  • Cover Letter

    $50.00$195.00
    Cover Letter for entry through executive-level professionals. Your Cover Letter compliments your Resume in communicating how you're qualified and why you're a perfect fit for the job. This includes recapping your skills and expertise as well as sharing key contextual information like your salary requirements, relocation plans, or career change plans. Prepared in MS Word in first person tense.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    First, you're asked to complete a short, online introductory questionnaire to provide more information on your Cover Letter needs and desired job target. Shortly thereafter, a 15-minute call is arranged to discuss your project. Upon completion of this intake process, your first draft is ready within five business days and a 30-day window exists for edits and revisions. All draft revisions are responded to within three business days.
    Yes, if you already have a quality Resume and you need help putting together a complimentary Cover Letter that takes your application to the next level. However, if you need more help than simply building a customized Cover Letter – please visit the Resume Writing homepage for an overview on our resume services.
    Yes. After receiving the first draft of your new Cover Letter, you have a 30-day window to request edits and revisions to ensure your complete satisfaction. Unlimited Revisions applies to the development of a single master version of your Cover Letter. This is based on your choice between building a multi-use document or gearing it for a single specific job announcement. Unlimited Revisions are not intended to serve the purpose of customizing your Cover Letter for multiple job postings. In this case, customization is your own responsibility.
    Yes. If you already have a strong Resume and simply need help drafting an effective Cover Letter, this is the service for you.
    Including a targeted Cover Letter when applying to a job tells employers that you're serious. It shows your willingness to invest time and energy into preparing a customized letter. This could be what separates you from the crowd. Plus, most companies still ask for a Cover Letter during the normal application process. For a deeper explanation, see our article on the Importance of Cover Letters for Job Search Success.
    Generally speaking, the Cover Letter is prepared as a multi-use document that is adjustable for use on multiple job applications. If preferred, your Cover Letter may be prepared as a narrowly targeted, single-use document aimed at one specific job announcement. You may decide which approach best fits your needs.
    Your first Cover Letter draft is normally delivered within five business days. Adding rush service to your order means first draft delivery within two business days. Please bear in mind, this timeline requires your participation in completing the client intake process (online introductory questionnaire and telephone consultation).
    This service includes full access to our entire library of exercises, guides, and worksheets which are free for you to download within the client portal. Job Search Guides

  • Resume Refresh

    $195.00$950.00
    Resume Refresh for entry through executive-level professionals. Refresh is our budget-friendly solution for giving your Resume a visual makeover. We believe the visual presentation of your Resume is just as important as the wording. This service is designed for improving the layout, formatting, and structure of your Resume. We repurpose and build upon the content from your original Resume on an ATS-friendly and visually appealing layout. The end result is a fresh new document that significantly improves your job search competitiveness. Use the dropdowns below the FAQs to add Cover Letter and/or LinkedIn Optimization.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Maybe! This service is perfect if you’ve got a current Resume that needs a visual overhaul. The primary objective of Resume Refresh is to improve your document visually. Rather than doing a line-by-line rewrite of the wording - this service focuses on enhancing the layout, formatting, structure, packaging, and overall presentation. Resume Refresh is a great service! Customers love how it's 50% cheaper than Bronze (starting at $595). However, it does come with some key limitations of note.
    Here's a comparison chart:
    Resume Refresh Comparison Chart Still unsure which service is best for you? Submit a contact us request with a copy of your current Resume and we'll give you our recommendation.
    Resume Refresh begins with an online introductory questionnaire followed by a 15-minute intake call to discuss your needs before first draft development. After completion of the intake process, your first drafts are prepared and uploaded into the client portal within 5 business days. You may request 1-2 rounds of revisions within a 30-day period after reviewing first drafts. Final documents are saved in both MS Word and PDF. LinkedIn Optimization (optional) comes after the completion of the refresh process.
    Yes, a 15-minute intake call is a standard part of the process for better understanding your needs prior to refreshing your Resume.
    The process for making revisions typically involves downloading the document in MS Word and using track changes / comments to make markups, then uploading your revised draft into the secure and confidential client portal. Since this service isn't a line-by-line rewrite, revisions are limited to 1-2 rounds after receiving first drafts (30-day period) for light finetuning. We aim to provide timely and thorough responses. Please allow up to three business days turnaround time for each round of draft revisions.
    If your Resume isn't totally up to date, that's okay. For jobs that aren't currently on your Resume, you'll be asked to provide descriptions of your duties and achievements into the questionnaire. If you need help preparing these descriptions, please consider our Bronze package for a line-by-line redevelopment of your new Resume.
    Yes! We maintain a private collection of 35+ layouts for customers to select from. We’re happy to select an appropriate layout on your behalf – or, you may browse our digital collection of Resume layouts and pick your desired format. We aim to build ATS-friendly and visually appealing Resumes that are compatible with technology systems (ATS) while capturing the attention of the human being reading it. That’s the secret sauce to building an effective Resume in today’s environment.
    When you have multiple job title targets, sometimes building one ‘master version’ is the optimal approach. For instance, imagine you’re applying for Sales jobs as well as Business Development jobs. Since these titles share many similarities, it makes sense to create one ‘master version’ that works for both targets. Now imagine you’re applying for Project Manager jobs as well as Sales jobs. Since these are not so similar, you’ll benefit from having two versions (one for each focus). Our 2nd Focus Resume is a discounted service for building another version as needed.
    No. Resume Refresh is meant for private-sector job seekers. Please visit our Federal Resume if you need a USAJOBS-compliant Resume for opportunities with the United States federal government.
    Resume Refresh includes a matching Cover Letter (optional) in the same layout as your new Resume to ensure you're fully equipped for the job search. Additionally, this service includes full access to our entire library of exercises, guides, and worksheets which are free for you to download within the client portal. Job Search Guides
