my resume already?
Nine times out of 10 if your existing resume is not getting results then the best information about you has not been included on your current resume. We request the completion of a resume questionnaire because we have very specific questions that help us gather pertinent facts about your career. We want to get you the very best results and we rely on the questionnaire as the foundation for your new resume. We would not be doing our due diligence without asking you these key questions.
Q – HOW DO YOU DETERMINE YOUR PRICES?
Our prices may seem high when compared to average services, but when choosing a service provider to write your resume (the most important document to boost your career), in short – you will always get what you pay for.
We are NOT a resume mill and we DO NOT outsource our projects. While many companies charge $50 or $99 for a resume, those are not top-tier services. Those companies take shortcuts that can impede your progress and even lengthen how long it takes you to get an interview. Those services simply churn and burn resumes with low-level, inexperienced writers. This is why they charge so little.
We in turn, offer a concierge, white glove style service that is one-on-one and extremely personalized. We will learn as much as we can about you, your personality, and pertinent details about your career to create a strategic marketing document that is a true testament of your personal brand. In fact, it takes anywhere from 12-15+ hours to create your documents. Our prices fall within this high-caliber level of service.
We also believe our resumes demonstrate their value, particularly when clients receive new job offers and salary increases ranging from $5K to over $20K all because of the hard work and effort that we put into your project.

Q – WHEN DO I SUBMIT MY PAYMENT?
Your project will begin once payment is received in full. Due to the unique nature of resume writing (the final product is custom written specifically for you and because of the number of hours it takes to prepare your documents), we request pre-payment of all services in advance to kick start your project.
