LinkedIn is not just a social media platform, it’s your online resume, and employers EXPECT to be able to find you on LinkedIn. It’s a combo of a powerful networking tool, and a job search platform on steroids. We all know the importance of a resume, but who you know is often more important than what you know, and what you can do.

 With LinkedIn, you can reach out to talent managers, and they can reach out to you. And most of the professionals you need to reach are most likely are already using LinkedIn.

With so many active LinkedIn users, particularly recruiters, it’s critical that you are not only on LinkedIn, but using it regularly! In packages at $999 and above we include a direct login for LinkedIn where we make all the changes for you! And every package includes an on-demand e-course that walks you through how to customize your LinkedIn profile from top to bottom to ensure you have an “all-star” profile.

You absolutely can write your resume yourself. The biggest thing to consider is the time it will take to go through all of your career information. Ensure the content will make sense to civilians. Consider the amount of time versus the investment and decide what is best for you.  If you are considering DIY’ing your resume, we recommend checking out our DIY Military Resume Bootcamp.

Tailoring a resume can be confusing, how do you do it? That’s why we include a tailored resume in every resume package, and screen record the exact process, so you learn exactly how to pick out keywords and what areas need to be changed on your resume every time you submit for a new job.

Building your new Resume requires effective information gathering and collaboration to create the best possible end-product. The intake process consists of an emailed questionnaire and a phone call if desired. The questionnaire is designed to clarify quantifiable and results-based achievements to ensure you stand out from the competition and to provide us with information like your desired job title and industry.

After completion of the intake process, your first draft is prepared and emailed within 14 calendar days. Typically, it takes 1 to 2 drafts before getting to the final. You have 30 days to request changes and ensure 100% satisfaction. Final documents are prepared in both MS Word and PDF.

We pledge to deliver on the following timelines:

• First drafts delivered in 14 calendar days (after all documents have been sent and the questionnaire completed)
• All draft revisions delivered in 3-5 calendar days

In general, the Resume Writing process typically lasts from 30-60 days (start to finish).

Please see the Resume Writing Process page for an extended overview.

The key to success in today’s modern hiring environment is building a visually-appealing and ATS-friendly Resume. Your document should capture human interest while also satisfying the keyword requirements of applicant tracking systems.

Generally speaking, most private-sector Resumes are one or two-page documents (depending on your experience level) prepared in MS Word.

It is always advisable to create a resume that caters to the specific position you are applying for, rather than a generalized resume. It can be hugely beneficial to have a clear idea of your desired job title, industry, and seniority level, as this provides focus when crafting your resume. However, there may be instances where you are not exactly sure what your specific focus should be, and that’s perfectly fine! In such cases, it’s best to have a ‘primary/master version’ that satisfies multiple targets. This approach ensures that you’re not missing out on any potential opportunities, and that you’re presenting yourself as a versatile candidate.

In addition, as part of our resume package, we offer a tailored resume service that includes a screen recording of how to tailor your resume and what tools we recommend. This service will provide you with the guidance and support necessary to customize your resume to suit the job you are applying for.

Rush orders are determined on a case to case basis and is an addition $300 cost. First drafts are normally delivered within 14 calendar days. Adding rush service means first drafts are delivered within 7 calendar days. We also respond to all draft revisions within two business day (normally three business days).

Keep in mind, these timelines require your participation in completing the client intake process (questionnaire and checklist).

We charge on a sliding scale in an effort to ensure affordability. 

Flexible Pricing for Every Need:
We believe in making our services accessible to everyone. That’s why we’ve introduced a sliding scale pricing system. This means our prices adjust based on specific criteria, ensuring that you get the best value tailored to your unique situation.

1. Your Professional Seniority:
   Whether you’re a fresh graduate or a seasoned executive, we tailor our services to meet your needs. Resumes for higher-level positions often require more intricate detailing and expertise. As such, prices vary based on the seniority level of the position you’re applying for.

2. Complexity & Time:
   The amount of time estimated to complete a project is another key factor in our pricing. More complex resumes that require in-depth customization will naturally take more time and effort, and this is reflected in the cost.

Remember, our primary goal is to offer quality and affordability. We’re dedicated to giving you the best service, ensuring that you get a resume that not only stands out but also aligns with your budget.
