Hi Jacob!

I see your point about the missing question, but I was going after more tangible questions. Any writer could say, “Oh, I have a 99% track record of happy, employed clients” when asked about their ‘track record of success’. That can’t be backed up. But asking about associations, certifications, how long in business, and process is straight forward. I would also encourage the client to look at testimonials on the site, or check out their LinkedIn profile’s for testimonials from clients.

Thanks for the comment!

Erin

I like your line about “someone who just knows a lot about teeth” but not every country has certification for resume writers unfortunately.

I think you’re missing a question. I would always want to know about someone’s track record of success and how it would apply for my needs.
