What else do you write besides resumes?

We also write cover letters ($99), federal resumes for USAJOBS ($289) and academic or international CVs ($499). Our LinkedIn Optimization ($149) has a LinkedIn expert build your profile from your finished resume, plus a short video series showing you how to put it live.

For companies, we offer outplacement services with group rates.

What happens after I place my order?

Right after checkout we email you a link to a short intake form. It takes about 15 to 20 minutes and covers your work history, the roles you are targeting and anything you want highlighted. If you have a current resume, upload it there.

Once you send the form back, a CPRW-certified writer starts on your documents. Your first draft arrives within 48 hours of your completed intake, or within 24 hours if you added expedited delivery at checkout.

What do you need from me to get started?

Just the intake form we email you after checkout. Sending your current resume with it helps too, since it saves you retyping company names, dates and titles and gives your writer a head start.

How long does it take?

Your first draft arrives within 48 hours of your completed intake form, not counting weekends or holidays. With expedited delivery it arrives within 24 hours.

Each round of revisions is also returned within 48 hours.

Our writers

Who will write my resume?

A real writer on our team, matched to your industry and career level. Your writer reads your intake form, writes your first draft and makes your revisions, so you always know a person is behind your documents.

Are your writers certified?

Yes. Every writer on our team holds the CPRW (Certified Professional Resume Writer) credential, awarded by the Professional Association of Resume Writers and Career Coaches after passing its certification exam.

Do you specialize in a particular industry?

We write for almost every field, from entry-level roles to senior executives, including healthcare, technology, finance, education and government. We assign each order to the writer whose experience best fits your industry, so they understand your terminology and know what hiring managers in your field look for.

Have you worked with someone like me?

Very likely. We have helped thousands of clients across the US and around the world, at every career stage. You can see the range of our work on our sample resumes page.

Will my resume get past applicant tracking systems (ATS)?

Your resume is built to be ATS-friendly: a clean layout that tracking systems can read, and the keywords from the roles you are targeting worked naturally into your summary, skills and experience.

Revisions, files and refunds

What if I do not like my resume?

Every resume and cover letter comes with unlimited revisions within our revision period. After your first draft you have two weeks of unlimited revisions, and your writer will keep refining it until you are happy. If you need more time, just ask and we can extend it.

What file formats will I receive?

During drafting and revisions we send your resume as an editable Word document, so you can see every change and make your own edits. Once it is final, you get both the Word file and a PDF.

What is your refund policy?

All sales are final and we do not offer refunds. Our team is happy to provide additional revisions within the scope of work you ordered and will keep working with you to help you feel satisfied with your documents.

Can you guarantee I will get a job?

No one can honestly promise that, because hiring decisions are made by employers. What we can promise is a resume that clearly shows your value and is ready for the roles you want. How many interviews you land also depends on how many roles you apply to and how closely they match your background.

Free help

Do you offer free resume reviews?
