Each day that passes, there's ever increasing odds that your ideal resume writer, a certified writer with a work history in your very industry, might be living in New York or Omaha or Seattle– and not Washington, DC. What if we told you that you could access that writer with a few clicks of a mouse? And that the entire transaction could be handled by phone, email and fax?

That cinched the deal with us.]

All of this, and no Road Rage on I-495!

↓  "In 2008, the federal government accounted for about 27% of the jobs in Washington, D.C. This is thought to immunize Washington to national economic downturns because the federal government continues operations even during recessions. However, as of January 2007, federal employees in the Washington area comprised only 14% of the total U.S. government workforce. Many organizations such as law firms, independent contractors (both defense and civilian), non-profit organizations, lobbying firms, trade unions, industry trade groups, and professional associations have their headquarters in or near D.C. to be close to the federal government...

The District has growing industries not directly related to government, especially in the areas of education, finance, public policy, and scientific research. George Washington University, Georgetown University, Washington Hospital Center, Howard University, and Fannie Mae are the top five non-government-related employers in the city. There are five Fortune 1000 companies based in Washington, of which two are also Fortune 500 companies."
