TANGIBLE AND QUANTIFIABLE VALUE TO EMPLOYERS.
A resume is so much more than just a piece of paper documenting
previously managed responsibilities. Its an individuals life and career
accomplishments laid out to tell potential employers a story about what kind
of contributor they are. So, the best resumes combine good story telling
with world-class design principles to rebrand your kid in a refreshing, yet

their competitors.
Not to mention that most job seekers dont realize to what extent theyve
actually contributed to an organization. Even when they do realize it, they
have no clue how to communicate their history in terms hiring managers
and employers understand.
Our world-class writers will help your kid sell their contributions on paper
like you never thought possibletake a look at this example to see how we
rebranded one person by simply rewording their experience.

FORTUNE INTERN PERFORMANCE
TRAINING & MENTORSHIP PROGRAM
Todays companies are investing less and less in employee training
(especially at the entry-level), and its more difficult than ever for interns to
walk away with substantial job skills or experiences they can leverage.
Its still a great first step in building a resume with real world value, but it
wont make the first job come easy, especially if they dont take advantage
of opportunities made available to them during the internship.
But with our help they can turn it into a high-growth opportunity. Theyll get
access to the business knowledge and guidance of Fortune 100 Millenials
whove gone through the same process and emerged winners, and their
own odds of building momentum for success increase as a result.
Areas of focus include:
6. How to choose the internship that best positions them for their future
goals (its not always the most obvious option), and how to secure
their spot over competitors.
How to hit the ground running and establish themselves as top
performers in the eyes of superiors and staff even before the work
begins.
How to manage projects and use every taskeven grunt workas
an opportunity to shine. And theyll land key assignments, gain
greater responsibility, and produce results during their short time with
the company.
How to ask smart questions that hit all the right buttons (without
making them the new office nuisance) and put them in a league of
their own compared to other young interns.

importantly, well show them how to leverage the experience after
they leave and enter the job hunt on their resume, in interviews,
