here and there to your advantage, but for the most part, you supply 98% of the information. Check out the FREE resume info she gives you in the download at the bottom.

EMAIL THE 3 THINGS ABOVE Email your information and the resume style you are thinking of getting to cheryl@misscharming.com (or click the image to the right )and she will tell you if the information you send will fit on your favorite resume style. If so, then you can go to paypal.com and pay cheryl@miss-charming.com (use the hyphen).

CONSULTING
Miss Charming has provided a resume sample below, free resume tips PDF to download, and samples of many decsriptions to help you. If you still feel that you can't put together or know how to word your information then you can pay an extra consulting fee of $10-$30 for help. She will still need you to send all the info listed in the 3 things above to determine how much consulting you need.

PAYMENT
Payment is made through . Once payment has been made Miss Charming™ can start on your resume and have it ready in one hour (if she is sitting at the computer). Longest turn around would be between 12-24 hours, but this mainly depends on your communication with her. She will begin emailing you PDF file drafts of your resume until you 100% approve it. Make sure you have the FREE Adobe Reader downloaded on your computer. You can get it here.


FINAL RESUME
Upon your approval of the final resume, simply burn your file on a CD for safekeeping. Take or email the PDF file to a printer (like Kinko’s, Office Max, etc.). She highly recommends that you have the resume printed on a color laser printer like they have at Kinko's, etc on bright white laser paper. It will make a huge difference. Home printers don't print crisp and have other limitations. You may have to slice off the white edges around it (this is where the machine grabs and pulls the paper through). Just use their free slicer to slice off the edges.

EMAILING YOUR FINAL RESUME
Know that most businesses that ask for a resume through email only want it typed up on a word.doc. The reason is because of file size. Text only files are very small files. Your image rich PDF resume will be from 1-3 megabytes (mb). However, you can bring the PDF resume as a "picture" into a word.doc to make it smaller in file size. However, the quality lessens a little.

FUTURE CHANGES
You can make all the future changes you want because Miss Charming will be giving you the original file. Changes made by Miss Charming costs $20 if it's up to 50 words or less. More changes would cost more. Just email her to ask.

SAMPLE RESUME
Feel free to cut and paste then enter your information, also there are more descriptions at the bottom of the page to help you put yours together.

Name, phone, email address.
