Why hire a professional resume writer?

Some job seekers underestimate the value of a professionally crafted resume and look at it as only a “piece of paper.” However — think about this: A $1 bill and a $1000 bill are “just paper” too. But, like a resume, their value is determined by what is printed on that paper! Invest in your future. Invest in yourself.

Take a look at what a job search can cost if you are unemployed:
  • If you want a $20,000 salary, your weekly salary is $384.61 and an 18 week job hunt will cost you $6,992.98.
  • If you want a $50,000 salary, your weekly salary is $961.54 and an 18 week job hunt costs you $17,307.69.
  • If you want a $100,000 salary, your weekly salary is $1,923.08 and an 18 week job hunt costs you $34,615.38.

Please Note:

  • Frequently, I am asked to “just update” resumes written by the client or another resume writer. Due to the diversity in writing styles, verbiage and constantly evolving formatting techniques, I usually DO NOT OFFER THIS SERVICE for resumes I have not written.
  • I will entertain requests of this nature, BUT experience proves it is much more cost effective for clients to return to the original writer for their updates OR have me create a new career sales and marketing document from scratch.
  • If you are a returning client, I do updates to documents I wrote as listed above. We’ll need to discuss current goals and target to determine the most equitable way to revise your presentation.
  • ***If it has been more than 18 months to 2 years since your last update, you’ll probably need a whole new document. Technology, approaches, styles and presentations evolve rapidly in the career industry. You’ll want the most up-to-date sales marketing documents touting your skills.
