Here is the Top Resume Writing & Career Services 5-Step Process to get you started:
Step 1: Initiate contact. Call or send an email letting us know what you need. Make sure to also email your current resume and cover letter if you have it available. If you call and get our voice mail please be patient. We are probably providing another client with the same courteous care and support that you’ll also experience throughout our creation process.
*Please note: We return all calls the same day they are received by the end of the day during regular business hours (Mon. – Thur. 8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. & Fridays 8:30 a.m – 3:00 p.m. CST). All calls received after hours are promptly returned the next business day.
Step 2: *Submit your payment via PayPal’s secure online payment checkout by clicking the title of the career marketing service of your choice. You will receive a confirmation email and terms of service agreement to review, sign, and send back so we can get started right away on your new document(s).
Step 3: Schedule a phone consultation. Resume writing is a collaborative process, and the phone consultation is an important step. I’ll ask you a few questions to gather information needed to create your documents. We’ll also discuss things like your career background, experience, skills, needs and goals for your professional career. I’ll also explain what you can expect throughout the creation process. The consultation call typically takes about an hour.
In some cases you may also be asked to also complete a short questionnaire/worksheet in order to provide additional information about your employment background/history that will aid developing your resume and other career communications (particularly if you don’t have an existing resume). It also helps to forward examples or links to job postings that interest you.
Step 4: We’ll deliver an expertly written draft of your new document(s) to review within 5-7 business days following the strategy call, receiving your resume/questionnaire and any other vital information. This is where you share your feedback and let us know whether you’re happy with the final product or need to make changes (all edits are promptly turned around within 1-2 business days).
Step 5: Once you approve your document(s), I’ll deliver the final files in Word doc, ATS-friendly, pdf and scannable formats for your convenience.
We do not offer a 24-48-hour turnaround, also commonly referred to as a “rush” service. Creating customized career communications involves a thoughtful, strategic approach. We utilize a deep dive information-gathering process to uncover the unique skills, knowledge, and professional attributes that impress employers and position you as a valuable, qualified job candidate.
