      1st Answer Example

      "I often see candidates who can be an excellent match for my client; however, their resume is vague, a total mess, or shows unexplained gaps. It's important to me that I present only the best to my clients so for that reason, I will coach these candidates on how to write a proper resume. Often I will work with them on these documents, ensuring they put their best foot forward."

      2nd Answer Example

      "Too often, I see highly skilled candidates being passed up for opportunities they are qualified to fill. Generally, this happens because the client, or potential employer, cannot see the fit. When presenting a candidate to my client, I will write a profile about them, highlighting the top skills that will benefit the employer, along with the candidates' most significant career wins. By pulling this valuable information out, it helps the client to see where the alignment is between their job description and the candidate's skill set."
