How it Works
1
You will be asked to schedule a 30-minute call with your resume writer within 1-2 business days of your order.
2
After that, your resume writer will give you homework related to the data needed to complete your resume – the ball is then in your court.*
3
Once your resume has been completed, we will move on to the other items included in your package (e.g. cover letter, LinkedIn template). **
* – Once the writer receives your data, it will usually take them 3-5 business days to get you a first draft and 1 business day per revision requested. For most clients, the entire process takes 4-5 business days in addition to however many days you take to send the data and revisions we need. Clients have the option to buy an “expedited” process to get their resume quicker if they wish to jump the line, but it still necessitates availability for phone calls and quick responses to our data requests.
** – For clients who purchase career counseling, a platinum package or a diamond package, these sessions may happen before, after, or during this process as determined by your discussion with Ryan and/or your coach.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is ATS and why is it important?
ATS stands for Applicant Tracking Systems. These are systems that companies use to track applicant information and rank their competitiveness within the pool. Applicant Tracking Systems range in complexity from purely housing applications to doing advanced algorithmic scanning of resumes against the job description requirements.
While ATS is not the “boogeyman” that the resume writing industry makes it out to be, it is important and there are very common mistakes that a lay person can make with their resume. Further, as ATS systems become more complex, more and more systems are utilizing a “rank order” feature, wherein the best candidates (as determined by the algorithm) are placed at the top of the list. Given that the average job posting now has 50+ applicants and recruiters have limited bandwidth, it is becoming increasingly more important to be in that top pool of applications. During our process, we test your resume for ATS optimization and ensure that you are getting to the top of the rank order for the job postings you are interested in.
Do you write Academic C.V.s?
Please contact us for special pricing if interested in Academic C.V.’s. They take significantly more effort than a traditional resume and as such have a different pricing structure.
Do you write Federal Resumes?
No. Currently we do not write federal resumes. We recommend utilizing the guidance on usajobs.gov.
Do you have experience in xxxx industry?
Our team has developed to the point now that we have experience in almost every industry, but if you feel yours is particularly niche, please drop us a message in the Contact Us form and we will get back to you within 24 business hours on all inquiries.
Why would I need two or more resumes?
If you plan to apply for different industries (e.g. Consumer Packaged Goods vs Hospitality) or different positions within the same industry (e.g. Project Management vs. Software Engineering) there are different ATS words and different data points that align with these items. One resume cannot be utilized (with success) to apply for multiple positions or multiple industries.
Do you do graphic design heavy templates? What about columns? Will you use the exact resume format I want?
Unfortunately, no. All our writers have been in this space for a long time, and we know what works – a classic, clean resume template that focuses on ATS optimization, data, and results. We have a very small subset of templates that we utilize, and we are unable to provide customization for your specific needs. Working with us means working with the templates we have, which you can see above in the samples.
What if I want certain things included or a certain approach in my resume?
Please remember that you are hiring us for our expertise. We will tell you what you need to include and should not include. As you are the customer, we will put anything you want in the resume. However, our clients who ignore the advice of our writers have significantly worse resume outcomes than those who heed our advice.
Will you send me a sample resume for xxx industry?
If you would like to review a sample of our work, please utilize the contact form and we will send you a sample of style and quality.
How will I receive my Resume? Can I get it in a .docx or .pdf version? Can we use Google Docs?
You will receive your resume in a Microsoft Word format so that you can continue editing or changing items long after we part ways. We can also send you it in a .pdf version if you are unsure how to do that yourself. We do not utilize Google Docs. If you choose to convert your resume to Google Docs we will be unable to guarantee the formatting changes and will not be able to work in the document with you. If you do not have access to Microsoft Word or a comparable emulator, please speak with your writer and we will provide you guidance on how to respond to feedback.
How long will the resume be? Will you make it longer or shorter if I request it?
Your package includes a 2 page resume which is what we recommend to 95% of clients if your experience and data dictates it. We will do 1 page resumes for clients that have less experience. However, we will not do resumes longer than 2 pages.
But, I heard that one-page resumes are best for everyone?
Research has debunked this. Ryan actually helped conduct one of the major research studies that found that 2 page resumes are greatly preferred by hiring managers, particularly in college-degree requiring positions, so long as the applicant has at least some professional experience and it is not fluff.
Do you offer refunds?
We offer refunds on unused services for up to 30 days. Once your writer begins writing your resume or you have completed your introductory call, our packages are no longer refundable. All “Expedited” resumes are non-refundable the moment they are purchased.
Can I change my package after I order?
Yes, but only before work has begun on your resume. After that time, you will need to pay full price for any add-ons and will be ineligible for the package discounts.
